New Orange Rilis and one mama is already berried!

Hello, I have discovered one or two of these ‘little green shrimp’ to appear in my aquarium. Perhaps they somehow hitched a ride on a plant or something. They are tiny very fast little zippy rolly Polly things with kind of a C-shape to them always seeming to be digging around. Anybody have any idea what they are called? They’ve been around a few months but no population explosion. Should I be concerned in any way.

Just an idea - maybe scuds?

I’ve been following this thread vaguely for a bit, but had to come in when I saw you got some orange rillis! One of my favourite shrimp, I have plans to purchase some should I get another tank as well :) (argh mts strikes again). Yours look really nice, very good colour and distinct bands. So good to hear one is berried too. Tank looks fantastic by the way, shrimp suit it well (and vice versa), and you’ve set it all up very cleanly. Good luck with this venture! Crabs

Hi I'm new I have 2 tanks I'm currently trying to get up and running with shrimp and few fish I have a 2.5 and a 5 gallon my main concern right now is my 5g I have a betta 4 tetra and two albino Cory's and 4 ghost shrimp two of wich have eggs I had two more found them dead other morning I've been battling high ph and ammonia every for or five day doing 50% water changes every few day about 2 gallons has kept from anymore deaths my wife came home with these guys and I'm trying to get them in a functioning home I think I need a better filter system than what came with this 5 gallon setup basic waterfall type please help

It is clearly working well and the tank looks quite natural, hopefully those babies just keep on coming to boost the numbers even more. Simon

I'm glad things are working out for you.
