Oh trust me, I adore my shrimp!!! I have ghost shrimp in my big tank since the cherry's always get picked off in that one, but I really do love this little colony! I don't know if the bugs stick to them, the big ones at the bottom don't, but the smallest clear/white ones are nearly impossible...

Haha, even with paid postage I wouldn't curse you with this :-P It's not the end of the world, and I know they are completely harmless, just hate the way they make the tanks look. In all honestly I do hate to lose the cherry shrimp, it took them a few months to get established, but they have...

Yea, it's not something that I'm especially excited to do, and if it was my only tank I wouldn't do a thing about them! But I have 2 other fishless tanks (snail homes) and a diverse 46 gallon tank. Even if they only infest the fishless tanks, I dread the thought of all three fishless tanks...

It would be impossible to separate the shrimp and plants from the ostracods, there are several thousand if not millions of them in the tank. I'm trying to avoid losing the plants and so I was going to treat them in the tank where the ostracods are. Otherwise you are right, I'd just through...

Ok, cool. After reading some about ostracods/seed shrimp, I agree with both of you two as well. Pretty annoying though. I guess I'll repost this like Baccus mentioned, but I would really like to get rid of these things! I have 4 tanks and they are only in 1 right now. I've read that nitrate...

Hey all, I found some white/yellow bugs in my cherry shrimp tank. They are all over the plastic wall and the largest ones are on a carrot that I put in for the shrimp. They seem harmless and the shrimp just toss them aside when they accidentally pick one up off the carrot. I think they may...

Hello all, First post! :) I recently discovered my tanks have been infected with planaria. I have successfully treated two snail tanks (both 2 gallons) with fenbendazole without a single snail (Ramshorn and MTS) or betta death. I believe the origin of my infestation is Carib-sea Crushed...
