Furbs Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Shrimp keepers! Looking around there did not seem to be one central thread to show off your shrimp, tell us stories, or collect general knowledge. So show us your shrimp, share what’s happening in their day to day busy life. I found my red rili ladies sharing a crushed pond snail. It was so cute watching them for about 15 minutes. my Amano shrimp having no interest in the green been offering I left 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I call my shrimp Tiny Terrorists. They clean every one and everything in the tank much to the displeasure of most of my other inhabitants. When I watch them I often think of the National Geographic shows that are played in super fast speed. You see insects demolish an entire animal carcass to bones in a few seconds. That describes my shrimp perfectly. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xaos Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 One of my newest arrivals is settling in nicely and snacking on the sponge filter: While my first baby shrimp (ready to leave the breeder) is hanging out with a soon-to-be mama! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furbs Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Quick routine cleaning of the heater this morning. I have three of these really large Amano shrimp. They’re kinda creepy when they’re next to the rili shrimp just because of how much bigger they are 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettsPapa Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 About half the adult population of my new line back yellow shrimp tank, grazing on a cottonwood leaf a couple of hours after I put it in the tank (it was still just barely below the surface of the water). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crayfish don't seem to pay much attention to anyone in their tank though. I had pom pom crabs with them for a bit and the crayfish were terrified of them. One time I did see a crayfish and a Bolivian ram get into a short tussle, but neither was injured badly. I think you probably could keep them with shrimp in a large tank. The crayfish can't swim very accurately, they just kinda jut backwards randomly, so they couldn't catch shrimp unless the shrimp went up to them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I started keeping blue dreams.

These are my Taia naticoides piano snails. The journal is in my signature I was thinking the other day Nibbles looks like my white Wizard Filopaludina martensi. Dark snoot and creamy foot journal also in my signature. Edited March 16 by Guppysnail 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally lucked into these guys. We only have rabbits, faunus ater, gold/blue mysterys, nerites and spixi snails here. Other than "pest" ones of course. Oh, and a snail that they call "miniature nerite(Theodoxus anatolicus)" which can reproduce in freshwater! They only live in Turkey and Cyprus if I'm not wrong. I feel like snails are very underrated here, sadly. We have access to so many fish but snails, not so much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let it age for the week and set at room temp. Then do the water change and use that water to refill. Then refill the jug and let it season for the week until the next water change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
