Wow - congrats!!

Vorteil - thanks for posting the second video. It was fun to compare the two videos. You definitely have a high population with so much activity even without feeding. Also, your macro algae is such a beautiful color of green. The macro algae in my tank is a very pale color, almost white, and I shoul...

Vorteil - that is incredible! I have watched the video several times. Can it live in brackish water? If so, will it eat the shrimp? I wonder if the poor thing will be lonely being the only jelly in tank ..... Thanks for taking the time to share this amazing occurrence and video.

Very cool !!! What kind of lighting does the tank have?? I am at 8 months now with my 5.5 gallon tank and still NO visible algae growth. I have been feeding more frequently, about once a week, for last couple of months. Thanks.

Wow .... pretty amazing! Can you post a video or photo of what the tank looks like when they are not feeding? I am curious how many shrimp are seen normally. I know I put 50+ shrimp in my tank but never see more than 20 or so on any given day. Are they really that good at hiding?? There are not many...

Kval1015 - with 16 shrimp you should have both sexes ..... I only had six shrimp and I am thinking that is why I never had babies. However, I also did not have any hiding spaces for them. I added a lava rock in June 2020 and then decided to upgrade to a bigger tank a few months later. I also added 5...

8th Update: Things are happening .... one of my floaters morphed into a tiny shrimp - hard to get a clear picture A4324A8F-5C55-4F56-A9CD-8E8374FE0E12.jpeg This one looks like he is more advanced than a floater but not yet morphed into a shrimp 84883286-5F3E-4A6B-ADD1-DDA44DD8E95D.jpeg One of my fem...

Hello - I don’t think you are on the correct forum .... this forum is for opae ula shrimp.

Hello - you only need about a half inch to one inch of substrate. Snails will crawl up the sides but I never had any crawl out of my first “vase tank” that did not have a lid and was at my office for seven years pre-COVID. You top off evaporation using distilled water - the salt stays when the water...

7th Update - THREE berried ladies ..... One is on the thermometer and the other two are on the blue plant. The third gal is kind of hard to see but is near the bottom of the blue plant and it looks like the eggs are just starting to form ... F79ED5FB-1DC1-4426-B4DA-21C269AB6054.jpeg So fun to watch ...

6th Update: Yup, more BABIES!!! :D The shrimp released her larva and I now have 10 floaters hanging out ...... EDBE64AB-AAE7-4A43-9F44-C7C0247C2D03.jpeg Can you find them all??? Plus, I have two berried shrimp and saw a molt so maybe another berried in the near future. It’s fun to see them thrive bu...

Woo Hoo !!! Congratulations

5th Update - More berried shrimp! 😎 So my floater went into hiding ... hope it’s okay. But, today I saw two berried shrimp!!! It’s a big deal for me .... since it has taken so long for them to breed! One looks like she is ready to release the eggs ... D90609DC-3DA8-4F31-B4B7-C082E66D91B2.jpeg And th...

Yes. Ammonia is supposed to be zero. What do you have in your tank - something is decaying and causing the ammonia spike or your tank is not fully cycled. I would not add shrimp until you get ammonia down to zero.
