Hello, everyone!
I just joined the forums, and I'm so excited to have a place to talk to fellow hobbyists! I have a 5 gallon planted tank with red cherry shrimp and a large Zebra Nerite snail. Unfortunately, I've had a bloom of detritus worms, the kind that crawl on the glass. I don't mind having a few but such large quantities is disturbing. I cut back on excess and have been doing more frequent cleaning/water changes. It doesn't seem any better, and I'm terrified of a giant population. Is there any fish you'd recommend I put in there to eat the worms without having the risk of my shrimp being eaten?
I've been so stressed about this, so thanks for the help!
