I've just made myself a homemade food for the shrimps that they seem to love. The little buggers have completely swarmed the piece I threw in. Yes it's a bit of a teaser. More to come later. I'll share the ingredients.

They will die within a month.

Welcome to the forum. I believe there is plenty of information on this forum that help you learn about shrimp. Also lots of friendly members to help you. I hope you enjoy yourself here. We love pics of shrimp here too.

yeah I keep these guys at 6.8 to 7 ph. TDS was suppose to be 200 but a month ago I put some stuff in and it made it got up to 320 lol I have got it down to 260. Still a work in progress but they are finally looking happy again.

Yep, me My corys love shrimp food too. Thats if any make it down that far into the tank before the tetras, or killies get to them first.

dream grade? never heard of that one before... lol Yeah I have slowly doing a rescape on their tank but I haven't finish cause I end up shrimp staring too much. Once this is done I take some pictures of my favourites and make a tiger appreciation thread so other members can show their tigers.

dream grade lol man im so jelly OEBT are one of my faves youll need to do a thread on them in there section so you can spam us with pics

This does not look right. KH = Carbonate Hardness = Carbonate Alkalinity. If you have high alkaline level, which is carbonate for your case, you not should have pH 6.4. I think either your pH or KH test kit is not working. Did you measure these directly from your tap or tank water? If it is tap water, you should gas/ circulate it for a few days before you measure it.

Thanks Jamie very much appreciated, It has been one of my shrimpy dreams to have a section full of CRS and I am extremely happy I am getting there. I still have a long way before I get close you yourself and Ineke. Thanks for the inspiration! Have a little race with @wot_fan about getting to 100 first so fingers crossed I maybe in the lead...

Okay, rack 2.0 is getting close to being setup. New thread will begin!! Apologies for lapse of updates.

Yep they are like underwater monkeys

I made my first batch of this 2 days ago. I had some Kale powder and supergreens so I added a teaspoon of both as well. Within seconds of going into the tank the shrimp in every tank were all over it and it was gone in a few minutes. Thanks for sharing the information for the recipe and to any one who hasn't tried it, I can highly recommend it This shows how it draws the shrimp out.

OK, you asked for it, you got it...... Forgive the camera/skill.... Made a fresh batch using the same recipe I listed above. Only this time I pureed the dry ingredients in with the shrimp and 4oz of water (didnt have pulverize the bee pollen this way, it just disolved). Wound up with a thick syrup, about the consistency of chocolate syrup, this way. I then blended the cooked agar solution into it and spread it out on the cookie sheet. After the gel set, about 10 minutes, I scored it with the Onion Holder. Press down somewhat firm and it cuts about 90% and 100% through, but the scored pieces break easily once frozen. This was right after putting it in, the frenzy got more intense with each passing minute. The frenzy continues:

Finally managed to get pictures of the shrimp enjoying their new food...
