Copepods

[Kharrnn]

I have a 10g shrimp tank that is being overrun with copepods. What can I get that will eat them? I definitely don't want to add chemicals to kill them cause that might kill my shrimp too.


Will kuhli loaches eat copepods? I plan on getting some for another tank and could get one for my 10 until the pods are gone or at least under control.

Hi I had them in my soon to be puffer tank so I put my rhino gobby in and he loved to gobble them all up , none left that I can see !

I was told that they cause no harm and they are quite cute but gobby loved them

I don't know about cute... In small amounts they after tolerable, but I have something close to 100 or so, in a 10g.

Yeah I had a lot too. I think most fish would eat them you could try a few small neon tetras they are cheap and won't bother ur shrimp .
