I've got 7 or 8 of these little fuzz balls in my tank. The only "plants" I put in were 3 moss balls and a little hair algae. Don't know what these are or where they came from. Also included a pic of one of my berried females.

Yup, you're right.

No problem, I keep forgetting that this forum covers a bunch of different countries. I'm here in Wisconsin, USA, where are you? It's great to share interests with people from other countries.

I have a stupid question for you. Why would you buy so many when they breed like rabbits?

Just set up a 2.5 gal. for the "yellow/orange" shrimp (see pic). I had a 75 gal brackish tank and used the water I had set up for doing water changes to start this tank. I also put an algae covered shell in from my 20 gal tank to help get things started.

Thanks for the quick reply. Your answer makes sense.

I did a forum search on "biofilm" and found 221 entries, I read them all. About a month ago I turned off my air pump and removed the bubble wand from the tank. I have since noticed a film form on the surface of the water, biofilm. Doing a Google search I read that it consisted of a protein mat and ...

Sounds like you're messing with your water too much. I have a 20 gal that I set up about 20 months ago and added 10 shrimp about 18 months ago. I do no water changes. I now have 50-60 adult and juvie shrimp and over 30 shrimp larvae. My Nerite snails lay tons of eggs but they never hatch. I also ...

Hi Edwin,
I was thinking of moving some shrimp to another tank and was wondering how to transfer them without injury. Maybe put your thumb over the end of a plastic tube, stick the tube into the tank near the shrimp you want to move and release your thumb. The shrimp would be sucked up the tube ...

Hi,
Yes, I purchased 10 shrimp from Petshrimp, order #599 on 09/2015. All 10 were red. I was thinking about setting up another tank with just the yellow/orange ones to see if they breed true. There is at least one or two that look like they're starting to make eggs. I actually watched one of the ...

Took some pics with my iPhone. Not very good. I'll get some better pics next week. If you can make them out, It looks like I have some yellow shrimp, also some white (not pink) shrimp. And a blurry pic of some larvae. The female seems to have ten or so eggs.

Hi to all you shrimp lovers,
I bought 10 Super Shrimp in 09/15. I have a 75 gal (brackish water) with green spotted puffers and wanted to raise shrimp and snails to feed the puffers. I set up a 20 gal. long tank for the shrimp and snails. For most of the first year I had no luck. Snails did well ...
