I had worms in my gravel too before, im not sure sure if the worms you had was the same ones as i had but one of my severums ate it and had no problem my fish didnt get sick or anything It was around 7cm long and it was black, and there were quite a few of them too...found them when i was lifting the rocks and they were under there.

Cheers. hi - i wont let the fish have the worm since they cant be identified. To get rid of them from the gravel may be some guys can suggest how as there may be worm eggs in the gravel. Why not get rid of the gravel and change to a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
