[Edit: Milalic, we ninja posted and I missed your question - I'll try to get to it next time.] I found Mustafa's instructions extremely helpful and self-explanatory but any questions are welcome. Before embarking on the project, I printed it out and read it several times to make sure I fully underst...

Instructions for using muriatic acid by Mustafa: "You should be able to find it at most hardware stores. Ask them for "Muriatic Acid." It costs about $3-$5 per gallon and comes at a 34% concentration. That should last you a decade or so if not more. You have to mix it about 1:2 with w...

Hi everyone, I'm finally able to update my Bumblebee situation. The reason for not doing so earlier is because in previous attempts at raising them, I was still having shrimplet losses all the way up to the 6-weeks-old mark. So I wanted to be fairly certain I was on the right track before posting. H...

I've done a search....read through loads of posts (and a couple of arguments :lol:) :lol: Last night I was watching my two tigers zipping around the tank and they seemed to find each other in mid swim and "bump chests"....this only happened once for a second and then they both swam away. ...

If the eggs show up after a molt, it is what YOU have in your water! Haha! That's what I was going to say :) . Congrats, Newjohn - those guys are just so cute, I love them. Sounds like it won't be too long before you'll have more! Great job with the photography - it's interesting to see the link be...

I think if one of us saw the shrimp in question in person and saw all the angles and knew its age, we'd be in a better position to judge whether the shrimp is a male or female. One shot of a shrimp in a limited angle with certain lighting can't help much (especially if still a juvenile), except for ...

I am wanting to put zebra danios in the tank but I want to find out if anyone tried it and how it turned out. <- I wouldn't want to wake up the next day and find out that zebra danio had went to town on my shrimps. Hi Shrimplets, I'm personally in favor of shrimp-only tanks, but since you asked if ...

sorry gunmetal, i meant that the colour of the females is quite intense so i am assuming that the moult that released the egg's may have been a few days ago? prehaps not? Hmmm, I'm wondering if perhaps you're referring to the fact that a shrimp can look a little milky before molting? At any rate, m...

I was checking my tank today and have seen a first for me , egg's not in the shrimp but beneath the tail on the swimmerettes (right term?) what i was hoping is that this only occurs with fertilised egg's i have never seen it before just the saddle and then gone Hi Fishgeek, congrats on your pregnan...

Hi Leilani, there's some possibility that it might be some sort of fungus. You might want to watch and see if it still grows back after a molt. I very rarely hear about fungus growing on shrimp, so not too much info on it. The only info I personally have read is that a product called CILLEX by Brust...

Hey Badflash, here's a link for you and anyone who needs it - a metric converter: http://convert.french-property.co.uk/

I only bring it up because 40L according to this site equals 10.56691 gal, and wasn't sure if that's what you meant .

Hi Opo, I'll save the congrats for when it becomes a more sure thing, but am happy for you that you are finally seeing eggs on the swimmerettes. :) Thumbs up on removing fish. No, you don't need to isolate the egg carrying female, she should be fine. And if/when the shrimplets are born, the RCS will...

*Bump Hey, look what I found, this is an interesting read, especially for newer folks who don't know what the status bar under their username means :-D . A very belated congrats to Shrimpoholic #1 - Bradimus, my "tardy" excuse is that I was only a twinkle in a shrimp's eye back when you be...

Hi Zapisto, welcome aboard! :) what is the grow rate of this shrimp ? and what is the incubation for the eggs ? i am trying to figure out out to sex the shrimp , i must doing something wrong , because beside the color i cannot see any diference :) :) Just a little more fine-tuning of info - the earl...

"OMG Donna, those pics are incredible!!!" :wink: Hope you won't mind, but here's the shrimp in question for discussion: http://dump.fibervault.com/Candy_Cane_251205.jpg The only issue I see is that there's a *chance your shrimp is actually a Bumblebee; perhaps Mustafa can give an opinion. ...
