I have used Flubenol and Metronidazole in tanks with shrimp and it seems to do no harm. I heard that Levamisole is safe to shrimp, however, I have not checked this myself.

But in case of worms, Metronidazole is useless.

Happy birthday to you Petshrimp

Oooops, sorry ;(
Won't do it again, I promise.

After you get settled in to your new location. PM me and I can see about setting you up with a pair.

You are an ANGEL
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'll get in touch as soon as I'll settle in the US.

People are good

I'll be in Chicago. I've been to Chicago last December and visited a few pet stores specializing in aquaristics. Except for some Amano shrimp and Atyopsis moluccensis - nothing :( Anyway, I always look at the bright side of life ;) Not being able to take some shrimp with me is not a tragedy, althoug...

Guess I won't bring any shrimp with me to the US for technical reasons - the guy that was to set-up a few tanks for them won't be able to do it, he is going on vacation. I'm mad

Mustafa, looks like you'll have a large order soon

Jackie - what are Terminalia catappa leaves? From a land plant, I assume? What exactly do they do? Terminalia catappa is called Tropical Almond, Indian Almond, Sea Almond. Has strong antibacterial properties, lowers the pH and gives water a nice, yellow-brownish color. I used it once to get rid of ...

Remove all the cyanobacteria you can by hand. Do large partial water changes for a couple of days, cleaning the gravel each time. In the meantime don't feed anthing in the tank. Try to get some Terminalia catappa leaves - they work really great.

Thanks tapmxt1

BTW - I found this site:

Maybe someone else might be interested. Looks like I'll have to contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before I leave Poland.

I have been breeding shrimp for years and I have never had any sudden, mysterious breaks in reproduction. If there were breaks, it was because of food or water issues. Older shrimp breed less often than young ones. At least, that is what we observed. However, I would not make a big fuss about this....

Thanks all for the valuable info, I'll start arranging things, maybe it won't be so difficult

I know this was mentioned in a different topic, but my problem is how to LEGALLY bring shrimp from Europe to the USA. I'm moving to the States and want to take some (OK, let's say A LOT ;) ) shrimp with me. I can arrange for a vet's certificate. Has anyone did this before? Smuggling is not for me, I...

If they suddenly stop breeding you can try to "give them a push" by lowering the temperature to 15-16 C. After a few days slowly bring the temperature back to normal and make a partial water change. Sometimes this helps - checked

Red Claw CAN hunt for other small shrimp if really hungry - at least mine did. I fed my Red Claws with algae-eating shrimp. However, as Mustafa mentioned, they never attacked the babies. Maybe they don't hunt for anything too small to fill up their bellies? ;) They can eat their own babies, probably...
