me too!

I am really interested in the progress you make with these little guys. I watch this and a thread in the super shrimp area to see others' experience with the dwarf crabs in both filtered and unfiltered tanks. I had bad luck with unfiltered, but my tank size may have been too small to support them p...

Everyone knows steak is better with shrimp!

Do the Algae balls from Mustafa separate on their own into new balls? The reason I ask is that mine has already grown considerably and I noticed it has a gap in the middle. Actually, if I was to split it along this little gap, it would result in two pieces. One piece would be 2/3 of the ball, about ...

IMHO, Take it all out, the clump of algae and the worm. Go to Mustafas Petsrimp Store (Petshrimp Store link above) and buy macro algae. It's much better than any hair algae out there. If you read any posts he has written on the subject, Hair algae isn't recommended for Supershrimp because it's too d...

So, my 5.5 dwarf crab tank finally cycled through and I now have two Hawaiian Left Handed Dwarf Hermits sp. Calcinus laevimanus and one crab which I believe is sp. Calcinus seurati also known as Dwarf Zebra Hermit. I think they are both Calcinus species. It's hard to tell as they are really small, b...

Welcome to the shrimp world, MiniShrimps! Thanks! I'm enjoying the shrimp world so far. Thanks for providing the knowledge, and the shrimp, and the macroalgae, and the algae ball, and the snails... So, an update. I just off loaded two Hawaiian Left Handed Dwarf Hermits and two horned Nerites from m...

Great Thanks! Good to know they can go back and forth. I ended up getting 5 freshwater zebra horned nerites and slowly acclimated them as above. They are currently, in my 2.5 gallon and have cleaned the glass spotless! They have moved onto the corals and substrate. They are way more voracious then t...

Here is the Nerite photo...

Nice Pics, I have a few crabs now and a couple seem to be the hairy leg and a couple seem to be the left handed variety... They definitely have different personalities but seem to be friendly with each other so far... I'll post some pics here once it's all up and going. I'll also try and keep this t...

Here are a couple more pics. First one is of the other two crabs...
Another of that shrimp... I had a sweet pic of the two horned Nerites, but I can't find it...

Nice pics and lovely hermit. What's that bright, rounded object in the last two pics? That's actually two hermits, those are the two small ones. Both of those shells are under 3mm. The white thing is an empty Pipipi nerite shell, it was previously inhabited by one of the other crabs, didn't suit hi...

Here are a few pics of some of my crabs and a shrimp...
oh, and i've seen two other molt sheds so far... that must be a good sign!

KenCotigirl wrote:Very interesting color on that shrimp. Or lack of color. Are your shrimp from Mustafa? I have not kept good track but it seems a few people got unique shrimp color from him.

yep, from Mustafa, i actually just watched this shrimp molt on Friday night. Pretty cool to see...

Here's a pic of one of my shrimp!
