I can't believe I'm on the list. I'd better join in on the nonsense threads if I expect to stay there though :encouragement:

Good on you squiggle, I thought ineke would be #1 for sure

Rather then a accumulative post count, perhaps a monthly post count would recognised current active members. So at the commencement of each month, it all starts again. Unsure whether there's a function that shows "month posts" ?

+1 not really fair for the newcomers is it when some of us have a 3 thousand post head start!

maybe it can be like an 'appreciated member of the month' where people can opt others who helped them or gave advice instead of post counts because it may become a numbers game many people may start flaming threads just to increase count.

The most likely ones are 1 and 2 neither of them ever shut up LOL, I can imagine them at a party they both would be the life of the party.

Go hard guys and keep going

Its time for me to break the 1000

Whoa. I cant believe i made top ten :D stoked!

I'd be keen to see the updated list frequently :) But personally I dont think you should have prizes for this as it will just encourage people to post sh*t. Plus there is no way any of us will catch Ineke or Squiggle :)

I think there should be a member award with prizes but it should be chosen by the moderators (so as to not make it a popularity contest) and given to someone who has made a quality contribution over the month or quarter (thereby giving new members and those who are valuable members but don't get on here much a fighting chance). I also think that once you've won something like this, you cant win it again so it gives other people a fair chance.

Actually believe it or not I'm quite shy until I get to know someone then I can give as good as I get but otherwise I sit and observe quietly -yes Bob quietly:D

I have to agree with perhaps a monthly tally or quality threads. As much as I would love to win a contest we did talk a lot of rubbish at times and were just having a great time I probably was not contributing much I was always asking the questions:D

Lol I didn't mean it to be offensive! I'm as guilty as anyone else, but i just think a prize linked to post count would encourage everyone to post rubbish and reduce the quality of the threads on this forum... There's a difference between harmless banter and posting to clearly up your post count

Torface that wasn't for you I was paying Fishmosy back he was the one that thought I would be winning!!!!! I didn't take your statement or his as offensive in the least. I thought it was funny that Fishmosy was having a little funny go at me in the nicest way though- he generally is a bit quiet:cheerful:

      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?

      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.

      Alright, I've done a bit more research on gentian violet's cancer-causing potential but I haven't yet done research on malachite green's to compare. But from reading the California propositon 65 document about GV (North Americans incl. some Canadians will recognize this as the law that causes some products they buy to be labelled with "known to the state of California to cause cancer", including the exact product I bought) it seems that the risk of cancer is related to internal use, either injection or ingestion. Speaking of ingestion, I think GV bans mainly relate to its use in treating fish/shrimp/etc. which are intended for human consumption, because of the above. And in countries where GV isn't banned for this purpose, it does seem to get used on various species of shrimp without causing any issue for the shrimp themselves (at least enough so for shrimp farming purposes). See the following: In February, the FDA Began Rejecting Imported Shrimp for Gentian Violet and Chloramphenicol (2022 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) FDA Starts New Calendar Year by Refusing Antibiotic-Contaminated Shrimp from Three BAP-Certified Indian Processors and Adding a BAP-Certified Vietnamese Processor to Import Alert (2024 article by Southern Shrimp Alliance) Southern Shrimp Alliance and some other organizations have tons of other articles in this vein, but I'd be here for a while and would end up writing an absolutely massive post if I were to link every instance I found of articles mentioning shrimp shipments with gentian violet and/or leucogentian violet registering as contaminants. That being said, I know shrimp farmed for consumption and dwarf shrimp are often somewhat distantly related (in fact, the one time a shrimp's species name is listed that I can see, it's the prawn sp. Macrobrachium rosenbergii, who at best occupies the same infraorder as Neocaridina davidi but nothing nearer), but this at least gives a slightly better way of guessing whether it will be safe for aquarium dwarf shrimp or not than my bladder snail anecdote from the OP.

      I would hazard a guess that perhaps those eggs were unfertilized and thereby unviable? Did the eggs change colour, usually yellow to grey as the yolks used up, or any eyes in the eggs. Is your water ok, using RO remineralised and the parameters in range, as I have heard others say that if the water isn't good it can 'force' a molt? How is it going overall, do you have a good size colony in the tank, you may have reached 'maximum occupancy' as a tank can only support so many occupants.

      Hello folks,  The current problem I am having is that my Taiwan bee shrimp are molting before all their eggs have hatched.  Often the shrimp keep the eggs for 40+ days.  During that time, they lose about half or so, either due to dropping or duds or whatever.  Shortly before molting they look to have about a dozen left, and then they molt with about half a dozen eggs still on the shell.  Then the other shirmp will come and eat the shell.  These last few times, I have been getting around 0-3 surviving babies per batch.  I figure I can make the eggs hatch faster by raising the water temperature more (currently around 68F, which is already a few degrees higher than I used to keep it) or make the shrimp grow slower by feeding them less (protein).  Currently I feed Shrimp King complete every other day, and also a small dab of Shrimp Fit alternating days.  Maybe I can start alternating with more vegetable food like mulberry?  or just decrease the amount of food?
