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.
