Sorry to post a lot recently, but I was just watching my shrimp for a couple of minutes (okay, hours) and I noticed my THIRD berried female. I have had 2 females become berried this week alone. I'm not sure if that is fast or what but I'm excited! Anyway, the third berried female I have is rather sm...

Thank you for your responses guys!

I got back from my trip a couple days ago and I now have another berried female! No egg drops yet so I’m assuming that’s a good sign that maybe they will keep them?

I try to stay away from feeding while my shrimp are berried but if you need water, try filling a plastic cup, laying it on its side on the waters surface and slowly emptying it. I pick a corner and wait for the coast to be clear. Maybe just put enough water to get by. Best wishes! Thank you so much...

Hello! I have had my Supershrimp for almost a year now (got them last August) and I finally have my first berried female!!! I am so excited and don’t want to mess this up! However, after doing some reading on some other posts in this forum, I found that it’s best to disturb the berried females as li...

Thank you so much for your response. The dust is probably just normal dust—we haven’t done any painting, and I don’t really clean over in the area where the tank is besides vacuum. They haven’t been behaving strangely yet, but this only happened 2 days ago so I will definitely keep an eye on them fo...

Hey guys, kind of freaking out over here. So I was trying to remove a dead bug on the surface of my shrimp tank, and to do so I had to remove the lid. I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 mini glass clear lids, just sitting on the top to cover it. Well, whilst trying to move them to remove the bug, one of...

I started with a 10 gallon too. I bought 50 from another site. When I took a picture and counted the shrimp in my tank I had about 65. They all went in at once and I've had no issues. One problem with starting a 10 gallon with so few shrimp is that you'll get a lot of algae, depending on your light...

Awesome, thank you !

Hello everyone! I am thinking about getting the Nat geo sand and gravel rocks that they sell at Petco for my shrimp tank. Has anyone used this brand and was it okay for the shrimp? I want to get the black sand and some of the “river rocks” they have. Thanks in advance

Aside from the amount of salt, the only other thing important about preparing the distilled water is to make sure most/all of the salt gets dissolved before you put it in the tank (it becomes harder to get it to dissolve at that point). And you can put most objects/decorations in the tank that you ...

Where could I get lava rocks safe for the shrimp?

Thanks for your reply! I like the idea of a refractometer, thanks for mentioning that.

Hi, my boyfriend and I are really interested in these shrimp but we have a few questions before we buy! Firstly, since we know we can only keep those 2 plants you sell on your site in the tank with the shrimp, we were wondering if there are any other things we can or cannot put in the tank with them...
