Hi everyone,
i have a bit of a pest problem in my tank.
And i am not sure what they are could be copepods? And also bristle worms? I will add some pictures of both,
So im wondering if they are a threat to my tank or should i leave them?
And if they are a threat what can i get to help getting rid of them as fast as possible i did do a water change 2 days ago and they keep showing up.

Thanks

The first pic I see a bunch of pods (either amphipods [more likely] or Janiroidean isopods of some kind; both are harmless) and Spirorbid worms (the spiral tubes; they're harmless, but can sometimes annoy people by growing in large numbers - you should be able to just scrape them off if you don't want them). The second pic is a Dorvilleid worm (a kind of harmless bristleworm).

No need to remove any; they're all actually neutral to good in one way or another.
