OMG Aquatics Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Feed less. Shrimps main dish is biofilm but many new shrimpers tend to love feeding processed food. I use to overfeed like crazy but now I've stopped that bad habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindygao0217 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Is the worm harmful to the shrimp And is it okay for the shrimp eating the worm since my female keeping eating And what the name of the worm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maylee Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 I don't see them in the pics but if they're small, thin, wiggly, and white, they're probably just detritus worms. Although I didn't think shrimps would eat them. They're harmless though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyeGuy411 Posted March 17, 2015 Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Not harmful, the only harmful "worm" you need to worry about is planaria they are flat, have two black eye spots and have an arrow shaped head. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 What kind of snail? I've heard of snail leeches, but only on some exotic ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
