Hey Donna, I had a big school of neon tetras, but it kept shrinking. I couldn't figure why. I heard that the ghosts were predatory, so I moved them out. Now my...
I have kept ghost shrimp the feeder kind. In a tank full of guppys. As long as the guppys were breeding well the ghost shrimp multiplied like crazy. When I...
I found an aquatic fungi...or rather, it found me. It's 1/4" so far and can be seen twitching with the naked eye. To the naked eye it looks like a white...
Okay, it must be one of those fungi that you find in compost. No, it is a hallucinogenic "fairy fungi" that the fairies and garden gnomes put in my tank just...
This doesn't sound like a fungi only because of the movement. As far as I know, fungi (at least, ones I have seen), do not move in that manner. Also, it's...

Hi Frank - I had a lot of shrimp before I went on vacation (I was gone 3 weeks) - I could often see 20 or more, which means there were probably double that...
Hi everyone, I just bought a pack of crystal red shrimp this afternoon to add on to my shrimp tank.....and to my horror i found all of the new CRS covered with...
So far the opinion is that it appears to be a fungal infection. Keep up water changes and it should dissapear when they molt. Keep in mind these are opinions...
After considering it more I would still get rid of the infected shrimp. Either fungal or parasite it has a host and will probably thrive and mutiply if allowed...
