Hi

thanks for the add.

Am new to shrimp keeping and need to learn lots! So after this post please excuse me if I spend my time reading furiously at every opportunity trying to get up to speed on stuff I need to know.

Bought a tank in January of this year 54ltr and thought hmmmm don't really want fish .... and the shrimp bug hit. So now have a tank full of all sorts of shrimp and they are in the vast majority berried at the moment. Have a sneaky feeling may have to get another tank ready for population explosion!

I don't really have a clue as to what they are called colour wise so forgive me for my lack of name / species knowledge.

Paranoid about water parameters use RO with added minerals for my water changes. More things to test the water with than a crazy chemist seem to spend the majority of my time worrying about ammonia, ph, calcium levels and terrified in case any of the live plants have been treated with copper ... very unlikely with the snail issues I have.

So in my tank at the moment are some chocolate, cherry, crystal and an amano plus some blacks and a variety of different blues.

Thank you Cesar

have sat here jumping from topic to topic trying to get up to speed think i have a loooooong way to go!

am ashamed to say I have a variety of shrimp dudes in my tank and have zero idea as to their specific species or cross species think that has to be on my hit list for today. The cherry, amano and the crystals in my tank I know but some of the others ...... well ...... hmmmm ....... Been looking in the gallery to see but everything seems to be in their scientific (latin) classification name so figuring out who is who is a tad hit and miss. More like a new kind of guessing game ...... not sure its going to be a best seller though ha ha ha!
