Re: Dried sea fans?

I've had one in my tank for 6 years. I've never had a problem with it.

Re: My Nano Tank Set Up Success Story

Hey everyone! Just wanted to post a long overdue update. My 1.5 gallon tank is still going strong after 6 years! All I've had to do is top off the water level with distilled water when it gets about an inch low only around once a year. I feed them just 1 tiny shrimp pellet about once every two or th...

Re: Adding More Friends?

I have a 1.5 gallon tank with about 30 shrimp (started with 10 but they've multiplied) and 10 snails. I feed them Ocean Nutrition Shrimp Wafers. Only 1 wafer around every 2 months. It comes with a small spoon that makes it easy to scoop out and feed a single wafer. It's a no brainer and I'm sure you...

Re: My Nano Tank Set Up Success Story

Update: My 1.5 gallon tank has now been going strong for 2 1/2 years! Went from 10 shrimp to around 100 now. About 9 months ago I purchased 10 snails from this website. After around 5 months, I stopped seeing any of them. I figured they all died, but the other day I saw an adult snail climbing up th...

Re: My Nano Tank Set Up Success Story

Today July 22 2019. I started this tank in February 2016 after breaking open an ecosphere. I added 10 shrimp from this website. They berried and multiplied. It's a very basic simple set up and it has done well for over 3 years! I only feed them one tiny shrimp wafer every 2 months. 4 months ago I in...

Re: Good Food Brand?

This looks fine for feeding your super shrimp. I found the ingredients. It contains spirulina. These shrimp can eat just about any type of fish food. Just don't overfeed.

Re: My Nano Tank Set Up Success Story

Yes, there are at least 100. Most of them are still small as they haven't matured into full sized adulthood yet.

Re: My Nano Tank Set Up Success Story

Hello Everyone. Just wanted to send an update on my 1.5 gallon Nano Tank. It's been 2 1/2 years since I set up my tank. Since then, the shrimp population has grown from 20 to well over 100! There was a major growth spurt a little over a year ago, but now I think the shrimp have decided they've reach...

Re: My Nano Tank Set Up Success Story

I bought the sea shells on Amazon for $9.99. They do add calcium to the tank, but if you use aragonite sand, that will do the same.

Re: Clear Water

Make sure you added brackish water. Brackish water has half the salinity as ocean water.

Re: Store bought RO vs Distilled water

Use distilled water. These shrimp are not finicky.

Re: Why are supershrimp commonly put in ecospheres?

For a few years now, I have been on a crusade to educate people about ecospheres. There are several websites selling these, including through Amazon. I have been posting my "review" on as many sites that will allow me. Amazon has at least 10 different sellers. Here is my review: "Do N...

Re: My Nano Tank Set Up Success Story

Update: It's been 9 months since I introduced my 10 shrimp plus 10 new shrimp to my 1.5 gallon tank. After about 5 months, I began seeing berried females and then the birth and growth of several babies. My shrimp population is now around 50 and growing with more berried females. I just want to empha...
