ImBoB Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Just noticed it as it was swimming around the gravel and then started feeding off the shrimps exoskeleton, these are snowball shrimps which I ordered recently and they have been in the tank for a week now, when I got them I didnt notice any signs of disease(no spots on them, but I guess it would be pretty hard to notice a white parasite on a snowball) There were 12 molts in the past 3 days (theres a total of 13-14 shrimps) Can this be a baby shrimp or what the heck is this ? -this little critter can be seen while swimming towards the exoskeleton during the first 4 seconds of the video IMG_8236.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LesterBee Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 That looks like an Ostracod, harmless and beneficial eater of detritus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
