After my tank failed about three years ago, I put the few remaining shrimp in a temporary container- a plastic mixed nuts container. The shrimp continued to die and I expected all to do so, but to my surprise, one shrimp has survived all this time in this container. This little critter has convinvce...

Thanks for your reply, Varanus. I'm intrigued- So your shrimp reproduced even in a six gallon tank? I thought the minimum they reproduced in was in a ten gallon tank. I am thinking about what size and shape tank to put them in. I am leaning towards a traditional rectangular tank, but much smaller- s...

I 'm sad to report that my tank was not successful. I gave it a little over six months. In that time, I hardly saw the shrimp, because they got lost on the large coral I placed in the tank, there was a lot of algae, but no reproduction.

I've isolated it in a bottle with a top on just in case- I don't want a dragonfly or goodness knows what else spontaneously flying around my bedroom. If it...

I just added my shrimp a week ago, and they settled in immediately! My understanding is that you can't have too much coral. I also have a huge piece in there and it provides a ton of surface area for algae growth. My shrimp love picking over it, and I love how they stand out on the white background...

Actually, I'm hoping they'll really take to the coral, given all the nooks and crannies it ...

I have a large piece of deal coral I sanitized (pressure washed, scrubbed, boiled, bleached, dried and boiled again with baking soda to neutralize any r...
