Pimafix works with shrimp I dose it every time I do a water change with melifix too. But you just need to scrape that stuff off and keep doing your small water changes
Shrimp and Pimafix?
Well I unfortunately wound up with 2 CRS (one berried), 1 RCS and 2 pygmy corys that had to be thrown into a half cycled 4g hexagonal tank. I have had them for 2 days now and am doing small water changes and keeping an eye on ammonia/nitirites/nitrates.
Day one I gave them Hikari shrimp pellets, not realizing the copper was bad for them (forgive me, I got thrown into these guys, they needed a home and I wasn't about to say no - but I am doing my best to learn about them). Next day got Hikari sinking wafers (both algae and the omnivore ones for the corys) I left one wafer in overnight and removed with turkey baster the next morning.
Long story short - I am noticing small white patchy fuzz on the glass and now covering the mondo grass on some blades (I will be removing after I learned not truly aquatic and can replace with some stargrass I am getting from a kind member). After looking into it I realize this could be a type of fungus? Behaves like algae, moving with the filter motion.
Can I dose Pimafix with the shrimp? Will that even work? Or keep with water changes and try to keep tank clean?
Your expertise is much appreciated. I have kept fany goldfish for many years but this is my first foray into planted tanks. I love this hobby
