mxpro32 Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 my girlfriends tank has a bunch of little shrimp looking things swimming around. they look different than baby shrimp though and she has had them for a long time. they zoom all over the place but mostly in the refugium. if you look carefully in the caves of the front tank you can see them zooming around in there. they are all under a quarter of an inch but some are really small. you can see a shrimplike tail and 2 eyes on their head. they have a bunch of little appendages behind their head the they wave about frantically. anyone know what these are? they are so small and so fast i dont think my camera could get a picture of them.

cmoreash Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 amphipods kick ass, they are great on hair algae if you've got a bunch. Link to comment
mxpro32 Posted February 10, 2003 Author Share Posted February 10, 2003 ive never seen amphipods that swim. these little buggers swim constantly. they look like maybe brine but not sure. can brine appear out of nowhere and reproduce in our tanks? Link to comment
MacnReef Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Was I right? Possible brine? Holy cow that never happens. Link to comment
