Re: Minimum aquarium size for breeding Opae Ula

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...

Re: Minimum aquarium size for breeding Opae Ula

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?

Re: WHITE Supershrimp!!!

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! :D

Minimum aquarium size for breeding Opae Ula

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!

Re: New here...

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%...

Re: New here...

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...

Re: Opae Ula Color Variation

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...

Re: Opae Ula Color Variation

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 ...

Opae Ula Color Variation

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...
