I can attest to this. I just picked up some of Jason's cajuns at an auction yesterday.

There is no other word to describe them other than "blue". I'm serious.

Where are you located? I would like to get a hold of some myself. Please read the rules of the forum, you will save lot of frustration. I don't think that stating the city/region in which you bought the shrimp is against the rules. Anything further is certainly against the rules, however. I would a...

In my opinion I wouldn't feed the fish or shrimp for the two weeks. I would rather have hungry animals waiting for me when I get home rather than trust the feeding of my prized animals to someone who doesn't know how to feed fish or shrimp. I've read to many horror stories about people who's fish ha...

Anyone figured out what they feed them to make them blue yet? Still no idea. Mustafa, I've recently started occasionally feeding my shrimp boiled, left-over honeydew rinds. Since doing that I've noticed that both my Amano Shrimp and wild type Neocaridina denticulata have developed a very noticible ...

Quick question Mustafa; do you keep all of your dwarf shrimp in tanks with leaf litter? If not, what species don't you keep with leaf litter?

Do you keep any other types of shrimp with leaf litter (such as ghost shrimp)?

Thanks,
Sam

Microworms are insanely easy to culture and would probably be a good supplement for your shrimp's diet.

PM if you'd like details about the culturing method that I use.

My fish tanks get conditioner poured into the tank before filling directly with tap water. I use the same procedure for my shrimp tanks as I do for my fish tanks. It's the same as the procedure that you describe above. I've never ever had a problem of which I'm aware. I use Seachem Prime to conditi...

Really? What type of snail did/do they eat? I've love to have a few of my MTS eaten

I have a 10 gallon, heavily- planted tank with 6 gold tetras. I proceeded to order 10 Red Cherry shrimp plus 1 pregnant female from Aquabid.com, which will arrive this week. I feel terrible because I didn't do the full research on compatibility with fish. Do the Red Cherries have any chance with th...

-Am i doing right by the water changes? Your water changes sound appropriate because you are overstocked. How is she overstocked? What she listed hardly seems excessive, especially since all of the tank inhabitants are inverts. I have about 22 red cherry shrimp in a 10 US gallon tank along with 5 g...

The water test said 0 ppm for ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite. What!? I read one scientific article that said that cyanobacteria can fix its own nitrogen from atmospheric nitrogen (unlike plants and true algae), and so can thrive and take over in low-nitrogen tanks. If that's the case, ugh. That's yo...

Badflash,

How many Moina did you use to intially innoculate your culture?

I'm very interested in setting up my very own Moina culture. Your information has been great.

I do it all the time. Just make sure not to feed too much. Cyclopeeze shouldn't be a main part of the diet, just an occasional supplement.
