Unfortunately, I can't just sell these shrimp for the same price as the normal colored ones due to the fact that supply is so limited. My tanks have the only true-breeding populations of these shrimp in the world. And their numbers right now are at most about 300-400. If I sold them for the same pr...

It's going great! I have two varieties of orange/yellow shrimp. One tank must now have 200+ shrimp in it so I may actually start offering them in limited quantities in the next few weeks. This variety is not as intensely colored as they grow up, but once they they become bigger, and especially the ...

I had it in an area that didn’t get any light sadly because we are moving and this week I planned on bringing it to my new place and get it in natural light for a week or so and was planning on then placing my order for the shrimp and snails :) I didn’t want to go ahead with the shrimp in snails whe...

so my tank is set up as of 6/22/19. now its the hard part..

You can put moss and macroalgae in before the cycle is complete and doing so "might" speed up the cycle because of the bacterial organisms attached to them. But why pay for two shipping charges if you don't have to. If you add the shrimp, snails, moss and algae to a well cycled tank you'l...

After the tank has cycled you can put shrimp, snails, moss, and macroalgae in. The bioload of 10 shrimp and 10 small snails will not overwhelm a 2 gallon cycled tank. Do Not Feed....That is key. Typically, there will be enough algae and biofilm in the tank to sustain the creatures. It's all about b...

that is sooo cool!!! ahhh i am so excited for this journey lol.

Wait until you see algae growing on the glass or rocks or substrate, and you'll be good to go. It can take a while and be sure to not put it in a window that gets direct sunlight because that is too much light and the algae can go bonkers, and it can really heat up the tank to unsafe temps. A north...

The 2 gal Anchor Hocking Heritage Jar with the glass lid works perfect. You can add three adhesive silicone door bumpers to the under side of the lid which raises it a bit to allow for air exchange. That's what I've done to mine and it works a charm. The 2.5 gal Anchor Hocking Montana Jar has a met...

ah got ya lol. i am a bit nervous about doing snails just for fear they will over take the tank but reading all i have in this forum it took away some of my worry. i just dont want to have a few shrimp and tons of snails lol. i would like it the other way around tons of shrimp and a few snails.

just thought this was soo cool and wondering how it was going!

Grats on getting the ok! I had to get a work tank to prove that the shrimp were pretty much self sustaining and easy to care for before I was allowed to have a small tank at home. thank you!! haha i am surprised my wife didnt go that route with me! Here's an image of it after a year+ of having shri...

so i have been wanting one of those small tiny shrimp ecosystems forever. my wife was against it at first because when she first met me i had an african clawed frog from one of those grow a frog kits and he would have his love song call a lot of nights and ever since then its turned her off aquatic ...
