I think this little guy is done for but if I can save her that would be awesome. I already removed her, she was easy to catch. Pretty lethargic so I don’t think she has a chance but any recommendations?
I saw my female with a unique egg 3 days ago. So I think it's her baby. Look at that tiny litle thing
They look darker under aquarium light.
I want my lights on for 8 totals hours each day. Are the neocaridina and the plants ok with having that as two 4-hour periods in a day or does it have to be one 8-hour period?
Have all things planned out, one waterfall on big root with different mosses, moss on three walls on some fiber cloth (shrimp/water safe) and moss balls for the white ground and one plant. It's 12 liters, but I already have a 20+ liter one in view (last pic, just need to get it).
Waterfall on big root, big root is a wet island, no contact to surrounding, only water.
Pump with filter, gonna get nylon stocking and put it over it.
Don’t have a pic of the third girl but she is even more eggnant than these two (Laura is the first image and etheldred is the second)
I couldn’t find the no planaria or dog dewormer for anything less than 70$ which sucks so im going to ask my local fish store if they have any they’d sell me just the doses I need.
If I can’t get it in time how may of my shrimplets will die? Like 60% 80%? My hydra are green so I’m hoping they’re full from photosynthesis and not hungry for babies
HE CANT BE SERIOUS 😂😂 His greed knows no bounds!!! HAHAHA
The flow is strong enough btw don't worry! He was just craving the ascension into the source of his yummies. He flopped right back into the Tank when i tapped on the lid LOL.
This is hilarious
the tank is about 13 gallons with a shrimp colony, are 2 niritina snails enough or do I need more? I wanna overfeed a bit to get a lot of eggnant shrimps but I dont know if its enough so seeking help from fellow shrimp/snailkeepers.
I'm 99% sure she's carrying eggs (they look round and not feathery). It's been hard to get a decent picture of video
First time keeping Caridina. I can't stop watching them.
I've been cycling this tank (30l = 8gal) for 1.5 weeks now, obviously I'll cycle it for about 4 more. Hopefully the plants will grow a lot in this time! Anyway, I obviously want shrimp (Neocaridina) in the tank. What do you think? Anything I should add or do differently? The plants are Utricularia graminifolia, Riccia fluitans, Bucephalandra sp. "Needle Leaf", Rotala rotundifolia "Blood Red" and "H'ra", Phyllantus fluitans and Salvinia. The filter is a super small sponge filter, but I think that will be enough for shrimps.:)
I have several that have a dark line going down there back. What is it? What does it mean?

it’s about time for my tank to be fully cycled. how many amano shrimp can i add at first if i want to add guppies later on?
I need some good luck guys and any tips are much appreciated
They’re the little red dots and ignore my chili he’s nosy
Hello fellow Shrimppeeps!
We sadly had a resurgence of hateful or straight up violent posts and comments and I wanted to apologize. We want to make this space a welcome one for all our Shrimplovers without nastiness and us Mods try our hardest to react in time.

Let's keep it cozy! 🦐
These pictures are all from a month or two back, but I love my shrimp so much. I've had a shrimp tank for over a year now and so much has changed! I started out with blue shrimp, and yellow shrimp (all neocaridina), they bred and made a mix of brown/tan, yellow, and orange?! Then they started having babies of their own!
I've seen 2 eggnancies so far with this generation. It's so fun to see what different colors they turn into as they grow! I love to see that these, now mature, yellow shrimp have gotten their mother's racing stripe/I believe they're called golden backs in the shrimp breeding space? It's just such a cool pattern! I'm starting to see some racing stripes appear on their babies as well which is so exciting!!! They keep passing it down, I love these guys so much.
I also love how they seem to be different shades of whatever color they are, no shrimp looks the exact same, it's so neat. I just love watching them.
Also a little personal, but I struggle with fatigue everyday, and mental health some days, so not having to feed these guys a lot has been super. However, I do really enjoy blanching vegetables and watching them feast together, I should probably drop an algae wafer and a veg in today since I haven't fed them in a while!
