Lighten up. My concern was the safety of my shrimp not being politically correct. Excuse the shouting. Nothing was meant by it just a typo as someone indicated. I have read the article on shrimp dying. If I could have figured out the answer from the articles then I would not have asked the question....

I watched the 2 die last night. I first thought they were trying to molt. They kinda jumped around wiggled their little feet and fell on their back dead. One was a younger male and one was a little older female and it was the same this morning. Would it help to remove the living ones to a new tank j...

My rcs breeder is 5g has been established 6 mo with fish. Moved fish @ 1 1/2 months ago all has been going well. We had had 2 batches of babies and 2 berried females. While we were searching for baby shrimp I noticed tiny white things crawling on the glass. The are small enough to go into sponge fil...

Does anyone know what the tiny, almost microscopic white specs are swimming aroud the glass of my 5g rcs breeding tank. Iv'e read @ cyclopse ???? , water fleas??? , mesquito larva??

Has any one moved a berried female to a seperate tank with the same tank water and litte cover to watch the birth process? I am curious to see it happen so that I know what to look for. My breeding tank is doing good. I've begun to see @ 10 shrimpletts @ 1/8-1/4 in in size swimming but I would lke t...

Iv'e seen a couple of little ones. I now have 2 females with eggs in their swimmeretts. Cool! My males seem much lighter color than the females. Almost white, is this uncommon? How often does it take to be able to see the babies?

I was beginning to think my egg carring female droped her eggs because I had not seen her in @ a week. This morning everyone was swimming. Some like to hide behind my sponge filter so I always looked behind it. Today I saw what I thought was some trash or food or something. It moved!!! I kept lookin...

This is my 21st year of teaching. I can retire in 7. I think I may start MTS. Maybee plunge in full time. I garantee you will find lots of shrimp. Iv'e been bitten by the shrimp bug. I guess I need to start searching garage sales for used tanks. Thanks for the advice @ the shrimp!

My rcs tank has been in operation, with shrimpies for a week. I am hooked on shrimp. If I am successful at breeding I will probly convert the tank in my classroom to an all shrimp tank. They greet me each morning and when I come in from work. I have read @ molting, but have not seen alot of info on ...

the room stay between 70-80 degrees unless we have a drastic temp change over a weekend or holiday. Texas temp are fairly mild.

Do I need a heater in the breeding tank? What do I use to cover the filter intake tube.

I have a 5 gallon eclipse hex tank with the filter in the hood. I would appreciate any advice.

Sorry Mustafa @ the rule. It won't happen again

My ghost shrimp get to the food almost before the other fish. They seem to see the food hit the water. Light or dark, they dont care. I read somewhere that they like blanched zuchini.
