shrimp

There’s a saclike thing attached to the side of the tank with a bunch of white specks in it. It’s a shrimp tank, but I thought shrimp carried their eggs. Nothing else in the tank but pest snails and a neeite snail. But I thought I remembered nerites dropped the big white flecks, not sacs.

Hi, I have a tank with mixed neocaridina shrimp. I know most people don’t like when they are mixed, but for me it’s not about breeding them, it’s about having several different colors in the same tank, I find that so much fun. I have seen though that several of the babies are brown or clear...

My 15 gallon column currently has 5 Otocinculus cats and about 50 RCS. I am looking for another kind of shrimp that will not breed with the Cherries, but are easy to keep. I considered a bamboo previously for a 20 gal. Would one be okay in the 15? I have some driftwood that sits right in the...

So, as some of you know, I recently got a monster of a tank (125 gallons). I also have a fairly small apartment. I have, tentatively, decided where the 125 will go. But I have to move 7 of my other 12 tanks. I know how to do this somewhat safely with my fish move fish to temporary housing...

Hi im new to the fishkeeping world and the tropical fish forums forums:) Over the past few weeks ive done a ton of research for the new tank im getting for my bday! I have brought a 105 litre (68 cm length,35 cm depth and 51 cm height) rectangle tank. After all the research and visits to my...

Hello, I finally found someone who would sell me shrimps! She sent me pictures but I can't choose! I am on a budget (aproxipativly 40$) so I am not sure what would be the best, a small amount of rarer shrimp/more expensive or a a lot of red cherry shrimp/less expensive. There is also amano...

Hello, could someone please help determine if these worms are dangerous or beneficial? I received them in my recent shipment of shrimp. There are little worms and tiny specks like springtails or something? Also, I believe I have Aqua Huna / Blue Dream Shrimp? side note: Not sure of grading and...

I have redone my 10 gallon and removed the divider that separated my shrimp and betta. So far no shrimp deaths and the betta has blown his first bubble nest!!! But the betta is greedy, yesterday he ate 5 shrimp pellets and today he tried to eat an algae wafer. Normally he gets 4 small pellets or...

My blue dwarf neocaradinas have been getting by okay but I was starting to think that I had been unlucky and bought 10 males. This morning they were zooming around the tank faster then I have seen them and in the middle the only one that has shown any female characteristics was making her eggs...

Im getting 20 new blue velvet shrimps, but my tank already has 3-4 orange sakura shrimps and 1 red rili. My concern is if they breed the offspring will have bad coloring. They are housed in a 25 gallon, I also have a 90 gallon but I house turtles and large goldfishes in there. I could feed them...

I've had a tank going for a few months now with a small number of neocaridina shrimp (hopefully more soon!), but I haven't had much chance to observe them. I 'scaped the tank with lots of caves and hidey-holes, and they seem to enjoy that, I guess--I almost never see them at all. Sometimes when...

Hello, I need the suggestions and Ideas, I recently found the things on the internet called “Triops” and it looks really cool. I read from Colin that they lay eggs every weeks?

Hi, I decided I was probably going to do shrimp breeding in my 10 gallon tank. I heard that caridina shrimps where hard to keep and I am not even sure I could breed them in 10 gallon... Would that be possible? Also my water is on the softer side (PH:6.8-7 GH:3-5). What would be better cardina or...

Hi Guys, I Just wanna share my experience and i hope to get some advice too. so i had algae problem in my planted betta tank, and i had this stupid idea to place some feeder shrimp there since they are cheap and i think they eat everything including algae. So i bought some of them and put them...

I've been doing my research for a 75 liter tank for a betta and some shrimp. I have experience in keeping pond fish however completely new to a planted tank. My main concern is making sure everyone in the tank has enough space and hiding places . I ideally would like to have a betta, shrimp, a...

Hi all, Was hoping to get some thoughts on a centerpiece fish, shrimp or other fish I can get for my aquarium (unless I'd be overstocking); I've had a look at the other "centerpiece fish" forum posts, but every tank is different so wanted specific thoughts to reduce the chance of any issues. I...

About a month ago I got some red cherry shrimps They was all a nice colour of red although there was some tiny little ones in bag that didn’t really have any colour Today I’ve noticed 3 shrimp that look like the picture and the other shrimp I can find are all bright red Is this a different type...

Can any plant be poisonous to shrimp? I bought 3 new plants from an aquarium yesterday - they were in a tank with snails and shrimp already so there isn't a copper issue, but my shrimp this evening seems to have taken a turn for the worse. Here are my plants

Hi! Have had my tropical tank for 6 months now. I keep amanos in here as well as a few fish. I have noticed tonight that he is acting really strange. He shed his shell this morning but he is sort of lay around twitching and lying on his side/back. Is he going to die? ☹☹ he will get up every...
