Having Problems with Fairy Shrimp Eating Water Lilies
Aloha!
My tropical water lily leaves are being attacked by what looks like fairy shrimp. My plants are in various sized plastic tubs, some with guppies and others with just mosquito dunk. Some of my tubs have zillions of those cute amphipods? I caught them working in mass, munching on new leaves at night and eventually taking out pretty big chunks. Is there any way to keep the fairy shrimp population down? Are there any small fish that will eat them? Thanks very much for your help. Stumped in Honolulu, Ilene |

Doesn't sound like fairy shrimp, they are filter feeders. But it does sound like something fish would be interested in eating. I'd try and move the guppies to all the containers and see if that helps. ka30p http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...dors/home.html |
