Well, what are the water parameters (now)? Sometimes should be good and actually good, are two different things...

Thanks GB, though I've been through most of the threads already...freaked out when I found out my first shrimp was pregnant... :roll: I've been hovering over the fry like an overprotective mother. Anyway, I just got back from the pet store and sure enough, I have another pregnant shrimp. This one lo...

After buying my first shrimp I couldn't resist more (I'm sure many of you have experienced a similar phenomena...). So I decided to try out some ghosts. Well, I had a pregnant ghost whom I put in a 1 gal. She did okay there for a few days, and released her eggs (they already were showing eyes when I...

Amazing pictures :D I have 1 wood shrimp and just recently purchased a few ghost shrimp. So far the wood shrimp has molted once and he and the ghost shrimp had a lot of fun with it. He didn't seem to eat much of it, but climbed back up on his perch and started filtering almost right away. But the gh...

Don't worry, I kept him in the old tank until I had the new tank set up with filter and heater. I did temperature and pH checks before I introduced them to the new tank to make sure it wouldn't be changes in those areas. I used a conditioner to neutralize chlorine, chloramine, heavy metals etc. I've...

Okay. I just spent the better part of an evening setting up a new tank for the shrimp & betta. As I alluded to before, the best I can do is a 5 gallon-- dorm restrictions. But I figure that it's worth a shot and... (ta da) he's parked in an area with good water flow and filtering like mad. I'm q...

Thanks again. What's really confusing about his behavior is that he is not hiding from the light...he climbs on top of the thermometer, where he is only an inch or two away from the top of the tank where the light is. He has to scrunch up pretty tightly to fit up there (when I do a water change toda...

No, I think he understood : )

He didn't mean you were seeing the little critters that rotting food produces, he meant the shrimp were eating them-- and that's why they were all over the old food.

Thank you for your reply, I enjoyed reading it : ) He's still settling in, I think. I haven't seen him filter yet, but he has been having regular bowel movements-- which I like to think means he isn't too stressed out, I know fish sometimes get constipated when upset. It will be his 3rd day home fro...

Atyopsis moluccensis? (Bamboo shrimp, Asian Filter Shrimp) I made an impulse purchase (I know…I know…) and have since realized the dearth of shrimp information on the web (a google search found mostly recipies…) Aside from the petshrimp.com web site, I have been unable to find any detailed informati...
