A couple more =)

With great excitement, I bring you news of berries! Sorry for the bad pics but I was in a panic to get a few snaps lol. Will work on some better ones!

It really was dumb luck! My tank is on my desk and I was working from home. When I saw what was going on I grabbed my phone as fast as I could and did the best I could to capture it. I totally agree that it is kinda creepy but it is life!! I am glad you liked it!!

For 15 shrimp, it's 1 in 32,768

For 20, it's 1 in 1,048,576

So how many you should get depends on how lucky you feel!

#math!! =)

I was able to capture a video of a shrimp eating/cleaning a molt today. Video isn't the greatest, but I think its pretty cool. I love that my tank is right next to my desk so that I can see/capture the cool things these little guys do all day.

Amazing pictures as usual =)

Are you going to fill the 350 with shrimp now? :D Kidding lol Since these guys are kept at half the salinity of saltwater I'm not sure if many of the beneficial bacteria would survive. To get your new tank ready you just need to cycle it. Coming from a tank like that I'm sure u must know your way ar...

Calcium carbonate would work fine. I am setting up a new (glass) tank and I'm planning on using this black sand just because I like the look. I thought about using CC sand too but will use some old coral skeletons I have lying around to buffer PH. Have u tested ph or alk? How are the tank/shrimp doi...

Fun development! I started playing around with the manual settings on my phone camera and am getting some much better results! I was able to adjust f stop and use manual focus for this shot. I still think the new LEDs are going to help and I am noticing some distortion from the plastic (planning to ...

Hi Marianne. Your pictures are amazing! I have been experimenting with my SLR but I'm not getting anything like your results. I am going to try adding an extension tube and I have some blue LEDs on order for the tank. This is the best one I've managed so far. Plesse keep your awesome pictures coming...

Yea I understand. Once the tank is cycled you should see nitrite and ammonia readings of zero. That's really what we care about. I am going to start a new tank to move my shrimp to in the next week or so. Maybe I'll do a detailed thread on the cycling process, daily test results, algea growth, timin...

I'm pretty new here too but I have literally read every post on this forum lol. The less you do the better. There is a guy here that hasn't even fed the shrimp anything in over 5 years. I have had all kinds of tanks including a 300+ gallon reef setup with a dedicated fish room. It goes against every...

Fed for the first time today. Put one tiny pellet in for a few hours. Everyone had a snack and shrimp were still working on it until sucked it out. See pic for portion size lol. They seemed to like it and it stayed together well which made it easy to Turkey baster it out. Dont plan on feeding for at...

It's really hard to tell! I think I can pick one of the refugees out but I am just happy they have some friends and way more room now.
