Hi grimvixen, Welcome to the forum. I think you’ll find that most of us here keep our shrimp in shrimp only tanks. Fish in a shrimp tank bring a host of challenges for your shrimp, of which waste production is just one. (Please see article on beginners FAQ) This place is a storehouse of info, most a...

Thanks Guy's,Great little shrimp. Bill, I remember you mentioning the tag alongs in your Sulawesi shipment. I can only hope that the shrimp with the Corvette taillights and the Pause and Play button on it's back, is available in the Store some…day Mustafa! Good luck guys, thanks for sharing! Mark

That’s what I have read. Alas, I may well have to do without. I was hoping that perhaps you were able to get them to acclimate to something a little closer to the 6.7 we have here in the northwest. Oh well maybe they will, but I'm not willing to experiment, because they’re so blinking expensive at t...

Bill,
Glad to hear they have acclimated to their new home and have thrown juvies. That’s half the battle.
I'm really hoping some viable colonies can be established here in the U.S. What water parameters are you keeping them in? Please keep us informed. Thanks for sharing.

I keep all three of my CRS tanks as close to 73-74F(23c) as I can. They have dropped as low as 70 and as high as 76... My CRS have flourished. How much of this is temp alone, I couldn't honestly say. I do know that with all my inverts I have had far more problems when the temps have climbed too high...

May I suggest clicking on the Articles button on the left...Read the beginners FAQ. As well as the other articles there. Lots of good information. Most,if not all of your questions will be answered.

I'll be the first to admit it's all a bit subjective. Grade SS (No-entry, hinomaru + one line, Double Circle of Sun, hinomaru) Grade S+ (White portion is large with special features like large tiger tooth, large V-bands) There are several other grades.Do a search for CRS grading guide, you will find...

Beautiful CRS, gorgeous photos...I wish I had the equipment and skills to take such stunning pictures.

Thanks for sharing...Yes they have been busy...

I set up a new CRS tank last week with twelve of these guys and gals. This is my third CRS only tank.
They came from my S+ tank.

OK, at least after looking at Bills photo...I almost feel normal with 2-10s,3-20s,3-29s 1-40 and
1-75 Do I have Shrimp Madness?

WELL YEAH, whats your point!

Wow Bill, tuff call at this point hopefully it is just an injury and will go away after the next molt.... But I also know what these babies cost, so I definitely understand your concern aside from the fact that these are our pets and we all develop an attachment to them. I personally am a wait and s...

Hi Mark, I see several different sizes, do you breed them? I'm sorry Guba, I wasn't ignoring your question...I missed it completely. :oops: My CRS, Bee, Tiger, Snowball and RCS are all between six weeks and a year and half. My Yellows are about six months old and have been dropping shriplets like c...

Thanks for the warm welcome! I subscribe to the keep it simple plan... Do your water changes...Let the biofilm grow... Be patient... Don't overfeed...Don't turn your tank(s)into water chemistry experiments…Be patient... These are my simple rules, which have been discussed here again and again. My sh...

Hello folks, this is my first post, I have been keeping fish for 40 years and was bitten by the shrimp bug a couple of years ago. I have learned an amazing amount from the collection of information and knowledgeable members here. Thank you all for your thoughtful posting. Here are a few pictures of ...
