    Bros,

    I realised that my cherry shrimps tank is HEAVILY INFESTED with small white color bugs crawling around...

    Is there anyway to remove them?

    Thanks.

    when you intro the fish in, do not feed them.. if not they will never feed one the flea/worm you have in your tank..

    i tried with cardinal tetra and neon tetra but it does not really work, saw them spilting out those tiny creatures seem they dont like the taste at all,
    but when i introduce cherry barb it work wonderful, within a week all those tiny creatures and worm that like to stick on the wall of my tank just disappeared.

    maybe you can just give a try and se what are the result, if you need 1 or 2 cherry barb i can lend them to you at no cost just return them back after the job are done.... cheers
