Sooooo.. I’ve had this tank for a few months. It has daphnia, shrimp, mystery/bladder/trumpet/nerite snails, skuds, and black worms. Basically a fish food paradise. Wellllll I started to notice these things on the glass and the plants. I thought it was vorticella so I added tannins and dosed it with peroxide. Some of it died but I started looking closer and it looks different?? I’ve been doing research and I came up with “Ciliate Zoothamnium arbuscula” there’s not much about it online and I recently noticed it was on one of my shrimp. Is it dangerous? Do I quarantine? Does anyone know anything about this? Water parameters- ammonia:0 nitrite: .1 ish? (I know. I left a piece of green bean that my mystery snails didn’t eat and I tested it today. Normally 0) nitrate:5-10 ph: 7.2. I was thinking about dosing with paracleanse?

Hi, welcome!

These are vorticella colonies, they're a type of microscopic colony animal that filter feeds on tiny particles and bacteria in the water. They're generally harmless, though heavy populations of them can harm shrimp if too many are covering the shrimp and prevent them from functioning properly.

One or two on the shrimp, i wouldn't worry

Hey thank you! If I want to get rid of them, what would you recommend? I’ve heard ich x is okay to use with everything in my tank.

From what I can find, either using heavy tannins or peroxide treatment on the tank can kill them.

But generally changing water more often removes their food source and will prevent them from coming back

When I thought I had it before, I put tannins and dosed it with peroxide.. the ones that looked like vorticella died and the ones with the fans didn’t

Photos of the ones with fans? Those are likely something else
