Problems With Tiny Shrimp

[j_g]

I have many hundreds of tiny shrimp in my tank with nothing to reduce there numbers. I only have one damsel in the tank along with a couple of shrimp and crabs. Do I need another fish to control the shrimp population or is it ok to have this many baby shrimp? and what fish should I get to keep them under control?

The Mysids are harmless. Their population will climb & fall. Next month you might not see any only to see them in mass again the month after.

Hey Bang - can the same thing happen with pods? I was fearing something was killing them off.

How would I get them to you? I will post a picture of them..

 

[j_g]

well....I cant get a picture of them cause they're transparent! I take pictures but they are only 1/4 inch long and totally see through....I dont know if they are special shrimp or not but ive never seen transparent shrimp before.

I think in a bag or jar with a heat pack and priority shipping would work. Email me

bangguy- what do you think this is?

this slug just appeared magically overnight one night.. he came from out of nowhere. no one could tell me if he was bad for my reef tank.

Looks like something that would eat Leather Corals. Do you have a pic of the top?

Bang - its funny you say that...last night he got on my leather coral and a puff of white smoke surround my leather. I didnt know what was going on so I took the slug for a little ride to the back door!! He only came out after the lights went out anyway and I wasnt wanting to take any chances. This is the closest pic to the top that I have. What made you think he is a leather eater?
