he had alot of discolouration which i noticed 2 hours ago and half an hour ago i saw him get undressed ;) first time i se ashrimp do it in action. Next time, you should avert your eyes and give him some privacy. :P :wink: How's he getting along now? Hope he's settling in nicely. but my question is....

Sorry about carency. I meant deficiency. You think you speak english and then you don't. You speak English very well! Especially if considering it's not your native tongue. English was not my first language, but have spoken it since childhood and can no longer speak another. Language is definitely ...

Hi Raptor83, welcome to the forum. :) Something that concerns me though is how new your tank is - it sounds like you are saying the Bamboo shrimp were in the tank after only two weeks after it was set up? Also there is the addition of 12 other inhabitants and so, I am wondering if your tank is cycle...

Hi Constantine, just read the label and make sure your anti-chlorinator says it removes chloramines too. To answer your other question from another site, yes, chloramine is deadly to shrimp, so people who live in an area where chloramine is added to the tap water, an an anti-chlorinator that states ...

Hi Marc, welcome aboard! :) Thanks for your contribution - may I ask what "carency" means? :oops: I can't find it in my dictionary. As for the tap water, yes, I do have to use water conditioner to rid of chlorine/chloramines. That's very cool you have some wild caught fish there. I was ver...

So how are the little guys doing now? The PH adjustment might have saved them or they might actually have been affected too much so that even adjusting the PH might not have helped. But the next batch of shrimp should do much better. I only see 2 little guys left as of this morning, so I lost one m...

Hi Beviking, if your question is a straightforward "what is the variability," I would say there is a reasonable amount of variability between offsprings; at least that is what it states in the Shrimp Varieties page for Crystal Reds. Having said that, if what you are trying to ask is how to...

They had 250 cherries there and either they had some very colorful males or they were all female. :( She was also the only one that I was able to see that was caring eggs. Hey TKD, with the additional info you just gave, unfortunately, things don't look as bright as before in that I recall threads ...

i have read that page but found little help on it :? You just happen to be focused on the "how to's" at the moment, but having basic info about any shrimp you're dealing with goes a long way in both the appreciation and care of them in the long run. :) And sometimes, when we're embarking ...

Hi TKD, it's impossible to say because it depends on both the shrimp herself and what she's gone through. As for the shrimp, we don't know what shape she was in prior to shipping. Also, shrimps are individuals, some are stronger than others. As for the stresses, we don't know how many changes and to...

I have no idea how long females will hold their eggs in teh swimertetes before dropping them due to unfertilization. My observation so far with unfertilized RCS eggs is that they can drop them right away (within that day) or hold them much longer. I had a female holding as long as 4 days. On that f...

The LFS is sexing by color, they think the lighter, especially white shrimps are female and the darker are male. These guys are about 2 inches. Any ideas on sexing? Or sites to go to? As far as I know, sexing of Vampires is done the same as with Bamboo shrimp. In mature males, the first pair of wal...

She has dropped all the eggs :( Then the waiting starts again. Bo - *sigh, very disappointing; hope you won't have too long to wait. Arghhh ... wimper - I just lost another shrimplet today. :( I thought their being over a month old would help but no such luck. Mustafa, thank you sooo much for the t...

There was a similar thread just a while ago, here it is: http://www.petshrimp.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?t=1165 If you haven't already, checking this should also help: http://www.petshrimp.com/crystalredshrimp.html I've never bred Crystal Reds so please bear with me here - 1.) They do best in sof...

It's not all that easy to be your own webmaster, forum administrator, accountant, scientific advisor, photographer, article writer, breeder, packager, shipper etc. all in one. :) :wink: But I am trying my best to keep things updated. Hats - where to put them all - sounds like you need an ultra-huge...
