    Pinocchio Shrimp tank in a hurry

    Well, I just got a Caridina gracilirostris from my LFS and I am suspecting he was a stowaway since there are no brackish aquariums there. He is a cute little dude and if I take him back he'll probably die, as I do not think they'll bother setting up a brackish tank just for him. I am prepared...

    Shrimp in a bowl

    I have an old 10-gallon bowl from my parent (they used to keep goldfish in it :no:) but it has laid empty for ages, I am not one to waste things and was wondering if I should set it up as a shrimp bowl. I have a low pH, so I was thinking about setting it up as well planted crystal shrimp tank...

    Tankmates for betta

    Are there any other animals I can add to a 5 gal without overcrowding it? I've got snails and live plants right now, and planning to get a betta for it soon. Could I add ghost/cherry shrimp or would that be too much? Any other recommendations?

    Random Pattern Appeared (Blue RCS)

    Hi all! Any ideas what this random pattern is? I doubt it is associated with being berried as I have 8 others who currently are and all is well with them! Yesterday it was 4 dots, today it is 5!

    Idle, inactive cherry shrimp

    I bought some cherry shrimp for the first time recently, got 5 of them from a LFS. I've put them in a tank with otos, CPDS and Amanos. I've been keeping amanos for a while with great success, so I figured I was ready. This tank is only 10g, but its well over 3 years old. It's heavily filtered...

    Are these shrimp eggs?

    Thereā€™s a saclike thing attached to the side of the tank with a bunch of white specks in it. Itā€™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.

    Culling mixed neocaridina shrimp

    Hi, I have a tank with mixed neocaridina shrimp. I know most people donā€™t like when they are mixed, but for me itā€™s not about breeding them, itā€™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...

    15 Gal Column

    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...

    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...

    Should I remove different species shrimp?

    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...
