Found worms in the pump that caused the pump to stop
They are in a little sack and are red when you push on the sack
anyone had this problem?

Never heard of that before... Must be a fairly small pump is it?

Either a really really big worm, or a very small / tired pump :shock:

Are they really really tiny red worms that live in mucky even anaerobic water? Or are they the larger composting worms that normally live in the growbeds but can survive in well aerated water?

Most of us remove the foam sponge filters on small pumps because they will clog up with fish poo and stop the pump. if there is a fabric filter bag on that little pump, then I suspect I would clog up and stop the pump in any case pretty quick. Just kinda odd to hear that it is stopped up with worms :?: :!: :?:
