How do I know when to remove the wafer i feed to my shrimps? Some of my shrimps are still feeding on it even after 5 hours.

is it tubiflex worm or flat worm with arrow head alike? New tank or matured tank?

Yes overfeeding u need to use a dropper to suck it out. Try not to use chemical. When u use the dropper to spray into the soil u will see more swim out. So just have to keep catching. I do overfeed last time so 2 week back i spent night time catching worms.

It looks more like tubiflex worm actually. my tank is about 1 month plus old.

Is it possible to put like a very small fish inside to eat the worms? If yes, what is e best recommended fish?
