I wasn't sure how big my current shrimp aquarium is, so I used a website to calculate how much water is in it based on its measurements. According to that website, my group of about 16's little aquarium is 0.5 gallons. Up until recently I was extremely minimal with their care, only very occasionally...

Thank you! That's great news. Mine are in a smaller aquarium right now because I only have about 16, but I could easily upgrade them to a 1 gallon. Do you use any kind of filtration or airiation?

Wow my original intro post got so busy! It's nice to know there is someone else living in Japan raising these guys. Mine are still doing good by the way! I haven't seen any berries or babies, but no deaths and all looking healthy! LovePixie it's great you got berries! Sounds like you are taking grea...

Wow this was my dream a few years ago! I'm so happy to see you are picking out your white shrimp and making a new colony! How's it going by the way? I would LOVE some white Opae Ula shrimp!

Hello

I hope this isn't a repeat topic, I did a search and couldn't find it. What is the minimum aquarium size for Opae Ula to breed? Or if there isn't a general size everyone agrees on, what size aquarium are your Opae Ula breeding in right now?

Thank you!

I love caulerpa! It kind of sparked from my back-burner dream of Seahorse rearing and captive breeding. But that story is a bit off topic for here. ^_^ If you can source some caulerpa, you could try it in brackish. My gut says it actually might work, especially if the salt percentage is at least 50%...

Welcome! I'm relatively new to Opae Ula myself, I've had a tiny group for about two years though. And I'm working on taking the leap towards breeding them! To answer your question about plants. I think if your shrimp are adjusted to a slightly lower salinity, your options are a bit more open to fres...

It's okay, I understand! I couldent expect you to pick out white ones from huge groups, would be quite a daunting task! But I figured it couldent hurt to ask. I still need to get my starter breeding setup ready, but when I can make an order I'll just keep my fingers crossed my lot has a few white on...

Oh how fascinating!! I would love to put together a tank of white shrimp and see how it goes, in addition to a regular breeding tank. Would be something to have an aquarium of mini white shrimp! I would love to order some shrimp from you to help build up a healthy breeding colony, especially if you ...

Hey everyone! I'm still ambitioning to breed these little guys here in Japan, at the moment i'm still planning a setup and trying to get a nice breeding group together first. A few of mine are still quite tiny. Back on topic, has anyone come across coloration differences in Opae Ula? For example Pin...

Thank you for the welcome! I'm sorry my reply is so late. I was checking for a reply daily after I wrote my introduction, but I didn't see anything and I got busy with work (as usual). I'm glad I checked in today! Thank you also for moving my topic in the appropriate area and deleting my extra post ...

Hello everyone! Normally when I join a forum, there is a place to introduce myself. :smt006 I apologize if this is not normally done on this forum, and if it is in the wrong place or inappropriate in anyway the admins may promptly delete it. I first got into the little "super shrimp" when ...
