How on earth do I get rid of them? I noticed that when I turned the filter back on a bunch flew out of the filter then became snacks to my fish. |

So whenever you clean your filter rinse them out into a bucket that has clear tank water in it. Then you can just dump them into the tank for the fish as a snack. Your fishies will love you more for it.TTFN --->Ta-Ta-For-Now Kelly ;o} |
