    Hi people,

    Detritus worms are appearing above the water line, my guess is they climbed all the way up from the gravel.
    My water parameters:
    Ph:6.5 (Has tannin)
    Kh:6
    Gh:5
    NH3:0
    NO2:0
    NO3: less than 10ppm
    Fertiliser : 2HR aquarist
    Plants : Red root floaters, amazon frogbit, water sprite, water wisteria, marimos, java moss.
    Stockings: 15 White cloud minnows, neocaridinas, 1 amano, 1 otocinclus and 1 bristlenose pleco

    Fishes and shrimps appear healthy and eating well. No problems with molting. Strands of algae on aquarium glass surface (they are from cycling and i am too lazy to remove them. They are not propagating). Photo-period is 8h per day. I do 10% water change weekly.

    I remove the worms whenever i see them. Should i be worried? Anyone can shed some light on such odd behavior?
