I've been battling a swarm of seed shrimp for a while now in my shrimp only tank.
Doing research I read that theire is no real way to get rid of them once you have them. The main advice seems to be
1. Stop overfeeding and
2. Get some fish.
Well in the attached images is my shrimp tank after 3 weeks of not putting any food in the tank. The result?
Still a swarm over the glass and in the water column and my floating plants have all but disapeard presumably eaten as they were expanding fine before the swarm.
I've also tried getting a whole new everything including tank, the only thing not new were the shrimp themselves and yet the
seed shrimp returned =(
As for fish, I really really dont want to keep fish, I wanted a shrimp tank and having to add hiding places for shrimp babys to not get eaten
kind of detracts from the point of wanting a shrimp only tank. I want to see the shrimp!
Does anyone have any other ideas or solutions I could try?
