After months and months of nematodes living in the 10g tank i am using to raise a baby royal plec, their population just exploded. Im tempted to say their are 5 times as many now as their ever were. Im thinking of a few options for getting rid of/ controlling them. 1) more careful with feedings and cleanings
2) a small species of fish that will feed on them
3) get a larger tank to raise the baby

I most likely will do all 3 of these, but i need help with number 2. What is a small species that will feed on them without adding much to the bioload?

are we talking nematodes likje planaria or something more hardy?
