Petshrimp.com Discussion Forum

I'm in a planted tank forum, wich much discussion about shrimp, and I've never heard of anything like amanos eating plants... I'd assume I would have if it's common at all.

I'm wondering if anyone, preferable with a red cherry shrimp supply , lives somewhere near me, in Kelowna, BC (within the Okanagan Valley)? If so, please let me know, or better yet, send me a PM!

Can't say I have. Never fed them that before.

I feed mine either shrimp pellets, or sinking pellets, or flake food. I like how the flake food gets everywhere so they can find it easily and not fight over anything either.

If you still need to break the glass, a sharp tap from a hammer or something hard-heavy would work. Just be sure not to swing at it, but rather tap it firmly enough to break it without smashing your shrimp with the hammer.

Why use any treatment at all? I have lived in two different cities here in the US and also in Germany and I never used any treatment. If you are not doing complete water changes every time your tank will be just fine. I don't know what the case is with chloramine, since I don't think that I have ev...

I too use a liquid-only dechlorinator. It says it removes heavy metals, but that shouldn't be a problem since heavy metals are bad for shrimp anyways!

I'd be very interested in which ones are safe. I don't want to loose any rare shrimp
I have access to Seachem Prime

So the alternative is setting the water out for 24+hours... What if I have chloramines and NEED to use a dechlorinator?

I've never used salt, but I do use iodine. Much debate over if they need extra iodine, but I add it anyways. Without the the salt of any kind, the shrimp are thriving. Just gotta take good care of them.

Nice pics!
