I noticed my biowheel wasn't spinning so I was investigating and pulled the filter cartridge (penguin biowheel 200) and I noticed a baby shrimp on it! So I keep looking the thing over and must have gotten 20+ live babies off the cartridge!
How are they getting into the filter? I put aquaclear sponges over the filter intakes, which I thought would keep my shrimp from getting sucked in.
Can/should I run the HOB w/o the cartridge? That way they would get dumped back into the tank at least.
The tank is a 30g with quite a few plants. And with the sponges on the intakes, I would really only be cutting out the chemical (carbon) filtration right?
