Boraras brigattae

**edi.helmy** · 15th May 2009, 12:10

Bro,

Will Boraras Brigattae take shrimplet? I heard this fish can help to clear palanaria. Any idea where to get this fish in SINGAPORE?

Appreciate comment and suggestion

I have brigattae in my shrimp tank .

My advice to you from my observation :

1) don't put them in the shrimp tank. I saw them attacking my shrimplet when they were exposed in big numbers

2) They don't eat the flat worm

You can try Y618.

C328 have them recently not sure if it is still available. They probably wont eat planaria though. Mature planaria is bigger than them

Dear BRO, Thanks for the advice, Any species of fish than eat palanaria? Getting quite sick of them, manual removal is always a big job for me every day..Wish have some mechanisim to clear them.

In fact i just redo my tank, they slip in through my chiller water which i didn't throw it away. really regret not to upside down the water.

Cheers

how about less feeding? or chemical warfare

, you can get dewormer from gardian or watson

. Use at your own risk though

I agree boraras brigittae do not take planaria even if you have a school of them.Perspnally i use guppies and they are great.i put them in my shrimp tank once in a while when i do not have too many shrimplets and remove them when shrimplets are due.Troubleosme though.

I've read up in some other forum that hobbyist used guppies too. But only those in juv stage as their mouth still not so big

But still, use it as your own risk. Cheers!

Less feeding will be fine...cause your shrimps will find food from themselves your tank.Don`t worry,I have tried not feeding my shrimps for 2 or 3 days.So far so good.
