i dont do much here posting wise, but theres a few threads ive been watching the last couple years (this being one of them) that have blown me away. things that would set the rest of the internet on fire for fear of the unknown. i have a couple tanks with these amazing creatures myself, thanks toi t...

thats awesome! im trying to get a breeding program going to supply my lfs. they seemed interested!

So awesome to see you finally got a berried shrimp!

glad to hear the shrimp are doing good. im moving my tank soon too. im very nervous though. so if i move mine before you move yours ill share how i did it. i have an idea of how im going to do it, but i dont know how well its going to work.

It might be a good idea to add some more shrimp and some more water (from the old tank) to the new tank. That will help maintain the colony of beneficial bacteria that were added with the "instant cycle" products you mention. adding water isnt a bad idea. but it really doesnt contain that...

its just a large air filter with a tetra whisper 10 that i cut back with a little screw adjuster. im sorry, i should have been more clear in my original post. for a long time it was growing a bunch of algae on it and its a gathering place for pregnant shrimp. but the algae is almost gone now. its in...

i use one, but its a 40B without it they seem unhappy, with it i have had nonstop breeding.

definitely going to follow this! cant wait to see what happens. good luck

this is great to hear! my recommendation for a new home is a 20gal tank 8) but i always go big or go home! maybe find a 20H at a petco on the $1/gal sale. or try craigslist ;) i think im going to move soon too. this is good information to have. though i dont know how moving 40 gallons of water, that...

ive got about 50 (give or take 5/6) larva floating around now. 2 still berried shrimp. so in about a month more my population will have tripled from initial purchase. im thinking about buying maybe 20 more adults to add some genetics into the gene pool. it may be unnecessary, but i just might do it ...

i got about 25 larva floating around that i counted today. 1 shrimp about to release a batch of larva, and 4 others berried. i also found a cluster of 4 eggs that look to have been detached or dropped that are stuck on a piece of algae. im watching this close to see if they hatch. the shrimp from th...

got a second batch of larva being dropped, that started today. also three other berried shrimp ive noticed besides the one dropping the larva

oh ya! i was looking at some to buy, then i switched jobs and ran out of money in between them! but i get my check for this new job tomorrow, ill get a few. maybe i can get some algae on the branches and make a tree type of deal lol

all but two larvae are benthic as of today, they are struggling to swim to a surface (whether it be water surface or glass) unlike the rest that have made it clear they can frolic amongst the heard now. but by tomorrow night they should get it down. three berried still but new moults every day so fa...

so i took some pictures yesterday while i was able to see all 3 berried shrimps. then my gf noticed the moult on top of the water upside-down! thought that was pretty sweet. there was another in the algae also, maybe 2 more berried shrimp to come? one can only hope. theres also a white shrimp that i...
