Unable to get a pic. It hides inside the rocks. Have only seen it once. Probably only comes out at night. Not sure exactly what it is.

I just saw an orange centipede looking thing about 1 centimeter long crawling on a rock in my tank. He crawled inside the rock. I googled it and looks like a bristle worm. But not sure. Will this thing eat my shrimp?

I am new to this. I have a glass canopy on my tank. No filter or aeration. Should i leave a portion of the top open. As of now i have it closed.

Yes java fern. But it's not thriving. Salinity is too high. Want to take it out. But the shrimp like it.

I googled the algae. And from the images on the internet it looks exactly like cyanobacteria or red slime algae.

Thanks for the input. I think the red algae is clearing up. I had a diatom bloom awhile back. I did nothing and it cleared up on its own. I have alot of copepods.

Have had a 29 gallon tank set up for 6 weeks. I have shrimp and snails in the tank. There is red slime algae growing all over the rocks. The shrimp and snails don't seem to be eating it. Is this something I should worry about? I have checked all my levels and everything seems fine.

Ok thanks. I have a new tank setup. Just received the snails. No shrimp yet. Was surprised at how small the snails are. Will probably be surprised by the shrimp too. But excited to try this.

Are there any types of fish that can be added to my tank with the super shrimp and snails?
