They still came back! I finally gave up with the FWE, it did kill them but not every last one. I started to do regular water changes and sucked up as many as I could. I did buy a yellow wrasse to see if it would eat them. I never saw him eat any but they eventually did go away, kind of just died off. The yellow wrasse sleeps in the sand bed. Freaked me out one morning when I saw just its head sticking out of the sand bed. I thought something ate it and left the head laying there. Until I noticed the gill covers moving. Neat watching it circle it sleeping spot in the sand then burrowing in. Kind of like a dog lying down to sleep. Now I am off topic and will shut up.

you had bad luck with the wrasse idea too eh... i think im going to start syphoning flatworms and then sprinkle them in the water like its food maybe i will trick him and he will get a taste for them??
