[Dmiller383]

I take it people don't really like them do they.. Well this sucks I woke up to one of my two crystal shrimp being dead found out it had molted but nothin else has died so sad!

Bladder snail. Get a couple of assassins and watch them disappear...

 

[Dmiller383]

Well what is it bladder or pond? They both look the same and rapidly produce

 

[TankMan7]

Could be either and, either way, it doesn't really matter. All that matters is that they are harmless, self limiting, reproduce when there is food around, and can be controlled with assassins, loaches, or removed manually.

Okay thanks everyone !

Cut back on fish feeding and it will help them go away.
