How to remove loads of water flea in shrimp tank?

[branong]

thanks man..

how u guys managed to cultivate daphnia inside your tanks ? amazing cos they seem to need green water to feed and reproduce.

haha... i also dunno leh...
maybe its due to the uneaten algae wafer left over from the shrimps ar...
then they evolved into daphnias?

but it multiplies very quickly.....

I managed to get some pygmy rasboras and they are about the size of the adult cherry shrimps. Think those can help with your dapnia infestation. About a buck each and should stay relatively small.

Don't try betta. My betta tore up adult size yamatos and those are big compared to cherries.

seems quite impossible becos they need algae or green water to multiply.. im puzzled as to how they got to the tank to breed.

Daphnia can feed on green water or infusoria so could be the overfeeding led to growth of infusoria thus daphnia
