Should I remove some of the blackworms before introducing pea puffers to the tank?

Should I remove some of the blackworms before introducing pea puffers to the tank?

Do I have to remove some of the blackworms before adding puffers? I have several other blackworm cultures setup, but I'm curious if these worms will hide some once I add puffers to the tank... Or will it just be absolute carnage leading to an ammonia spike?

This section of the tank is the only spot that isn't heavily planted. I am ready to add puffers in a couple of weeks, but want to make sure an abundance of worms won't cause any problems.

There is zero fish, just shrimp, snails, worms and various microfauna like ostracods, copepods and paramecium. Tank is nitrate starved from all the plants. I don't want there to be any issues once I add 6 or 7 peas.

Registered for the Wurkkos official site and got the coupon for 10 percent off. Fell asleep and the coupon was expired when I woke up.

Was this just a bizarre coincidence?

It shows the coupon as dated from April fool's 14:00 through today's date 15:00. Not sure how it is even expired as my current time is 15/05/2026/3:47.

EDIT :A fellow redditor saw this post and was able to get this issue fixed for me. I was able to use the code successfully.

My girlfriend constantly tells people I am obsessed with flashlights and have a whole collection. Yet I really only have these 4 lights and it's not really a collection by r/flashlight standards.

Help me choose my next flashlight to complement my current 'collection' please. I have been pondering getting something smaller or something larger than what I have already. I'm also interesting in clip lights or a headlamp for running. I am open to any suggestions please.

Noticed these microfauna in my zeroflow bladder snail farm. They are about a quarter of the size of cyclops or even smaller. They are so tiny you can barely tell they are moving without zooming in on them, to the naked eye they look like a cloud of biofilm on random botanicals in there

I am fairly familiar with the standard aquarium microfauna but have never noticed these guys before. They are so tiny compared to ostracods and copepods. I was only able to notice them since this tank just has plants for filtration and has zero water movement.
