shrimp

So I want to start by apologizing to the other post that I put this under. I'm still finding my way around this site!   I bought some ghost shrimp, and this guy was in the mix. Any idea what it is? 

  Hey everyone, So I noticed today that I have what I think are some detritus worms.  Edit: and I believe copepods now (insanely tiny white dots that scoot around).  Although what I've read online about them says they're harmless, I've had two shrimp mysteriously die during the past three days...

Hello, my name is Liam and I am semi experienced in the fish tank world, as I have a healthy 10 gallon tank with Dwarf Gouramis and White Mountain Minnows. That is a very basic tank that has fake plants and gravel substrate, but I am planning on making a 20 Gallon Long planted tank in the...

When I stocked my new tank a couple of weeks ago (after cycling, of course), I had not been considering having shrimps. Then I saw these cute little things scuttling about on the tank floors in the local fish shop and decided to have four. Now, I think they're cherry shrimps (I did look at the...

Finally! It's ready! I have been contemplating on setting up a shrimp tank for a few months back and now it has become a reality! I'm gonna be so addicted to this tank for sure! Even though it is just a cute, mini tank.. Hahaa! Info: 10litre(3 US Gal) Gex HOB Filter Cooling Fan 10xRed Rili...

So with my latest plan to adventure intot he world of shrimps and also the lack of knowledge on some of my water parameters I was looking for a TDS Tester.   I came across this and was wandering if anyone had used one before and what they though? Alternatively if you know of something better...

Hi I have read somewhere that shrimps have a survival instinct where they will die for the sake of the new generation (in this case shrimplets). Especially the males. If I remembered correctly, they do so because they want the new generation to survive and if the adult Male shrimps die, the...

Afternoon!   I'm looking to purchase around 10-20 Cherry Shrimp, they are so expensive in LFS. Any help would be much appreciated.   Location: Wirral, UK.

Hi Everyone! I would like to know how these beautiful species behave.. How they do in a community tank? Are they fin nippers? Do they eat shrimps?? Fyi, I would love for them to mix with Cherry Shrimps! If... it is possible! :p Any of your experience with them would be greatly appreciated! Tks!

this is my second tank and i decided to take a different approach to this tank, usually i go for a jungle style tank densely planted and lots of difference species but wit this tank i had been inspired by a load of videos and pictures online of the Japanese Iwagumi style tanks so if i wanted to...

Hi there,    I am currently setting up a 5 gallon tank for my mystery snail and I want to also add in some cherry shrimp.   I was wondering, would it be best to try to get a small group of one gender or would it be fine to have a mixture of both genders? I don't want to get over run by baby...

Hey everyone,    On Wednesday I bought the Tetra Complete LED Aquarium 5. It came with a 5 gallon tank, hood, small led light, tetra whisper micro filter and some free samples of various tetra products. Plant wise, it currently has a small amount of java moss and two baby java ferns from my 10...

Well I've decided to bit the bullet and get a bigger shrimp tank. the current 12L micro tank isn't really big enough to be stable for the temperature and also nitrates-wise. The nitrates I can do something about ( stop over-feeding!) but the temperature swings can't be doing the shrimp any good...

I was wondering if ghost shrimp and cherry shrimp can live in the same tank? I have five small cherry shrimp and would like to add more shrimp if they don't get much larger. 

Thought some members might find this amusing An amano shrimp was hanging on for dear life to a pellet meant for the platies. One of the platies clearly took exception to this and the result is this photo Add your own amusing conversation - mine goes like this: Platy: Oi matey I believe that's...

Hello, I currently have 1 betta, 1 albino catfish, and 1 ghost shrimp in my 5 gallon minibow tank. My albino cory is doing great and is really active. My betta fish doesn't bother it or attack it. I know that corys are suppose to be in schools which is why I am thinking of getting another. I was...
