Not personally with Red Claws, but my young M. Rosenbergii ate every snail under 1/4. The only survivors are in the ball filter. The cajun crays also eat baby snails.

Did you keep them with any fish in the tank? If so did they attempt or succeed in trying to capture or kill your fish?

I was wondering if anyone here has used their Red Claw Macros to control snail problems in their tanks. specifically pond and ramshorn snails.

The one in the varieties page is Palaemonetes paludosus not Palaemonetes sp.

I was just wondering if Palaemonetes sp. will breed and and have young that will grow in freshwater?

Today I noticed that my largest (evidently female) ghost shrimp was laden with about 15-30 eggs! Does this mean that the female had to have mated? And because the mating took place in my tank does this mean the larvae will live in freshwater? She is being held in an established, well planted 75g tan...

:roll: I think I might have the answer to this anomoly. while researching last night I found a site that talked about the breeding of amano shrimp. On the page the writer told of a what you might call "subspecies" of Cardinia Japoncia. this subspecies is from Thailand and totally reproduce...

:evil: THE other day I went to my lfs and that day they had "algae eating shrimp" the man at the store told me that they would reproduce in freshwater so I bought some. I looked on the web to see what they were- they were amanos!! I am very mad- the man even told me about some man who brou...

In the varieties page of this website the are some Macrobrachium species that seemed to fit the profile but they might eat my...

if kept in sufficient numbers (in the hundreds) would cherry shrimp, green shrimp or even snowball shrimp be able to really clean up an algae infested tank? And Which dwarf shrimp in your opinions would be best suited to eating hair and green spot algae?

Pretty soon my mother will be going to Germany on a business trip. According to the shrimp varieties page snowball shrimp have taken germany by storm. If she should go to a local fish store there in germany would she have any chance of being able to find these shrimp there? And if she did would she ...

What is the difference between these shrimp? Do any breed in freshwater?

If you put nylon around your vacuum it could work without trapping your young shrimp-I've heard this experiment used with small fancy guppy fry

I have a 75 gallon aquarium with several guppies. I am wondering if I can add the dwarf chiclid apistogramma cacatuoides in with my shrimp and if my young shrimp are even safe with my guppies-which are some what small-a little over an 1" long including the tail. My tank is medium to highly plan...

I am new to this forum and am wondering if anyone sells snowball shrimp. I have looked on other forums with no luck any info would be great.
