Cyclops, Copepods problems

[hoang1912]

Just have a look my tank and notice that Cyclops, Copepods and Freshwater Limpet population increase really fast.

According to Dean's post http://www.shrimpkeepersforum.com/forum/showthread.php/1479-Aquarium-Tank-creatures-101 These guys are no problems but it look so annoying :dejection:.

Anyone know how to kill these thing? Does Internal Parasite Clear can wipe them out?

Fish will eat them all, put in some Endlers or Guppy's & they'll eat them :victorious:

[hoang1912]

what about shrimplets? they gonna eat them all also :crushed:

[ineke]

Do the Endlers really eat them? I have a tank with the same problem, no shrimplets but the water is ph5.6 can Endlers cope with that?

[hoang1912]

My tank is quite empty, just do some research, they gonna eat the shrimplet anyway but I till want to get rid of these annoying things :cower:

[Squiggle]

Yeah I've had some chase & probably eat shrimplets :dejection:

I've never had them in such low ph before on purpose but I think they might have been that low once or twice before WC's. :encouragement:

[ineke]

It's the limpets that I'm having trouble with, also internal parasite clear doesn't hurt them at all

Not sure i would stress the Endlers then:)

[Squiggle]

I know they'll eat the cyclops as I've fed them to fry before :victorious:

Maybe, if you acclimatize them slow enough they might be ok?

[hoang1912]

But I still dont want to hurt my shrimplet T.T. Are there any other way to kill them since Ineke told that internal parasite clear doesnt hurt them at all

I have endlers in a pH 6.5 tank, not sure if that helps you at all

Either learn to love them, get handy with a BBS net or invest in a microfish with a smaller gob.

If you really dislike them that much, a couple of shrimplet losses shouldn't matter. I intentionally put them in my shrimp tank to feed my Channoides :)
