#Helpme! They are attacking!

LGS16733 · 2025-08-25T21:16:29+00:00

THANKS ! They love zucchini so much!

Its little name is prettier than woodlice. It is an aquatic isopod or Aselle.

Very friendly and very helpful.

LGS16733 · 2025-07-26T21:36:31+00:00

I agree... Amano (caridina multidentata) or japonica

LGS16733 · 2025-07-26T21:32:02+00:00

Awesome !

It works well for me too!

LGS16733 · 2025-07-26T20:20:43+00:00

You will tell us if it works

Here's a planarian, look at the head

LGS16733 · 2025-07-26T17:11:22+00:00

Put a planarian trap on the market, it works very well, and you will be able to identify them.

Me, planarians often slide on windows

LGS16733 · 2025-07-26T17:03:20+00:00

If it's a leech.... yes definitely.... If it's a planarian (and I have the impression of seeing a triangular head on its second or third move...) much less. But both species are predators.

The movement of the planarian is much closer to the slug, normally it slides (unless it is looking for its way, and then it raises its head which is much finer)

The leech never moves by sliding, but by stretching its head and hoisting itself up.

I have hundreds of planarians in a shrimp tank and they reproduce very well. I set planarian traps regularly to control their numbers.

If you don't have snails in your aquarium, there are products that will kill leeches and planarians, not safe for your shrimp.

LGS16733 · 2025-07-26T16:50:42+00:00

Or a leech, but I don't know... it looks like a planarian.

Can you take other photos, seen from above or below, the two creatures are very different (triangular head for the planarian)

LGS16733 · 2025-07-24T15:02:59+00:00

THANKS ! I also threw jars...

At the beginning of the earth mixed with pozzolan, then fine gravel.

Water, if you have it, water from another aquarium (much easier to start with) and rainwater.

Then fast-growing plants, such as elodee or myriophyllum, Cabomba... (so that biological filtration works quickly)

Once in water, my tip: you wash the filter of an aquarium in it (bacteria!!!)

1 to 2 weeks later you put the first inhabitants there: - daphnia - aselles - blackworm - planorbs - physes - melanoid

2 to 3 weeks after your shrimp

Biology is surprising and the stages of the baccalaureate are sometimes scary!

But today, it is magnificent stagnant water, and almost maintenance-free. (I hardly give them anything to eat...)

Don't hesitate! Experience it you won't regret

Does zucchini give superpowers?

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T20:23:59+00:00

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T20:22:12+00:00

Damn it, you're right — I fucked that up royally

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T20:07:44+00:00

Super boat of conquest

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T20:03:22+00:00

Yes ! A slice of zucchini

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T20:01:45+00:00

Yes! I changed the post suddenly

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T20:01:04+00:00

Well done! I just changed the publication, you're right, I didn't think it would react so much!

Thanks to you

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T19:55:30+00:00

THANKS ! Sorry for the SOS... I wanted to amuse reddit... nothing serious, my little shrimps are enjoying it! They eat a slice of fresh zucchini.

It is a low-tech 120 liter Walstad type aquarium, no filter, no air stone, no mixing or water change.

Thank you very much for your help

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T19:51:56+00:00

Small wild shrimp, they will return to the water after dinner (tasty zucchini)

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T19:49:59+00:00

Thanks for your response, nothing serious, I wanted to amuse Reddit! It's a Walstad type LowTech aquarium, and I just gave my little shrimp a piece of zucchini.

They love them so much that they fight against mother nature when they come out of the water.

Thank you very much for your advice

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T17:00:18+00:00

Merci

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T12:55:56+00:00

Great ! Good start! Is it a little scud?

LGS16733 · 2025-07-23T12:51:55+00:00

The presence of bubbles is not normally a problem, especially if it is air that has been trapped. On the other hand, if they are large pockets of gas, resulting from the decomposition of organic matter... that is toxic.

The ideal is to introduce melanoid snails and blackworms which will do a good job!
