I am excited, my 29g is almost done cycling, but yesterday I noticed some little friends in my tank. I have some live plants, but I bathed them in a bleach solution before I put them in. Then I found some old plant bulbs a few days ago from my 10g and I thought why not add them in. Well now I have found little red worms swimming around.

They are tiny and segmented and obviously free living. They move in that weird little S or figure 8 shape. I haven't counted more then three at a time, but I just cannot find enough stuff about them on the internet so I can't positively ID them.

The only red worms I have heard of are bloodworms, any other ideas? I figured when I get fish, they will probably just eat them, or should I try and remove them. I have been removing any dead leaves I find, so there is not whole lot of food source for them, they may just die off.
