Paula Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 While I was out of town for the holidays, my fish were a bit over fed. I'm now having a bloom of these critters. Beneficial rotifers from my refugium? Something to be concerned about? Thanks in advance. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckyuv Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 What did you take that picture with? Pretty cool pic! I duno much about pods but if I had to guess I think the tiger pods have the longer tails like that pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
