if you have macro then place the camera lens against clean tank glass and it should have an easier time focusing through the glass if you leave some space it will tend to focus on reflections from the glass, spots on the glass, i find it best to take shots in a dark room with oly tank lights on andrew

fantastic thanks very much mustafa

very hard to find many let alone any of these shrimp over here

i have found a german site that prehaps exports to england , still having trouble understand the autotranslations though

and more importantly need to get 1 of the 2 i have to breed before i start trying others

same geek zapisto mustafa the parameter you put on seem a little open ended to me anyway, i am used to specific requirements from keeping the dwarf's it seems most of the bee varieties ie crs/bb and bee, also the tiger shrimp a big plus for these is they are benthenic?(live bearing- sorry the word e...

sorry to piggy back a question into this thread i too like zapisto have dwarf's and am interested in which shrimp species will be most suitable for soft waters at present i have cherry and bee i was looking at mostly bee relative ie crs etc are they any specific hardness/alkalinty levels that are to...

if the intake is round then adapting any sponge filter to fit over the intake shouldn't be hard the biggest problem with a fine intake filter sponge is that it blocks easily and will reduce flow through the whole system(you'll soon find that with the pntyhose you have used too) in my opinion the coa...

thanks mustafa i think i have 1
now for the fun

since i got my first 8 cherry's i have been searching for males the local fish shop had some very small 1-1.5 cm cherry's in recently i was hoping some experienced members would be able to aid me in learning to choose male shrimp i understand that they have less colour, though so do small shrimp and...

i know it is suggested that male shrimp will have less colour has anyone seen that because of this less colourful shrimp may be excluded so that only female shrimp are recieved? also can anyone shed some light on the stripe that runs down the back of cherry's is it of any signifigance i ask because ...

sorry mustafa , what is your vote on water, should i leave them? some are acting happily -eating foraging as i would expect or should i move them, i am not too sure how well shrimp cope with change like i said i wold be pretty happy moving fish with minimal acclimatisation aslong as it was to water ...

so prehaps i should move them
mustafa?

i know the propritor of the shop i purchased the shrimp from water from the tap there is very soft 2-3 Gh as they run a large aquatics outlet they cannot afford pH crashes and so add coral sand to the water on testing the bag water the fish came in(as i stated) it was hard water and the proprietor s...

i have just yesterday recieved 8 young bee shrimp of 1-1.5cm in size i had 2 options to house them in and choose a smaller tank that already has red cherry shrimp in as it was easy to see into and monitor there progress here this morning i have found 1 shrimp white and dead on the bottom of the tank...

i'm new too any maybe wrobg
here is my guess Neocaridina zhangjiajiensis

just based on eye colour and small dark spots on body

nice photography by the way

ph is notoriously hard to accurately measure in water that has little alkalinity even with electronic meter's a low kH would just make your pH reading unreliable i get r/o water that reads nil on EC readings (obviously not the same as kH) and has no reading for kH on esha test strips the pH meter re...
