problem with seed shrimp - please help

**jiiang** · 1st Oct 2009, 12:39

o_O in my tanks - there are a lot of seed shrimp - they grow very fast - overwhelming .. for me it looks like tiny fly (not like tiny bee as someone say). I already tried some way to make them disappear - such as buying some neon tetra fishes, water change 100% ... and the result was nothing

, they are still living there .

does anyone know how to treat that tiny things?
I'll be very thankful - if someone can help me out this problem...

Seed shrimps are harmless, but you can try adding some small dwarf or thai gouramies. They have big appetites for small things. But do you have any CRS or other small shrimps?

I'm going to reduce seed shrimps first, unfortunately there are some rc shrimps. and I will try my best to set up a CRS tank without those tiny things...

does any know any kind of powder or liquid that can make them disappear?
I saw some products use for killing screws.
