Free at last...!!! My Ecosphere shrimp have been set free...!!! Interesting story, all happened rather unexpectedly. I kept debating over what type of home to get for them... and the holidays rolled in and I kept getting side tracked... but a couple of weeks ago, I was cleaning up around my desk and...

Thank you for the info on what and where to buy... Very helpful - and I am in the USA... :) The shrimp in my round Ecosphere look a luittle redder this morning... thinking maybe they slept well, lol... it's very quiet in my office, so not a lot to disturb them... but they are swimming about a lot wh...

These are the shrimp in their spheres... was pretty easy to snap a pic of them all together at once in the egg shaped sphere... they seem pretty healthy and happy... but took forever to get pic of the ones in the round sphere... they are always on the move, but finally got at least two of them in on...

Thanks for the sand tip! Inert, then - ok... good to know... The shrimp in the round sphere are a bit bigger, I just assumed they were older, perhaps, than the shrimp in the egg shaped sphere. They are definitely cantankerous - but that's probably because they do not like their home. The water in th...

Thanks for the tank advice - is there a good place online to buy things like this? I've been looking at Amazon just to get ideas, because they have a lot of everything in one place... I know where to shop and what to buy for my dogs, but aquariums are uncharted territory for me... just don't have a ...

Been looking at more tanks... something like this, perhaps? 3.5 gallons, it comes with a little filter, but it's just the kind that hangs over the edge of the tank, I don't have to put use it or even put it in... https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0068CBY7C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER...

BTW - I had stumbled across this... its "shrimp sand" but it's black... had not thought about using any color other than natural or white... https://smile.amazon.com/U-P-Aqua-D-550-Shrimp-Sand/dp/B005VS1I0M/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1543930180&sr=8-5&keywords=shrimp+sand ... do th...

OMG! This is GREAT info...!!! Thanks so much for the guidance...!!! There's a lot more to having aquatic pets, even if its just supershrimp... but this seems doable, or rather, something I think I can do. Have always been afraid of having an aquarium because it's really a science... I will look for ...

Thanks much! I've always liked shrimp, and I've gotten attached to the ones in my Ecospheres... hopefully I'll be brave enough to try an liberate them, eventually... am afraid I'll have a disaster trying to get them out, though... so for now will start with a new tank and some new shrimp... and mayb...

Hi - I would like to set up a one gallon tank with opae ula, but am afraid I will botch it. I became interested in these amazing little critters when I bought a couple of Ecospheres... but after having stumbled across a post online about how these are just pretty torture chambers, I decided I'd like...
