Oh, heck. I thought so...about the water. I was low on condtioned water, so I was filling jugs, adding conditioner, and then adding to the tank. I had to break down a betta spawn tank, my 30 long, my 5 gallon, 23 bowls, and the 10 with the inverts. There was a fire in my apartment this past Sunday m...

I guess it's time to get a new tank!!! LOL I do have a semi-transparent storage container that I can convert into a snail farm. I don't have any other tanks that I can put the snails into, and I am moving in about 4 months, so, I kind of need to save $$ for that. I am also needing to save $$ for a 2...

I just have a few questions and some things that I want to make sure that I am doing "right". If my questions, etc. that I post here have been asked elsewhere, then I apologize. I have about 22 red cherry shrimp in a 10 US gallon tank along with 5 ghost shrimp, ramshorn snails, pond snails...

I have about 22 red cherries in a ten gallon along with some snails that I keep for food for my dwarf puffer fish. I came across a snail food recipe that my cherries and ghost shrimp LOVE! The recipe includes baby food (or mashed and cooked adult food--canned), unflavored gelatin, calcium powder (li...

well, you tank is definately over stockeked. SAEs grow to 6" each. Otos to 2" each. So, you've got 32" of fish in a 15 gallon.

So, here's an update. Out of the 4 bamboo shrimp, two are completely cleared of the fungus before they molted, one is almost cleared after a molt (just a little bit left one the legs by the body), and the fourth one that had it the worst still has a little left on the body and legs, but no where nea...

I'd say ghost shrimp.

In all of my tanks, which all have shrimp of species or another, I use ACs. I fit the intake with an AC sponge (you can get one AC 20 sponge for $1.99 at PetSmart, cut it into 1/2 and you've got 2 sponges to use for an intake cover, and you can also get a pack of 3, which is also cheaper in the long...

What can I treat the shrimp with in the meantime? I would hate to lose them. *EDIT* I saw this in the crayfish section. This is IDENTICAL: http://www.petshrimp.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?t=1322 If it's exactly like what the crayfish and the crystal red had in that link then it usually means that...

Hey ARB glad you found your way over here :) Hey moose!!!!! I am already loving this site! It's so full of information and great facts! There is so much more to shrimp that I imagined! lol :-D Oh, and Styx joined last night just after I did. We were looking for red cherry shrimp, and I was looking ...

Welcome Anne, Do you have any pictures of the shrimp? From your description it sounds like a fungus infection. That usually occurs when there is a very high organic load and your shrimp's immune system is weakened. And, no, shrimp don't have a slime coat. Mustafa, I do not have pics. I am still stu...

Frist, hello everyone. I am new to the forum and new to shrimp. I have four bamboo shrimp. I was housing them tempararily in a 10 gallon tank until I could get my 30 gallon long set up and cycled. About a week ago, all 4 molted in the ten gallon. I was able to move them into the 30 gallon long today...
