Hey all, I got 10 shrimp and 10 snails last November and the tank is a 2.5 gallon tank. Water is nice and clear, topped off with distilled and the shrimp/snails are going nuts! I had berried shrimp multiple times throughout the year and the recent batch was over 29 shrimp babies. Snails are so many ...

6 Baby shrimp are floating around in the tank now! We will probably have 10+ soon enough but what started with 4 this morning is now 6 and hopefully more!!!

My shrimp are having some babies!! I see berries and what an exciting day!! It only took about 4-5 months but hey that's pretty damn cool!

I use Hikari Crab Cuisine and it works well. One pellet per month for my tank of 10 shrimp and 10 snails. It's more than enough and they gobble it up within a day.

Will keep you guys up to date.

Shrimp have arrived safe and sound. My little 5 year old had a lot of fun playing with the packing peanuts and looking at the shrimp. They were a lot smaller than I figured and the snails were really tiny compared to what we thought. Introduced them to the tank at work and they immediately went craz...

Brown algae is already growing! Ordered the shrimp!

Got the 2 gallon tank setup today. Had a couple gallons of 1.010 gravity reef water made for me at my local pet store, got a nice piece of coral rock, some leftover sand and three pieces of lava rock I had in my canister filter from my cichlid tank. The salinity might kill off some of the bacteria i...

Thanks for the pictures and inspiration Jess. I'll get on the ball and start figuring out my plan of attack. I am a big fan of the lace rock so probably go with some of that on a lighter sand base.

Hey all, Found this site when I was looking for an ultra low maintainence fish for my office. When I saw these shrimp that didnt need a water change, only needed fed every 2-4 weekish...I was sold. I bought a small 2 gallon top fin tank from petsmart for the task. I will use the lid and light, but I...
