Yeah I was able to take a decent picture, I'm highly considering a seperate higher quality camera, not just what my phone has. I usually see a few on the rocks/glass most of the time, typically they hide within the lava rocks though. The adults behave similarly, going in and out of the rocks through...

By the way I decided to come back to show the results of me taking the time to clean as much algae from the front glass as much as possible. I didn't mention it before but the 2.5 gallon on the right used to have both a black sea fan and a large ball of hair algae that kind of spontaneously grew out...

I was also going to ask if I should feed them something less complex like pure spirulina algae or if I should stop feeding them altogether to prevent the nitrates from going too high, and to deal with the excessive algae growth. I was planning on feeding them like twice a month to ensure that the ne...

Yeah I was pretty certain they wouldn't breed since one had "mysteriously" died off, and they're also just in a 1 gallon, but to my suprise they did regardless. I believe you said it's encouraged to start with 10, or to at least combine them with some ordinary supershrimp to have a decent ...

Ok I managed to take a picture of 2 of the 3 orange supershrimp adults. A second before I took the picture one hid within the lava rocks but I think it's tail is barely visible if you look hard enough. Sorry for the rather low quality, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S21+ but even with several cameras ca...

Hey, I don't believe anyone noticed when I first posted the images of my 4 newly arrived orange supershrimp I believe back in October, since that's apparently the last time I logged in. Well anyways it's apparently been over 3/4ths of a year since I originally purchased them, and in that span of tim...

That's interesting, for them to reproduce yet die off at the same time. I'm still not certain what the cause of their death is though. Its interesting how there's shrimp larvae, generally I only notice them when the shrimp are comfortable enough.

That's unusual, there's a few possibilities but I can't say for sure which is the cause. Were there any contaminants that you know might've been introduced? What about the temperature or lighting it's usually kept in? Mabye the algae eventually ran out of nutrients causing it to die off in turn poll...

Hi there, as far as I'm concerned assuming the main ingredient is pure spirulina, then it should be safe to use for your shrimp. The brand I personally used for feeding them once a month or so was Nutrex Hawaii which I bought from The Vitamin Shoppe, but is probably available elsewhere. I said used ...

Here's a clearer image of one, it even made for a good profile pic!

How are they doing now? I just so happened to order the same quantity of orange opae ula for myself which I recieved yesterday. I figured I'd show a comparison of the previous 2.5 gallon aquarium I already had with red shrimp next to the 1 gallon with orange shrimp. I realized though that they could...

I hope your other shrimp are doing good, wouldn't want that to occur again

Looks good I just recently set mine up, really feel like I should've let it cycle for longer though :| Anyways after placing everything where I wanted I think I'm happy with my 1 gallon/15 shrimp setup. They looked quite pale at 1st but they seem to be in slightly better shape than when I first reci...

I remember having the same issue with marimo moss balls. I'd assume it's just air trapped deeper within it, in the end I decided to bury them halfway into the gravel and placed a stone ontop of them in an attempt to weigh them down.
