Louie Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I had Triops as a kid but would never keep them with shrimp , Adult triops will kill shrimp. By themselves or with daphnia they are neat but don't live that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metageologist Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 What about zebra muscles. You might not even need filter your tank, since they are filter feeders. They have made the great lakes to clean. Have a gniess day. -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Two challenges with muscles/clams. 1) They don't move much. They...just...sit...there... 2) When they die, there's almost no way to know until stuff starts dying off in the tank. heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
