I have and interesting problem. I have pearl blues in there own tank for about 6 month now and I'm starting to see shrimp that look very similar to snowball shrimp. Even going as far has having white eggs compared to the brown of the normal pearl blues. There are less then shrimp total in that tank ...

I had the same problem... but my crystals are doing great!

Nice. I'm kinda leering about excel though. I have had problems with it in the past with fish.

Well I finally have some yellow shrimp, the cousin of the cherries, snowballs and blue pearls.
Now you may have notices the other have catchy names... why not the yellow one?
Should we be calling them lemon or banana shrimp? Or other?

They were in the same water, solft, as the crystals and they all died... two sets. I'm now tring to see if adding a bit of calcium in the water will help.
I will be getting a new group in a few weeks.

I won't be able to compare properly now as I added a bit of crushed coral to each tank to see if would work.
The greens are breeding with it noe and no change with the bees and bumblem bees,

I vary the amount of food that I give them depending on how many shrimp are there.
I had the same problem with green shrimp as well, I'm doen to three addults but have 5 babies now.
I have added a bit of crushed coral so we will se if that makes a difference in the long term.

Hi everyone, I have an interesting problem. I have Crystal reds, bee and tiger shrimp in tanks all side by side. The tanks are identical in everyway, same plants, filter, gravel and temp. The crystal reds have been breedling like crazy, The brees are breeding buy the young are dieing after a few day...

Try Assain Snails

Oh ya, just as mutch as the pond snails...
I'm not sure, but there seem to be less of them when I put an assasin snail in the same tank, so they seem to eat them as well.

I think the rocks were bad

I have thoes "dots" too. They are fresh water limpets.

She says that one is berried as well so we shall see how the babies turn out.

My friend go these shrimp from Seattle and I have no clue as to what they are.
They have not changed colour. I know that they are not Blue pearl Shrimp or Blue cherry shrimp.
