Yikes! hundreds of water fleas! help!

[porcelaindoll]

forgive me if I'm not asking this question in the correct forum,

but can someone tell me if I should be concerned that my marine tank is full of hundreds and hundreds of water fleas (daphnia)? They are just crawling like crazy and covering my live rock in a 20 gallon with a seahorse. Are they harmless? Should I get rid of them? If so, with what? It has to be something safe for a seahorse.

thank you!

I would not worry about it

Those are your pods and are completely harmless.

You should be just fine . just like anything else they will keep them selves in check .

I live in denver too . What fish stores do you buy from ?

 

[porcelaindoll]

I used to buy from Sherman Tank Company but then the one by my house closed down. Now I usually go to Todd's Tropicals.

todds tropicals thats the one over on hampden east of I-25.

Sadly that sherman was the nice one . the north store is just a nasty mess.
