Hi! May I ask why you made a brackish set-up when I firmly believe dream blue shrimp are freshwater shrimps??

Hello, Mustafa! After leaving the tank for a while, the other shrimp eventually ate him so yeah, he was dead. Anyway, the other three shrimp are doing really well!

ahah! Congratulations my friend, that shrimp is developing eggs!

hello! I am quite new to the supershrimp community, and I was hoping to get some help here :) I got an ecosphere for a late Christmas gift, and just found out how bad it was for these little guys.
