tuculover Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Can anyone give me an ID on these little crustaceans in my shrimp tank? Very tiny (1/16"), look white on the glass but dark gray on plants. I don't really see them free swimming. Should I keep them around or find something that might eat them, or are they really bad and nuke the tank 🤔?  Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryC Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Looks like seed shrimp maybe (copepods)? Google some images and try to see if one matches! There are a few different ones I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuculover Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Ostracods for the win! Thanks for the tip @HenryC. No need to nuke but maybe I'll add a fish or two to keep the numbers down. 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
