*sobs* I have aliens in my tank

Rori · 01-11-2007, 09:42 AM

No I don't have a pic, they are too damn fast for me to take pictures of.. But they are killing my zoos.

Think of a shrimp you would by in a store (that curved look).. brownish in color... and about the size of half your pinky nail.

Slowly but surely they are having a feeding frenzy in my tank and I have no idea how to save my zoos or get rid of them.. I've tried syphoning them out. Flat worm exit.. only thing next I can think of is take my tank apart and just dip every rock in there.

Please tell me there's another way ..

*sobs*

Sounds like copepods. I've never had a problem with them eating anything though. Some fish will eat them like crazy, ie Manderine.

They would if the zoanthids were dying.
