Are these baby shrimp?

Tbear · Mar 15, 2022

Hi all, I'm new to the cherry shrimp world. I have these little crawlers all over the bottom of my tank but I don't know if they are baby shrimp. Help?

Seed shrimp....they aren't harmful, but here's a write-up on getting rid of them: https://fishkeepingexpert.com/seed-shrimp/

So nasty. Thanks for the help!

I currently have cherry shrimp in the tank. Will they be ok to leave there? I assume predator fish will eat the cherries?

The first photo (crawler1 ) looks like a damselfly nymph. These are carnivorous predators which could well eat your shrimps. I would remove it as soon as you can find it again - and any more in the tank.

Thank you Essjay, I got him!! He's out! So much for a simple shrimp tank... :sad:
