So I read a thread awhile back about some awful thing hitchhiking in a snail - I think it was leeches or something-- and taking over the tank.
So I got an assassin snail and 15 ghost shrimp recently and put them in my qt. The snail is going to stay there because it's the only place that has enough pond snails to keep him happy... But the shrimp? Do I need to qt them at all, and if so, for how long? I have understood that any disease that infects shrimp is not transferable to fish, but after losing a few fish mysteriously lately I am feeling extra cautious. Advice?
