NEED HELP peppermint shrimp fry

[chatterboxbaby82]

We jsut noticed in one tank we have these little guys swiming along the sand. there tiny and still transparent and they remind me of tiny tadpoles. they do have a slight stripe on there back but they are still hard to see. all thats in the tank is some crabs two clown fish and a shrimp used to be two shrimp now just one and she was full of eggs now these guys i cant find a good picture online to confirm but what do u all think. thanks

they arent 'pods'?

[chatterboxbaby82]

nope they are not pods we watched them for a few mins there really hard to see. but they literally look like tadpoles but they blend in with the sand some they were not crawling but actually swiming right under the peppermint shrimp. I wish i could find a pictures somewhere

edit okay i went to look again and one was up against the glass and they are transparent but they do look like tiny shrimp. the peppermint went into the rock and the little guys followed up under it. there i thought were 3 but seems there are a bunch they are thinner but they are deff not pods. hehe im supprised they even made it out of an egg without getten eatin. yet

This is a bookmark I have had for awhile. Lots of good info. They seem to look pretty complicated in raising but it might be as bad as it sounds.

thanks for the info i just wondered if that was what it was ive been feeding the tank some zooplex for some of the corals and such that seem to love it from what i read before feed them photoplankton then the zooplex stuff but i didnt plan on any so if they dont make it i wont feel to bad i just wondered this shrimp spends most of its time hiding so. THanks again for the info
