   Does the moss need any fertilizers or nutrients? If so, exactly what kind. I want the plants, but when I dose with fertilizers and other nutrients, my tds goes crazy. I really need advice.

   I have a tropical fish tank with fish, plants, snails and various varieties is shrimp.
   Unfortunately I have discovered a small number of Snail leeches in my tank and I believe they also kill shrimp. I have asked pet shops here in Melbourne, online sites and businesses that sell all types of aquarium remedies however no one seems to know how to kill these pests without killing my shrimp. I would be able to remove the snails but have too many shrimp to even try to remove them.
   Are you able to help me with this problem? As I said I have tried everywhere and reached a blank every time. So far I have only caught 5 of the critters but there could be more. Sincerely hoping you can help me with this problem, regards, Julia.

      Hey Julia. Sorry about the late reply! This issue is such a pain - we've not run into it with snail leeches, but we have with snails. Fish Bendazole should not harm shrimp when dosed properly, and since it's a dewormer, I'm going to assume it works for these critters also. Some shrimp owners also swear by a product called No Planaria. If you haven't found a solution yet, you could give these a try. Good luck :)
