    Also why you are looking could anyone help me with 2 other questions i have. #1 I have some Bristle worms! I know about the traps ect. Someone gave me the advice to get a cleaner wrasse. So I did because I needed another fish anyway.(I have a small yellow clown and a yellow guppy) Will the wrasse eat the worms or is it false? Also I have many many small slugs??? the biggest would be maybe 1/4" with what appears to be a small shell ontop, are these good or bad?

    First,bristle worms are good for your tank.Don't know where you got your info from,but there full of it.
    Two,if it has a shell on top it's called a snail.

    Hey man welcome!

    Yes like Steve said bristle worms are actually good for your tank; you don't need to get rid of them. I would leave them alone.

    Also those are snails yes and they don't hurt anything, and they will probably just cruise around and eat some algae.

    Also how do you like your biocube? I was considering either that or a nano cube, but leaning more towards the nano cube.

    Zach,

    If you are looking at the cubes, look at least a 29, I had the 14 and quickly out grew the tank without trying, added a few mushrooms, then boom, needed a bigger tank
    Tanks,

    Zach,unless your going for a specialty tank I would recommend a full size tank.

    Thanks everyone. About the bristle worms I read a bunch of forums ect. and it seemed to be that some said the worms are good and others said they are bad, I am going to leave everything alone though. My girlfriend thought that the snails were bad.. I like the biocube #1 because it was free but definetly want something bigger, but it has been a great beginner tank for me.
