dip for one minute in a 5% bleach solution, rinse well, soak for a few minutes in clean tap water with a large amount of dechlor (10 times normal)

19 parts water/1 part bleach

ok thanks, I just started lifting the plants out and wow millions of worms expecially on the myrio, I swished the myrio around in my tank and worms were falling out all over the place.

some plant don't tolerate bleach well, I would only dip the delicate leaved plants for 30 sec
No experience with the myrio, but blyxa and downoi don't do well, even my temples are hurt a little

Do any type of fish eat these worms you are talking about?
