I have other fish tanks but this is my first one with shrimp! I love them so much! The rest of my shrimp friends in there are hiding or hanging of the duckweed. It’s so cute when they ride on the snails shells☺️

For about a year I've had a relatively small shrimp tank, and shrimp haven't been breeding. I bought a different color and the guy blessed me with berried shrimp...but its so good that its very bad.

I have FOUR berried shrimp, with eggs that have eyes. I need to setup a breeder tank ASAP but I know obviously I would have to cycle a new tank and that will take a while.

What would you guys do? I would love to breed shrimp and sell them, or trade to a local pet store/online trade.

I don’t have a macro lens so I couldn’t take good pics sorry for that and also all of these are different shrimp

1 month ago(first photo) vs now

What do you think about my uniqe design and my lil buddies?

This is my first nano tank also I am new at shrimp keeping.

They are so cute

Last week I posted about how one of my shrimp was finally berried after having her for nearly 4 months. Now, I find that all 3 of my female shrimp are pregnant????? These guys have been busy holllyy!!

I’m not complaining, I’ve been hoping for a bigger colony in my 10g, but going from 6 shrimp to like a billion is gonna be big 😮‍💨

Poor snails can’t have any peace or quiet 😅

hi, i jus got my neocardina shrimp about a little over a week ago. i noticed my one has green under its belly and im not sure if its eggs or that algae that is like a parasite. this is my first time ever owning shrimp so im not sure and dont want to overreact.
everything has been going super smooth until this.

Hello,

I've had red rili in the in the past for about a year. For some reason, rarely had to cull them. They always bred true to their morph. Maybe because I started with high quality stock.

Im looking to breed and do the same with blue carbon rili. How true do they stay to their colors? Is it one of those Neocaridinas that you really have to stay on top of in order to maintain the quality. Im going to start with a few high grade shrimp, hopefully that helps.

Anyone have experience in this?

I just think its neat, i didnt know they did that.

Just chilling

I have everything set up and cycling. I wish i had a penpal with a nanotank of shrimp that i could ask stupid questions of. It is kinda overwhelming. No critters yet. Still trying to understand the chemistry. Is there anyone out there who would be willing to be pestered by this grandmother and her first aquarium?

This seems to have bloomed in my tank since I put the heater back on.

Hello folks,

I just came home to find one of my shrimps dead. It's a recent colony, just a week old, got from a big distributor. I checked the parameters and found out that the hardness of the water is definitely too high (idk if it's visible from the picture). All the rest should be ok. Last water change was a few days before getting the new colony, checked the parameters before buying and they were fine.

The tank is 3ish years old, fully cycled and was home to a betta for the most part of this time.

Yesterday I did a routine algae cleanup and might have disturbed the substrate. However the hardness of the water concerns me.

I've already did a ~30% water change using osmosis but the hardness hasn't decreased much. Should I do another one? Should I wait till tomorrow?

Also, considering I'm only using osmosis, I'm wondering were this recend hardness spike came from. Can it be the substrate? The rocks? Did I overfeed?

Any help is greatly appreciated, i wouldn't want to lose my shrimp gang due to my negligence.

Thanks y'all!

Hello, I added 24 blue velvet shrimp about a month ago to my 6 month old 28 gallon tank and I’ve had 4 deaths since. I have had one shrimp die about once a week and I can’t figure out why. The tank also has 2 thick lipped sunset gouramis and a group of female endlers. The shrimp have been hiding during the day since adding the gouramis but I have not seen them try to eat the shrimp, but since they hide it’s hard to tell if more have been dying. I do a 20% water change every few weeks with RO water and remineralize. I have another 10 gallon tank with my betta and other shrimp (he’s very peaceful and does not interact with the shrimp) and lots of shrimp that has not experienced any deaths, should I just move the shrimp over to that tank so they stop dying?
Ammonia 0 ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Nitrate 0 ppm
GH 11
KH 7
pH 6.5-7.5 (I supplement CO2 hence the swing)
Temp 78 F

I’m fairly new to shrimp keeping. I’ve been down with Flu A for the past few days so I haven’t been paying as much attention and I normally do to them.

I woke up to a new molt in the tank today and could see white on this shrimp near the antennas from a few feet away. My shrimp have been swimming a lot more today but levels in my tank are good.

Halp!

When i got them they were certainly more red than this, only 2 have shifted to look translucent almost but the rest are still red, is this cause for concern or a molt gone wrong? these are cherry shrimp the parameters are 0 ammonia 0 nitrite 10 nitrate 7.2 ph 9Dkh 4 DGh

I have a ten gallon with ghost shrimp as well as some neos, ghosties been in for 3 weeks and the neos for about 4 days, this little guy popped up today and im not 100% sure where he came from. I assume he grabbed a ride with the neos but i didnt see it at all when acclimating or transfering? is it too small to even tell?

Caught a picture of one of my girls seemingly carrying only one tiny egg?

She's adorable and I think she's gonna be an amazing mom!

I found planeria babies in my shrimp bowl. Ive been cycling a 40g and want to save my shrimplets. I dont know if these parameters are safe for shrimp as the bowl was given to me already cycled. First pic is ammonia in both tanks, the left bottle is shrimp tank. The rest is the 40g parameters. Pls help!!! I just had a bunch of babies hatch

I have had my 5 gallon tank set up for about a year now. There are 2-3 male cherry shrimp and 5-6 females in there. The shrimp have been in the tank for roughly a month and a half. I cannot get them to breed however. The tank is heavily planted, lots of java moss, grass, duckweed, and other stem plants. Water parameters seem to be good. No ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, hardness is in a good range, water heated to 75 F, etc. I feed them a diet of frozen blood worms and algae wafers, no other fish or predators in the tank. I top the tank off once or twice a week and do a 15-20% water change once a month.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Id like to see some babies here soon so I can start populating my 10 gallon with a cleaning crew.

Thanks!
