You got HOOKED UP!!

 

[McMullen]

Whoa!! Awesome!! Are you looking into tank or did you pull out Cheato? At least I think that's Cheato......

 

[Wiz]

There is chaeto in my fuge. But that piece im not sure is. I bought it for $5 it looks like chaeto but grows more like grass. Central root at the bottom which is attatched to a mussel shell and grows like grass. Straight up no curling. Here is a vid of my 30l fuge to give you a scale reference. :-) (original vid was in tank)

They do eat other pods. Fyi. Doesnt bother me. :-) I've also seen them graze on algae and at times appear to filter feed. They are the freakiest coolest looking little creatures.

Last vid is viewable.....for me :)

How are you getting that level of magnification?

BTW, I've never heard of these things.......very cool!!!

Looks like the perfect aquarium habitat for them.

Curious if yall agree. First vid you see the shrimp grab and eat a copeapod. Second vid it appears the top one filters while the bottom one grazes. Such unique creatures.

 

[McMullen]

Holy cow!!! Great timing for top video!! I agree, eating a pod and filter feeding!

 

[Wiz]

Man that Mineral mud really gunked up my fuge. But the life in it is amazing and everything seems fine so, cool I guess. :-)
