Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, just wanted to show you guys a video of my shrimps I recent bought. :) I have a group of 12 shrimps and the ratio is 3 males, 9 females, and a lot of babies hidden somewhere :D Here's a video of them:

Finally after so much readings into shrimpy thing, i decided to start one. went to my local aquatic pet store and talked to the owner of what kind of tank i wanted.this is the initial setup that we came up with. the drift wood will be eventually tied with moss, on the top middle perhaps some stem plants, and the bottom right some carpet plant.so we used amazonia as first layer, then scattered some bacterial powder on it, and top it off with another layer of amazonia. poured some purify on top of it. and let it dry cycle for 3 days.stones and driftwood to be put in after 3 days.so back at home, a day before putting in the stones and driftwood, i washed them and soaked them in water for a day.this is what it looks like after water had been put in. i made a little adjustment on the stones placement. now the waiting game begins. 21 days of cycle before i tie the moss on the drift wood and putting some carpet plant, probably fissiden fontanus. lights will be around 6 hours per day.

I ship worldwide, if there is something you need I can provide it to you directly :) shoot me a PM or for faster service send me an email at [email protected]

Hi Chaz, That is awesome, no wonder it had such a good result in the hot water test I did before putting it into the tank. I checked out your website- awesome products Chaz- I really like the feeding shelf and the AmaNO!- we have a native Darwin algae shrimp here that hogs all the food and your solution will be ideal. Hopefully someone brings more of your products into Australia soon.

Here are some Macro shots of my DRNS, taken with an attachable lens from my iphone! Although I see plenty of berried females I am ever yet to see a baby survive to adulthood. Anyone have any tips?

My first thought were that you had seed shrimp but since that has been ruled out I am very curious about this bug lol

Blue velvet's are suppose to be that colour. If you want the navy blue cherries they are called Blue Dreams. Well in Australia anyway not sure what they call them in Malaysia.

@eternalc what kind of shrimp are you putting in there? Just remember ada amazonia substrate cycles twice, so you can get spikes even after you think the tank has cycled.
