    scrubber making shrimp?

    My tank is loaded with tiny shrimp,,,they are NOT pods,,the shrimp look like scarlet shrimp but are clear and very fast,and swim more like a skunk cleaner shrimp,,I have thousands of them! They started showing up when my scrubber started working well. Does anybody know what kind of shrimp they are?

    Dude!! That is so cool you have live mysis living in your system on accident! I would leave things alone IMHO. Maybe suck a few out for feedings once in a while. You may already be breeding these guys and not even know it! Whats better then breeding them in the sump of your tank?!

    yea it is cool ha?? I am sure that they ARE breeding in my tank b/c the numbers go up each day,,I would just like to mass breed then so i can make some into cubes,,,I think they are way to fast for most things in my tank to catch lol
