clear domed shell? limpets. they eat algae. they pose no harm

 

[jmf3460]

little tiny white dots, copepods, also harmless and your shrimp will eat them probably. limpets are cool, some people actually want to have them.

i like limpets just not had them since my oebt whipped out the few i had a couple years ago

 

[Aqualady]

Oh okay, I had killed a few out of fear of not knowing what they are...do they multiply like snails? How do I keep their population in check, if so?

 

[wicca27]

i think they predate snails. im sure they lay eggs and if you start seeing to many smash them

 

[Aqualady]

How would I eradicate them then, or is this possible?

 

[wicca27]

suck them out with airline or squish them like snails.
