Does anyone know if there are any articles regarding the evolution of these different types of juvenile development... I imagine that the fossil record for larva ia nonexistent....But maybe there’s some genetic cladograms out there.... Does anyone know of any strictly freshwater species that still h...

It looks as if there are shrimp in that tank with your Cajun Crays....what type are they?.... I seperated my shrimp and Cajuns (just in case the crays harrassed the shrimp at all and when I get larger populations of both I hoped to mix them in another tank)....Im still waiting and hoping that both m...

wow those Orange ones are beautiful...

You could also use pantyhose! Works great and you don't have a big foam block lol. good luck with whatever ya choose! Cover your intakes no matter what IMO :) Yeah I use a pantyhose over my intake....every three days or so the pantyhose seems to get blocked up with debrie and it restricts flow....b...

Yeah I would like to know too....because I have a bunch of snails with my Shrimp....but I have no idea of the species of shrimp ....really little guys though....

Keep watching. I see the symptoms of a shimp-a-holic. :lol: Yeah my 29 Gallon Tank(which has my shrimp in it) is at the head of my Bed....so I can lay there watching :shock: ... Almost everytime I come in my room I do a count...usually I average like 8 or nine.....sometimes only 5....but there shou...

Order a minimum order from Mustafa and ask him to be sure to include a couple of males just to be sure. LFS will have nearly 100% females unless they get them form local breeders. The red ones sell, the pale ones don't, unless you are someone in the know. Sex ratio in tank bred shrimp are about 50-...

They are eggs developing in their ovaries. That shrimp is a female. And for future references, please do a "Search" for your questions before you post them on here as this have been asked quiet a few times already. Thank you. I did do a search before I posted.... Just the way I was lookin...

This is the best picture I could take..... This is one of the "cherry shrimp" that I bought from a local pet store.... http://myspace-553.vo.llnwd.net/00730/35/57/730657553_l.jpg In all the pictures of Red Cherry shrimp that ive seen none seem to have this yellowness in their stomach.... I...

Every once in a while when Im wheeling away from my computer and I slide past my 29 gallon shrimp tank... I see one of the larger shrimp in a primo spot for a picture.... I hurry to get my digital camera.... I snap picture after picture....Usually the flash ruins the picture..... Then I turn the fla...

I think since they have a normal life larvae go through several planktonic stages before metamorphosing into post-larvae (miniature shrimp) and assuming a benthic lifestyle. For this process they need brackish water to full strength saltwater. So I imagine this means that if you want to breed them y...

I'm not saying hair algae will hurt them, it is just the things that lead to hair algae tend to be things harmful to shrimp. If you have not been doing routine weekly water changes, you need to start right away. Im definitely going to start....But I wanted to wait for the shrimp to be settled in th...

Here is what I do. Get a big spring water bottle, I think it is Poland Springs, the one with the ribs, and cut the top off at the 1st rib. On the bottle cut some verticle slits to the next rib. Find something to poke a bunch of small holes in the base to let water in & out (or the guppies will ...

Yes, those are red cherry shrimp alright. I see you have some hair algae. Do you do regular water changes? Shrimp are a lot more sensitive to nitrates and phosphates and other stuff than fish. A 10%-20% water change per week is the minimum. Good luck with them! They are a bit less than a cm long......

They were advertised as Red Cherry Shrimp.... I bought four cause they were too expensive to buy more.... I should be getting my new shrimp soon and I figured if these were the same it would be good to have additional genetic material to mix up with the offspring.... Sorry for teh poor pictures this...
