I usually have a bare tank to breed shrimp. I am setting up a tank for CRS and I know the importance ...

well I have already put about 10 drops in to the tank already and it has started to cycle.. Too late :( but there is no shrimp or fish in it so my plan is to stop using the drops. I have since put a peice of salmon skin in there(somthing I had in the frezer) to continue the process and when the tank...

I hear it is illegal to collect and sell direct from nature now... and even if so you have to have a licence to export them. Thats why they are so hard to get.

I am suprised she even had any babies since the you have only had them a couple of weeks. 81 degrees F is kind of too hot . 76-78 should be more comfortable. If the tank is new Not established with micro food for the babies they are probably not getting enough to eat. This is only SOME of the proble...

I went to buy some rocks at the local Pet store this week and just finished setting up the Opae ula tank. It is running and looking good. I have done a lot of research but I still feel very unsure what is the correct way to make these shrimp happy.

Sorry to hear that but that is what happens when we keep fish with the shrimp

Yea baby shrimp is the perfect food for fish fry. It is a sacrifice but to me it is worth keeping my shrimpies separate and safe
