tons of baby shrimp (1 Viewer)

[Style23]

i noticed some a couple of weeks ago now, but every day there are more....


i cant take a picture of them because they are to fast and small


but they look almost like ghost shrimp....the biggest one i have so far is like 1/8" the smallest is probably like 1/32" or 1/64"......you can barrely see them, atfirst i thought they were pods, but definatly have a shrimp shape.....


the only known shrimp i have in my tank is a single coral banded shrimp, and he has been the only coral banded shrimp in my tank for a little over a year....

Mysis maybe?

that very well could be it, i dont know why i didnt think of it, i dont have any fish in the tank so there are no preditors so they are multiplying like crazyyyy.....
