What is it?

Post by Lanemc »

Tank is healthy and producing lots of babies. Noticed this cloud in it today. The appear, last a few minutes then disappear. Appears to be live creatures of some kind. Is there a way to submit a short video about 1 meg?

I can't say what they are but they resemble baby brine shrimp. Maybe some type of copepod?

I don't know what they are but my tank had the exact same thing. I stopped feeding the shrimp pellets and these little things seemed to have died off.
