Hi everyone, i'm a big shrimp lover.. i currently have 2 tanks of cherry shrimp & a pitiful 8 yellow cherry shrimp & I'm desperate for more yellows :crushed:.

I am also breeding endlers, the original, chilli, golden & yellow tiger. I was a fish keeper years ago but have just gotten back into it 6 months ago. I Look forward to reading your posts :)

Welcome to the SKF team Lilly58, after breeding cherries you should try your skills on crystals. I have been thinking of keeping some endlers guppys but still unsure. It would be great if you could show us some of your fish especially the chilli and Golden yellow tigers. Your going to love keeping shrimps. Have fun on the forum and feel free to post any questions or just share your experience.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes.

I'm doing a bit of tank reorganising ATM but when I'm happy with the results(I'm a bit of a perfectionist) I'll get some pics up.

I'm also thinking of setting up a native shrimp tank. I have managed to get some Darwin Red Nose (SO cute), Darwin Algae Eaters& Chameleon Shrimp. I'm on the lookout for Zebra & Australian Amarno & native mosses & flora as well. Due to physical restrictions I can't head out into the wild to find them myself so I need to rely on the meber of different forums to help.

Cheers Lisa

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      Right now this tank only has blue bolts and golden bee (red bolts?).  The eggs start off all brown, but at the end, I notice that some are kind of a clear pink-ish color.  So I don't know if that is the egg color of dud or golden bee.  Picture of shrimp only about half hour before molting. The water is always RO + remineralizer, so it should be ok. The tank seems to still be on a "good streak" ever since I started the regimen of weekly water change, monthly gravel vac and plant trim.  The point being to keep the amount of waste low and removing moss / floating plants so that the nitrates go towards growing algae.  At one point, I had three berried females, but only netted about half dozen babies by the end, due to this early molting problem.  There might be about 30-40 shrimp total in 5 gallons, but still very few full-sized adults.
