Has anyone tried a SUCCESSFUL way of getting rid of snails by not harming their shrimp? I have seen ways but they mostly say NOT FOR INVIRTEBRATES, shrimp are clearly invertebrates. The snails keep finding their way onto the back glass of the tank, and dry up to their death, i find tons of dried sna...

Hey guys, long time no post. Right now i have about 40red cherries in my tank, some of my first have already died, but i have many many babies. Water is room temp, about 78F, and I feed them regularly, but my females dont have much red for some reason.... theyre spotted a bit but mostly transperant....

OK I got one for ya, how can I ajust the pH down from 7.8 to the 7.2 area successfully, permanently and safely?

OK Yesterday I decided to transport my red cherries into their new home. I got all of the full grown shrimps in without any casualties, and i managed to net out about a dozen babies, but theres so many more babies hiding at the bottom of the older tank that I can't risk just DUMPING them in or somet...

OK This is shrimp related:) I just bought a new 5gal acrylic tank for my red cherries, they have about 15 babies that are very visible and several new borns hanging around. The pH in the established tank that they live in is 7.4-7.6, the pH in the new tank is 7.8! I put MOSTLY fresh water, some wate...

Hmm

OK Today I examined them again, the little white fleas have now developed tails, so yes, they look like shrimp now :) Is it possible that I may be one of the first to see the shrimp in their earliest stage of life? it seems that it took about a week for their tails to develop. Now I can barely make ...

well they only zipped around when i turned on the light, since then i havent seen them, they usually hang around the gravel or low java moss, they behave like shrimp tho, looks like theyre picking at the moss. im not positive but they looked kinda clear with a tiny white dot and little legs... Im wa...

keep feeding them and youll have babies like i do now

Today I noticed a few little white specks jittering and zooming in the water, they look like little white fleas! I guess those are the red cherry babies!!! Too small to take pics, the camera is broken anyway
Josh

feed her right? what should i feed besides algae wafers and flake food? im always tempted to feed them brine shrimp lol or bloodworms, but i doubt they will eat em.
