I do have a happy and fat carpet nem too. But the things looked kind of like bugs so most likely not a nem.

Too funny. Yes I do and I just googled shrimp spawning and it does look exactly like that. No wonder my fish were acting like they had too much sugar.

Such a small creature made such a big mess!...

Nope I've been staring at my tank for the last while and they look like tiny shrimp or bugs. Some are a millimeter and some are as big as five or six.

Something Spawned

This one was like I dumped a couple cubes of brine shrimp in the water. Little tiny things that looked like feathers but didn't make the water milky if that makes sense.

Something Spawned

So something spawned in my tank after a 20% water change and my tank now looks like there is a blizzard under way.

ORP went from 328 to 24 almost immediately and the fish went bananas.
