Hello here,
I have a 75gl planted tank and as today I am having a problem of shrimps overpopulation. I've got something like 20 Amano and 10 Red Cherry 4 months ago to control algae, and they did a great job destroying any algae in a matter of days. Now I have a different problem: shrimps bred so much that now I have probably hundreds of them in my tank, they keep breeding and are beginning to eat plants preventing them to grow naturally.
My fish can't control them: I have around 30 tetras (among them around 20 neon and 10 red minor tetras) together with 15 platies but nobody seems to care about the shrimps.
I am thinking to put some "shrimp eater" such as a puffer... what else do you suggest?
Any thoughts are very welcome.
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Fab.
