[JoeM]

Strange jelly fish looking white stuff sticks to EVERYTHING! no idea what it is. I cant find anything that identifies it . Almost like little jelly trees,they have a trunk like thing then it rounds off like the top of a jelly fish.  Anyone have this in thier tank. Is it Harmful? Im stumped

Fascinating critter, but probably not good for skrimps!

Ok its a shrimp parasite but i have no shrimps? I do have snails that came from a shrimp tank at petco. I used to have shrimp like 4 momths ago but they died, mabeye it came from that? Either way it appears to be vorticella. I just read a good article. Apparently pimafix , aquarium salt ,ich x and ,Indian almomd leaves are all effective at killing it. And guppies supposedly eat it. So I'm going with pimafix almomd leaves and endlers live bearers because i have them.  I have plants and dont use salt anymore. I habe ich x too that'll be secind option. We shall see what happens.
