Nahz i don't want to test it liao i perfer to catch them too dangerous to add to tank. Don't know what side effect will come after killing those bug.

Potaasium permanganate? I have a big bottle that I bomb algae with...and as a plus, kills whatever bugs that's hiding in the plants too...
But I wouldn't put this in the tank directly...that's committing genocide on the shrimps.

Yea bro no way i trying that or doing that. So just do manual hunting them currently 2 ft is also clear of them (touch wood). I will stop all test flush those with chemical one down the toilet bowl and throw those in just salt water and tap water (that is not going to cause pollution hazard) into the big longkang. Before CNY

Because I only got one tank meant for CRS. The rest are cherry/sakura tanks.

And by the time I found out the cause of my losing population it's already like 99% all wiped out.

Another thing i notice now is they eat each other of the same kind when the food source run out in the tub. Like best of the best survive till the last pcs. Now i monitoring that 1 pcs how long can tahan w/o food.
