OMG Aquatics Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Can't really see much in that photo but I had that worm or a similar worm a while back. Swam S shape and mainly comes out at night. Stop feeding or feed less. Do water changes. depending on your tank size and amount of shrimp, in most cases, new shrimp keepers don't even need to feed. If you're tank is aged, there should be enough biofilm forever for low amount of shrimps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Why? Detritus worms help keep the tank clean by eating garbage the shrimp leave behind. colorfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
