Ghost Shrimp
I am looking for information on Ghost/Glass Shrimp. Specifically are
they predators or do they only eat alge and fish food. I recently got
some of these creatures and was absolutely thrilled when they started to
eat BBA. Recently some of my fish (Angels and Cardinal Tetras) have
started coming up dead. I am sure that it probably is a disease (of
course I don't know which kind) but I would like to be sure that it is
not the shrimp. There are also a couple of guppies and 2 Ottos and 6
Cories. None of these seems affected. Only the algels and the
Cardinals have died. By the time that I found them had no eyes. The
one that I did find dieing was a cardinal and his eye was cloudy. I was
wondering if the shrimp would do that? I tested the water and it is
well within normal parameters for me 6.8-7 PH (I dropped that a bit)
1-3 dh, 1-3 kh nitrit not detectable. No new fish have come in except
the shrimps and they have been there 2 weeks. Any info on the shrimps
(sites, or personal experience etc) or the disease would be helpful.
Thanks
Lance
