Pond snail eggs, those are harmless to shrimp. They're just annoying

YES Dragonfly Nymph, it will KILL and eat your shrimp.
I know I had two of them this year. REMOVE immediately!!

good day folks, 2 of my shrimps gave birth to 4 shrimplets as of my last visible count hehe, 3 are showing signs of pregnancy (the white ones i reported) and hope to build a big colony, however, can someone please identify this thing thats really bothering me? its like a spider or an insect, i poked it with a chopstick and it moved! i thought it was just a dead spider that fell on my tank. i spotted 2 of these things and i really want to kill it now! thanks a lot

Yes, get rid of. I had a 55 gal. with just shrimp and snails. They wiped out all the shrimp in the tank.

they just dont seem to die! i killed almost 10 of them bugs and they keep on showing up! might as well transfer the shrimps to a new tank. i really wonder how they managed to show up in my aquarium? i live in a condo, 7th floor, never opened the windows..

Sometimes they can come in on plants.

update: i transfered all my shrimp to a new 20gallon tank, removed all plants for the meantime i isolated all my plants in the present tank so i can exterminate the nymphs hehe. by the way, 2 of the 3 shrimps i have have eggs already and my shrimplets are all gone probably eaten by the nymphs hehe.

thanks for all your advice
