I hv caught 2 n throw them away. So wat do u suggest with my tank or water? Do a 100% wc?

Yes bro cheeft is correct. It must have hitchike from the plants. There should be more of them in your tank. Just make sure you catch every single one of them out before you add shrimps.

There should be more.
Most likely hiding behind plants PR rocks.
Keep a constant lookout.

Yah! Thx. Will keep it cycle for another week n look out 4 them. Luckily it happen during cycling or else I will issue tornado in the tank.

Remove all the plants or whatever dw in there and do a check. Leave it like this for another week and see if there's anymore hiding in there.
