Wow... something new.. I have few worm like thing at my RCS tank and it is super small and white color, I can't identify what the hack it is ... but the size is close to the one in chiobu's clip... anyway to remove the "parasite"? funny thing is those parasite only move around the plant.. not attacking or hitch any RCS..

naoki, i believe those super small white color thingy due to excess of food... u may try to reduce the food supply or for extreme case, do masive water change... i believe it'll help...

But i don't think it will really lower the amount.. as i see some of them might feed on the dead plant or something on the gravel.. tried 2-3 days without feeding the RCS but still see the white thing moving around.. but usually worst or the white thing population boost after 1 day of over feeding..

Hi,

I just lost all my CRS!....they just disappeared from my tank...thought hiding under the wood where I have planted the grass.

I was moving the wood and found the white kinda of insect, tiny and swimming around.

Could this be the one eating up my CRS? so sad now had about around 50 of them and had babies too!

If it is the problem, how to get rid of it?

And worse is I bought almost all CRS and plants from PETSHOP IN MV!!!! DAMN

^ care to explain or post pics of the swimming insect? easier for the sifus to help you hehe
> this is just a guess, since im not expert in this kind of hobby haha,
maybe its dragonfly or damsel nymphs? or planaria? or cyclops?
or daphnia? hydra could pose harmful to fish and shrimp fries too.

It swims fast and hide...so I catch them with the net. However, it looks like centipede though, tiny n white in colour.

OMG... Damselfly nymph? is't that thing kill all the small fishes...? better remove it..

so ure fishes are located in a pond? or by the window?
Oh Noes~ Thats a feisty little predator
Sadly wildlife and ornamental fish & shrimps often don't get on well with each other i guess

From my case.. i think i got it from LFS plant.. i'm suspecting it because the plant they sold in the aquarium is open air which mosquito or damselfly might lay eggs in it for some time... just throw it away or you can keep it as new pet feed lil fish to it and see how it grows...

Is that what it is called? ITS DAMN! Eaten all my CRS.

Does anYone know where to get wholesale sinking pellet??

Edit*
which is better, sinking pallets or algae wafers?

I'm not pro in identifying but they look very similar to me look for damselfly nymph, try look for image in google and compare it . But seriously... that thing has eaten all you CRS??? wow.... that is a huge lost.... heard those are carnivore.

Do you know where it came from?

Damselfly nymph from damselfly and dragonfly nymph from dragonfly? you usually get it from pond or lake, what i mean is if you often use net to catch wild fish from abandon pond or abandon lake, there is a very high chance you find those. Especially when you see dragonfly or damselfly flying around..

Kindda scary when RCS start multiplying... 1 feet aquarium having about 10-20 shrimplet... more coming...
