They sure are enjoying it. Mine still don't want any but with the new shrimp it might be worth a try again

The moment the banana entered the tank, they went crazy, even my babies.

What shrimp do you have Ineke?

I have fed mango twice now, the last time I had to pull it out when their poop was yellow and stuck out from their little backsides about half an inch. Didn't take long for that to happen, so I'm guessing shrimp have a very fast metabolism?

U know what, I fed my shrimp with banana already. It's really cool. I have to think again about these fruit...

Any idea?

Izzy I have Red Cherries that I started out with, then Yellows, Rillis ,Chocolates, CRS and CBS and Golden Bees I have only been into shrimp since just after Xmas when a guy I bought some plants from gave me 4 females now I have an explosion of shrimp. I must add however a good number have come from the very generous people of this forum and some I have purchased. I have 4 tanks at the moment with another with my name on it just have to get to the shop and buy it. don't quite know what direction I am heading but the chocolates and the rillis are my favourites but only just!

Izzy I should add my CBS, CRS except 1 SS and Yellows are all low grade or culls but to me they are just shrimp and I like them for what they are. All the ones that were given to me are the high grades ,the reds are mostly very red and they are what I have bred her myself from my original and second buy . I had to add that because it sounds like I'm a big breeder with all of those but mostly they are my motley crew as I call them!

Ninja - Mango, hmmm...I don;t think the wife would be too happy with me feeding them Mango hahaha. My daughter loves mango, maybe i can pick up the left over pieces on the floor. She is 3 lol.

Torface - Great photo and look at them go hehehe. The best part for me when feeding them banana, is that i could actually take close up photos of them because they are all in one spot (i suck at taking photos lol).

Ineke -WOW, you have quite a collection. I'm sure out of all those shrimps, there will be one that would love to munch on some bananas.

Banana in the tanks Red cherries are all over it, the Rilli tank has all the shrimp in a bit of a frenzy but haven't started on it yet, chocolates are showing interest but only one munching and the crystal tank no interest . will see what happens when it's been in a bit longer.

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now

      My lil emerald green. It's a lot harder taking macro shots with 15mm glass tanks.
