Arrow remove dead animals?

My tank is currently cycling, and I have a dead peanut worm in the tank, and was wondering if I should remove it, or leave it for the cycle to take affect?

I would remove it, personally. There's probably still plenty of "cycle fuel" without it.

Would probably take longer with the worm in there but then again, once it finished you could add twice the livestock as without id because there would be a double amount of bacteria built up.

thats just a guess and the thought and comments expressed by the poster could be useless drivel

I would leave it and wait until the cycle is finished. It will take you longer but it will pay off with a lot of less problem once finished cycling.
