I am completely obsessed with my shrimp and snail tank! I had fish tanks for years, but this is definitely the tank for me! I can’t quit watching them. :)

I’m so proud of my little community! I feel so rewarded to see them thriving!

New shrimp/snail Mommy here! I was so worried about getting everything correct for my shrimp. I cycled my tank for months and used a sponge filter from an established tank to get them started. Yesterday, we went to a LFS about an hour away after a horrible day. I was only expecting to get a few more plants and maybe a snail for my tank because I haven’t found shrimp in my area. I was planning on ordering them, but I found these adorable little guys and ai love them! I know people say not to mix colors, but I’m okay with clear babies. I was sold these as cherry shrimp, but are they still cherry shrimp if they are blue and yellow? I bought 10 to start with and they are all doing great!

Is the little guy on the rock a good guy or a bad guy? I have been patiently cycling my tank so that I can have shrimp! I have good green algae and have been watching for microorganisms to show up. My api test kit should arrive in a few days so I can check water parameters.

Hi everyone! It’s been at least 10 years since I have owned fish. I’m a reptile Mama🙂 I got this 10 gallon tank and lights only to rehab a SST that had his shell eaten by a RES. He healed up beautifully, and has now been returned to the wild.🥰 Now I have this tank with 3 minnows that were not eaten, so I just stuck some struggling plants that my Mama gave me in there. I was wanting some shrimp. Is that possible? I’ve never had shrimp. I need all the advice.🙂

Found this big boy in my Amaryllis bed today! Looked it up and it’s a Rosey wolf snail also known as a cannibal snail.
