I lost two japonica/Amano shrimp, and at least one red-nosed shrimp since Thrusday 6/9. Moving in a red crypt wendtii was the only change, so I yanked it and did two 50% pwc (yesterday and today). Might be coincidence, but don't want to continue experiment to find out.

Do shrimp actually pair, in the traditional aquatic sense? I've observed males swarm pregnant females, and assumed their survival instinct doesnt care who's fertile. Only curious.

Thats true. Most first hand references of crypts with shrimp are questions about set-up, not long term effects. Still, pretty compelling and logical argument from HeyPK. I moved crypt wendtii var. red into my tank last night, so we can run a modest experiment with it to see. I've had an anubias afze...

I've fed broccolli, cuke, zuke, and soft baby spinach with success. The only failure I recal were carrots.

Maxxx,

beautiful tank. great pics.

If its a shrimp only tank I don't think you'll have a problem. If there are fish, I think they will potentially -- probably likely -- eat baby shrimp.

Thanks. Maybe LFS will let me try and see. Shroitaka, are yours Wood/Bamboo shrimp? Mustafa, my layout usually has a DIY wet/dry and sponge filters between compartments. I was experimenting and set up all filtration after the fuge, specifically to see if I could have high suspended particles for fil...

I have a 10g shrimp-only fuge with several neocaridina sp and "Indian Algae" shrimp. Experiment with layout has free floating particles from the main tank collected in the fuge, and much of it is free floating/visible. Current is 36gph through the 10g. I think a small filter feeder would l...

Very helpfull, thanks. The "Rainbow shrimp" in this case look much more like Amanos than Malaysian shrimp, fwiw.

I usually remove them. My shrimp don't eat them, but if I wait long enough they disintegrate (eaten by bacteria?)

I've had three Amano shrimp for approx. three months, and recently purchased three Indian Algae/Rainbow shrimp (according to LFS). They look very similar (including color), though two of the new shrimp are juvenilles. Pictures on this site of both species appear very similar. Are there any physical ...
