Last night, i put the pregnant amano in a little container and now i have 100s of little larves floating around :D I have a 2.5 gallon running on a air stone and i put 1 cup of salt mixes into it. The problem is i'm not sure how to work the hydrometer (coralife). Ok i understand i dip it into water ...

i have a DIY hagen Co2 in my 10 gallon tank. Being economical, i made a co2 bell diffusor to catch the little ones that get out on the top. To increase diffusion rate, i'll need something to move the water inside. are there any powerheads that are harmless to baby shrimps?

i've been adding a pinch of KNO3 into my tank daily, the shrimps still seem happily pregnant. =D just a lil bit of algae.

looking at my tank, I sometimes see shrimps that are almost colorless. Though I know they'll eventually get more red, it wouldn't be as red as those that are born red. How many vibrant red female or males do I have to introduce to the tank in order to slowly get rid of the clear looking shrimps? or ...

i'm planning to add about .25 tsp of KNO3 into my 10 gallon tank to boost the health of my java moss. Would this kill or effect my shrimps?

no no, the iodine liquid drop mentioned is for the trumpet snails to develop a perfect cone

These are the Hawaiian Red Shrimp which requires saltwater i believe... the data is in the "shrimp varieties" section provided by Mustafa... as far as how big of a tank... looking at its size... u can use the thumb rule for other small shrimps for this one too, but i'm not sure what it is....

thanks you guys helped alot... look at this: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/FWSubWebIndex/fwsnailfaqs.htm "You may want to dose with iodine to help with shell formation. Kent Marine Iodine is what I use. Add one drop per 10 gallons per week or after water change. This is a tiny amount, no more!&quo...

currently i have a pH of 7.2 using baking soda to buffer the water.
For some reason, i find the cherrys to breed better in a higher pH. how bout you guys?

also, my trumpet snails' shell rots away at the end therefore destroying the perfect cone... what's happening?

i know this sounds stupid but, the only algae i'm seeing is the green spot algae on the glass. I've seen fish store having those nice looking dark hair algae that looks so elegant ... i want to see my shrimps munch on these... on do you go about growing them?

this is a thread for people to look back on where others made mistakes... i had two unfortunate mysterious plagues that wiped out almost all of my shrimps, and i'm up to my second Renaissance :? here are my culprits 1. forgot all about the DIY CO2 and allowed it to overflow into the tank, poisoning ...

okay its been almost 2 months since my lost... and my shrimps are growing back, but today i found another one froze at the food site. This one is pregnant too! should i be worried? i have no added anything, just weekly 25% water changes. however, i did remove a drift wood containing numerous (2 big ...

i was lookin at my tank today and i realized alot of shrimps disappeared, they died off =/. I found some adult shrimps looking like they were pickin on the java moss, but in fact they were dead. i don't have ammonia test kits to test but i'm sure its not ammonia. Its a 10 gallon half filled with gro...

i usually throw the food in one place and all the shrimps all gather to eat them. However, there were some shrimps on the other side that don't come over. Maybe you can feed it on one spot and sprinkle a little on the other side. Feed it where you're most likely to see them. Its interesting to watch...

the pleco and oto wouldn't be able to chase those tiny shrimps with their down sided mouths. any correction is welcome though. the shrimps won't get sucked through the pad, if anything the shrimps can make a living inside the filter heh, or u can check with a flashlight. Keep feeding them till they ...
