Crabby needs some shrimpy sharing time ? So when I started shrimp keeping I did months of research, and as such I felt that the research was just as good as hands on experience, so I went straight into the deep end with caridina shrimp. Surprisingly, I've done alright with them, so I thought it was time to give neos a go. Doing it in reverse here ? On saturday, I bought myself a batch of 15 high quality blue dream juvies! I'm absolutely loving them, and I'll post some pics I got last night in the gallery. I've seen a moult from one of them, which is a great sign that they're healthy, and they've been relatively active. Still only seen 7 out of the 15 at once, but oh well, they're shrimp ? Also got a pic of what looked like shrimp sex... is that prawnography? -Crabby

Endlers can decimate a population of seed shrimp in a small tank, and are quite lovely fish that aren't hard to come by, and will be safe with shrimp. From my personal experience at least.

Nothing wrong with that method. Many experienced shrimp keepers to that.

Sorry to hear one SAE died. Did you forget to dechlorinate the water or something? SAEs are tough otherwise. But good to hear that the other one actually eats BBA.

I put fish, dwarf rasbora and a killie into my tank and they cleared the tank of seed shrimps within a day! Baby shrimp would also be at risk of being eaten by most fish as well of course. Simon

Those blue shrimp have a wonderful colour and contrast/compliment nicely with the tangering tigers! Some will probably be hiding away somewhere until they get used to their new environment? Simon

Ok got the rodi water system hooked up flushed out and I’m trying to get the proper gh and tds for my cardinia tank in a 5 gallon jug. its tough either I’m too high on both or too low.... only adding less then half a measuring cup for 5 gallons of rodi water that has 000 tds

No, that's not necessary at all for either caridina or neo shrimp. It will help with moults, but it isn't necessary. I keep neocaridina and caridina absolutely fine without anything of the sort, and I get plenty of moults and breeding. You just need to make sure that there is the right amount of GH and KH in the water, and you'll do fine.

It this stuff necessary also in either neo it the cardinia tank?

Definitely dechlorinated, but the water went really cloudy, so the water change seemingly triggered something strange with the water.

Simon is right. When I first viewed the video, it was on a small galaxy tab. But upon seeing the video again on a larger screen, it is indeed Seed shrimp as Simon pointed out. Unfortunately, Planaria zero wont kill seed shrimp. And anything that does will also kill shrimp. The only way is to siphon them out at every water change. Or you get a small nano fish.

All I can see is what looks like a lot of seed shrimps???? Maybe I am looking at th wrong thing! Simon

as soon as I see eggs on a shrimp I put in the mesh breeder. Then I take the shrimp out when the eggs are gone and I see more newborns swimming. Am I doing this wrong? i know I should not have guppies in the tank but I can’t change that as of now.... Eagerly awaiting the ro system tomorrow
