I love going to auctions. I've observed that plants, shrinp, and plecos always sell well. So I thought I would investigate them because of that. I'd like to start to make a little of my expenses back. The bag of shrimp I won was basically Fish food quality, mostly clear with a little tiger. After a 6 months of culling I have some red ones and dark ones and almost a little blue ones. It's interesting to see how the colors were bred into the shrinps.

End of day 1 !! A lot of backwards and forwards, of course we changed the design (even though the steel was cut and delivered) but I am pretty happy with how it is going so far.

Yep. I've started shrimp keeping back in 2012. Only ran that for about a year. Then stop. Now I'm coming back. Not sure why but so far I'm loving.

Hello everyone! My primary reason I looked for a shrimp forum was because I'm having an issue with scuds! I paid for this pain in the ass problem, did it to myself. A few years back I was sold scuds as something that would be good for my tank and give my fish some live food. I had no problems with them until I set up my shrimp tank with no predators. Now they are over populating in my shrimp tank with no predation. They are eating plants have actually killed some, and they are killing shrimp I'm convinced, as my shrimp population has stopped growing. I NEED A NUCLEAR OPTION! I don't need any advice to feed less or get some fish that will keep them at bay. Anything that'll eat is scud will eat a baby shrimp. I want them gone! There has got to be something like "panacur c" that will kill all snails and not kill plants but insread kills scuds! I've just set up 5 new soon to be shrimp tanks and the first one I did already managed to get infected with scud before there is even shrinp in it! I'm so frustrated! 3 weeks ago I spent 10 hours fishing my shrimp out of their tank then fishing any scuds that got accidentally captured out then catching the shrimp again and putting them in a new clean tank. Found a scud two days ago! I've spent hours looking for information on the Web to no avail. Short of destroying everything and starting from scratch I'm clueless what to do I'm not anal enough about tank cleanliness to not eventually contaminate all my new shrimp tanks. DOES ANYBODY HAVE A NUCLEAR OPTION FOR ME?!! I need some meds or something that kills scuds and not plants. I've got thousands of dollars in plants!

I don't think Fish will ever clear them. They hang out in the nooks and crannies, fish keep them at a low population, remove fish and problem starts to build again. I don't have shrimp in the tanks most of them anyway. And honestly at this point if it killed all the scuds (gammarus shrimp) I would be willing to lose all the shrimps I have at this time. I'm getting ready to get some quality shrimps and I'm so tired of these scuds I'll do just about anything. My problem is I've got so much plant value that I need the nuke to kill them. Do you know a treatment that will whipe out shrimp and not plants? Scuds are super tough unfortunately think they can handle more than shrimp. But I'll dose high and see if it works. Scuds kill the shrimp when they molt. As far as moving shrimp. Doesn't work. I spent 10 hours moving the shrimp out of bad tank. Moved them into an empty 10 gallon fished out any scuds that made it, then moved them again into there new clean home. 3 weeks later scuds. The baby's are so small you can't see them. Not a swarm but you find a few and in 6 or 10 months is back to scud hell. These things are like cockroaches. I need some RAID!

Don't need to know why. As long as you are enjoying it. ?
