Matchbook454 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Can anyone tell me what these are and if they are bad? If so, how do I get rid of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aotf Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Scuds. Some people say they can attack and kill/eat baby shrimp. Most people agree that either way, they're super gross-looking. They are virtually impossible to get rid of once you have a solid infestation. I had some success after nuking the tank several time with carbonated water and H202 but it's really rough. They'll survive in the gravel/filters for a long time. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorteil Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have quite a few of these in all of my FW shrimp tanks. Never had any issues. They feed on all of the decaying plant material. Great live food for fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
