semper_edem Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yep I have one peppermint shrimp for five days now and this pest is still here. Is it a hit or a miss. Should I get another one? My tank is 10 gallon. Link to comment

Dendro Dude Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 If the shrimp attacks it will send out spores and make more .do yourself a favor pull that rock out & take 1 of those little blow torch style pipe lighters to it ! Link to comment
Tenor Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Yup, take the rock out and kill it before it pop for more if you only have 1, don't wait for the shrimp. Link to comment
quillie Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 you could also try a stringe and lemon juice that seems to work well Link to comment
saltohio Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 aiptasiax, effective and non-toxic Link to comment
coachfraley Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Does it retreat into a hole if you touch it? I have had success using superglue to seal small ones into holes. They dont make it out! Link to comment

They dont make it out! I never tried touching it but I've seen it retreating to its hole. I haven't seen it for couple days. Maybe the shrimp ate it. Can it grow on the sand or only on rocks?
