Ruadh Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't know where to put this so I'll ask here. I've got these strange little critters showing up in my shrimp tank. They are white and their bodies are tubular, less than 1/8 inch long. They have 5 "antenna" a good 1/2 inch long. I don't know if they are harmful and I haven'nt a clue where they came from. The tank has been up and running for 2 years. WTH!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruadh Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I looked up hydra and that's exactly what they are. Thank you Now I'm off to clean the tank better. All ways been scarred to vacuum for fear of sucking up the shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
