Something strange hatched inmy tank

PLNelson · 05/16/2007, 10:27 PM

I went and looked at my aquarium just now, and noticed that there were dozens of little critters floating in the water column. They look like tiny mosquito larva, but with pink bellies. anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

That's great!

If they're free-swimming they could be some type of larvae. Do you have a pair of shrimp?

Whatever they are, they're likely very good coral/fish food.

Only one sexy shrimp, and she/he hasn't been taking care of any eggs. My clown was bugging out on them.
