QuestionI have a 150 gl tank with 5 dojo loaches 3 colie loaches a huge placo and an arowana. I have alot of horned snails and some japanese trapdoor snails as well. I also keep it supplied with ghost shrimp for snacks and cleanings. I have just recently noticed that on my black rocks there are little white organisms. They are the size of a pin head and move quickly over everything. I only noticed them because my gravel is all black. They are everwhere!! They are not attaching to the fish, however they are all over everything else. Should I be worried? They are at the water line as well and they have a crunchy shell or sorts. I can't find anything anywhere about this infestation...
AnswerHi Venus
These are snail eggs and/or baby snails. Unsightly, but harmless. They will also likely continue to multiply. The best way to get rid of them is to invest in a couple of Clown Loaches, but they may eat the larger snails too.
Hope this helps, good luck!
