Hi Ockly,
It's hard to remove without medication but the medication is extremely deadly to shrimps. So gotta make a choice, tigerbarbs are good but will decimate some shrimps.( Those anti snail medication will kill the wormies but also the shrimps as well. )
Taking out everything to wash is alittle too tedious for me.

Try adding 2-3 Boraras in... I think they'll eat the worms. That's what I did for my girlfriend's tank - No more worms. I added some Boraras Merahs...

Thanks Micheal and brianclaw for some advices...

May I know where does these worms come from?? Gravel or food waste??
