The small white dots should be a species of ostracods (aka seed shrimps)... though the larger white one at the right side of the photo seems too large to be a seed shrimp, any close-up macro focused photo of the larger critter?
Hi all,
Recently i found out that my shrimps tank there is this white little thing hiding in my substrate. it may or may not be a worm. cant really see. it look very tiny and it always come out when my light is on. it has been growing more and more. can anyone advice how can i remove this unknown white little thing in my tanks. any idea what is this too? my shrimps seem to be doing well. had been continuing giving birth. 1 of my shrimp is berried too as you can see. please advice and help me.

seudzar - if that the case, what can i do ?
They are seed shrimps. What u can do now is control your feeding and siphon them out
Did u use a certain bacteria dose call purify from TW?
Arggh.. hate the seed shrimp. Once you have it, it is quite hard to get rid of it 100%. I ever put into rasbora. Also no use. Think you will have to monitor your feeding. Use a feeding plate instead.
Or you use GUSH catchpen. I heard it is quite effective. But i never try before.

Yes, they are tough to remove unless you uses fishes like tetras, well, if you use tetras, they going to eat your shrimps also
Only way to remove is to reset tank.
No wooty100. did not use any bacteria dose.
yes, I did a research on it too. mostly said can introduce some fish to eat it. but after that they might come back again.
worse case will be like what Stinson said. will have to reset my tank.
thank for all the advice. I will continue to observe and feed less too. hope it will be better.
have ostracods in my tanks too. honestly, don't see why they're a problem though. anyone explain?

For me, It just too any of them. when I see the tank, I don't feel good. just wanted to see shrimps only.
