flossy Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Found a bunch of these in my shrimp tank and wanted to know how to get rid of them and if they are harmful to baby shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverback Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Hard to tell from photo. Can you take a closer Pic of them on the glass. My guess is they are limpets but not 100% sure. If they are limpets should be harmless to shrimp. Eat algae and uneaten food. Scrape them off or gravel vac them out to control population. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Looks like limpet snails. What kind of rocks are in your tank? What kind of substrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 Need clearer photo. Shells look more pointy than limpet shells. Snails and shrimps coexist well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I think they are limpets. Great for your shrimp tank. They help clean the glass. Their population depends on how much you feed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
