Ghost shrimp

[LillianDouglas]

I wish I did .The oranges don't look to bad . And right now .I'm trying to decide which ones to get .And I'm trying to find out which plants that you can put in a 2.5 tank.If I find a pictures I'll send some okay.,Lilly

Can you tell me if the 'Oranges & purple are dyed. And what other colors are there.

are you asking about guppies or shrimp?

[LillianDouglas]

The ghost shrimp .,

[Baby_Girl]

Are you sure they're ghost shrimp? If they are indeed Palaemonetes sp., then they are injected with dye or fed dyed foods to obtain that color because glass/ghost shrimp are naturally clear in color.

There are orange shrimp, but they are in the Caridina genus I think. Do the ones you're talking about look like the ones in this thread? viewtopic.php?t=2807

[LillianDouglas]

Yes ,They did look like that. Do you know any thing about them.,Thanks Lilly

Yes ,They did look like that. Do you know any thing about them.

Not only is it a friend, but it's also one of the rules to search and research. Lillian, you're given a link to a thread (i.e. someone else is doing the research for you) and you don't even read what's in the thread. I have already suggested earlier to use the search function and perform research (lots of it..as in hours and hours, days and days...) before asking questions that have been answered many times before. So, consider this a warning....please follow the rules or appropriate measures will be taken.

that's a great attitude to have!

I just want to know if I got the filter for a ghost shrimp tank.Its a tetra canister filter.And how should the flow be set on it.,

[sstimac]

It depends. I have a Fluval 304 running almost full capacity on a 46 gallon tank and my RCS do very well. They do not mind the current. Other species may have different preferences.

The important thing, however, is to install a foam pre-filter on your intake tube. Otherwise your little babies could get sucked into the filter. I am afraid to admit that I do not use carbon at all in this tank and it is my only shrimp tank. Instead I have opted to use additional foam pads, ceramic rings and ceramic stars. *Just throwing out some suggestions.

If you go carbonless you will be extra reliant on your biological filter, because of which you will want to make sure the tank is absolutely cycled.

'When I go to my pet store .I'll ask about them about those things.,Lilly

[sstimac]

At the store I work for we sell them for a couple of dollars. Ask for a replacement sponge for a sponge filter.

"What a good plant to put in a tank that small .And do you like the ones that are 'Snail free' .I hate getting those 'Free Snails ' in my tanks ., Lilly

"What a good plant to put in a tank that small .

I have one of these small tanks and I just have small portions of different plants all around the tank. I have petite anubias nana, potted HC and dwarf hair grass, mini moss, Marselia hirsuta and small clippings of stem plants. You can be creative with a small tank.
