I have 2 tiny containers of shrimp (they were sold as closed self sustaining never had to do anything with them - they were a gift.. I have posted photos below if they come through. 1. glass round container is over a year old, ...

Thanks for replies. Dch48 that seems like a lot of poop for 5 little tiny shrimp. I thought in a closed system maybe they ate there poop? Do you clean it out? or just let it all sit under the rocks? I am feeding them this which the specialty fish store gave me. I do just put the tip if a toothpick, ...

Thanks Dylan. They get so excited when I drop a little of the food in there, I love to watch them. If not good to feed them I will not. I also NEVER see them on the Algae spots eating it. Is there a difference between brown, green and Orange (which is what I have) algae? What do you suggest about th...

Hi Folks, You helped me a few months back when I added some new shrimp to my tiny container. I am happy to say all of my 5 shrimp are happy and I enjoy them.

Thank you for your reply. I have added the other 3 in today. The container has already been really clean. It is in diffused light all day. I will move it closer to a window. I will also pick up some plant based food and only add one flake every 3 weeks. My last concern is if the decoration in my tan...

Thanks everyone for chiming in. I have no idea who to believe about the little glass container. The gal that sells them states they are fully contained and you do not need to do anything accept add distilled water if the water were to evaporate. I have had the little container with ONE shrimp in it ...
