My shrimp like black worms more than blood worm or tubifex, but the annoying thing is that the dried worms float. I have recently bought Australian Black worm Sinking Pellets. I use this as a meaty protein supplement and have rated it as such. It is not a complete holistic shrimp food and it isn't marketed as such either. Highlights: sinks immediately relatively unadulterated product shrimp love them and feed on it immediately ( I am assuming that they love the taste as they eat at it for a while and they do not lose interest or toss it away). Shrimp taste- test panel: Tiger, CRS, TB, Natives, various Neos. the pellets are the perfect size for shrimp: a young adult shrimp is capable of holding a pellet. Low wastage. it is extremely affordable I cannot fault this product at all. Rating as a protein/meaty supplement: ?????/5 Shrimp Tails View full article

No way ?

i whole heartedly agree!

Thank you @Disciple, for the next review, I will be reviewing something from Germany....I thought it would be a refreshing change from most of the Japanese products ?

Well that sucks couldnt be resolv3d.

It's sad they don't get much love. They look really neat, especially when the room is dark and they're perching on plants under the light. I have only one but would love more if I get room/time to expand! Mine was from @inverted!

Firstly, welcome to SKF. The minnows and rummy might take an opportunity to nibble at the shrimp, but the amano won't so no need to worry about the amano at least. These questions are a bit more difficult to answer, as it is based on circumstances. As a general indication, any shrimp at 1cm or larger should be ok. It could take 3-4 months to get to that size. It's also difficult to predict is your minnows and rummys will leave the shrimp alone even if they are more than 1cm long. Some people have fish that never bother their shrimp. Some have fish that are real shrimp hunters. There is no guarantee that even a shrimp larger than 1cm will be safe. Fish don't swallow shrimp whole, unless it is a little shrimplet. They nibble at the legs and antenna of the shrimp until the shrimp dies. The betta is almost certainly a risk. Tetras can be a risk, and Rummys are certainly right up there, being big and bold. It can be done, but there are risks. Provide lots of hiding spots the fish can't get into. Provide lots of plants. Keep the fish regularly fed. That should help minimise some of the risks.

Changed a few things in the tank today... changed the filters to 2x aqua one sponge filters designed for 60 litre tank, bought a couple of small plants and added a small male and a small female bristlenose. Still need to buy a 3ft light to suit.. and make up a lid. Would acrylic or glass be better? I think I will get 1 maybe 2 more plants, and some mosses and that will be it for the plants. Add a few more hides and thats about it I think? Almost ready for some shrimp!

Kinda funny that most people in Germany don't like them anymore. Don't know why, but they are not popular. Also as far as I know, the smiley is the 'end station' according to patterns. I believe you cannot create other patterns from a Smiley group. When talking about smiley K14, this is what I have in mind:

They are called mosura SSS grade at Japan ten years ago.
