Hi there, since introducing floating plants to my to my CRS Tank I've gained a load of hitch hikers, Cyclops included, tanks appears healthy (shrimplets are growing well). I'm dosing Biozyme at lights out to the tank (not dry dosed, but liquified and dosed throughout water column) so I can't avoid but end up feeding the substrate. Come morning my shrimp treat the substrate like lava as the population of worms rises to the top of the substrate to feed on the new biofilm. I'm in the process of setting up a new scaped tank to move them to and was planning on treating the new tank with panacur before moving the shrimp and floaters over since if I dosed the tank as it is I'm assuming the mass worm death resultant ammonia spike would wipe out my colony of shrimp. Question is - treat new tank before or after move ? Or do I treat at all ?

From the below images is there any critter to worry about - (first image is a crop from full frame and the second is a further zoomed crop). These are 800x600 for here, full res crops on Flickr.

Suggestions welcome.

Not sure on what type of wormy-critters those are, but nice clear pics! You could try add some assasin snails, they seem to eat worms in the substrate. Used to have lots of MTS and tubifex worms in my substrate, now I just have assassins :).
