Thanks everyone for the votes but I'm going to withdraw from the comp & decline the prize. I really didn't expect to win, I was just adding to the numbers & to encourage participation. I'll leave it up to NB what he wants to do with the prize, thanks to everyone who participated & to NB for running it, let's hope there's many more fantastic comps to come!

Opinions on scuds

Not that I could notice with the fish I listed.
Those have very small mouths. And the fish were not left in there permanently. Only 6 months at most.

Did adding fish impact on your shrimp at all?

Opinions on scuds

Scuds are the bane of shrimp keepers.
They seemingly appear out of no where. I used to have them in a couple of tanks. And finally got rid of them after many months of trying different things. The most effective was to put in a few fish. Just make sure you choose ones that will not harm your shrimp.
I used chilli rasboras, galaxy rasbora (celestial pearl danio) and white cloud mountain minnows. Left them in there for 6 months to be sure they got the scuds and any hatching from eggs left in the substrate.

Thanks for the reply. I'm still fishing them out on site and using a home made trap.
At this stage they're still not a huge problem, but I am preparing a spare 38 liter tank if it gets too much.
It's interesting to hear that scuds overall aren't harmful to shrimp, it's very different from what I usually hear that they'll destroy everything.
I hope that I can get a lid on them so I don't have to teardown.

I had some once but spotted them fairly early I think. They got into the tank from stuff I took from an outside pond and put into the tank. I took everything out except the substrate, then fished out the scuds, checking frequently for a few days. After a couple of days I started returning the very carefully checked over contents and shrimp. It worked out well but did mean a lot of work! The tank had been running for a few years and so was due to be redone anyway so it wasn't too big of a deal for me, but there was still the possibility I didn't get them all and they would then return, though I must have got them all as that didn't happen, thankfully. I re-used everything from the tank, just used a bucket to check each item over very carefully before returning it to the tank.
The scuds aren't harmful, and even indicate the water is good if they are doing well. Any treatment you could try is almost certainly going to also kill shrimp! You can just keep fishing them out when you see them, but that will likely become a never ending chore, but can keep the numbers low if you don't mind seeing them occasionally, some people actually quite like the extrra diversity.
