Are we talking about LEDs still or actinic type fluroresent tubes, because unless your tank is really small or shallow the lights produced by the LEDs wont cover much of an area. This would be more true if you have plants in the tank.

Lunar/moon lights are basically small LED lights that produces a blue beam luminating an area of water in your tank. Reef keepers use it for marine organisms because the LED lights simulates them with the "moon-like" feel just like in nature. Another reason why reef keepers use them is bec...

To Shrimp&Snails: Theres a difference between a small enclosed area such as your tanks and the wild. Besides from that there are alot more shrimp. Even if most of the baby shrimp gets eaten in the wild, there would still be enough for the population to survive. Theres a natural balance. The same...

The best way of removing unwanted snails from you tank would be fetching them out manually or just feeding less. I dont trust ghost shrimp with cherries because I heard stories that they will snatch and eat dwarf shrimp. Then again there are different kinds of ghosts, which type are you refering to?...

"Then continue this process until... well until my parents get mad..."

Haha, sounds just like me

Wow a 300 gallon pool. What are you planning to keep in there? I really dont have room for more tanks so I ended up converting my African cichlid tanks into planted shrimp tanks. My electric bills been going through the roof with some many wires around especially for lighting and high output airpump...

Nice to hear that

More tanks one of the symptoms of the shrimp bug, the growing addiction to shrimp keeping

I was acclimating shrimp and dwarf crawfishes together in a small container using drip method. I guess they were in there too long and cabin fever came upon the crays and they killed a shrimp. However since being introduced to the tank they have been living together peacefully. Moral of the story, g...

Have anyone here tried stinging nettle?

I read somewhere that they are benifical to inverts, anyone out there care to give some imputs on this?

How are your C. patzcuarensis doing Eric? I've had mines for about 1-2 months now and just today I saw a male on top of a female fornicating. He was on top of her for a good 15-20 minutes since I noticed them. I'll try to post some pictures as soon as I figure it out.

It was a beautiful shrimp

Goodluck with the others

There are alot of potential shrimpmates for your cherries such as amanos and shrimp from the Caridina species such as bee, bumblebees and tigers (bamboos if you have a larger tank). However with only a 6 gallons at your disposal, your 10 cherries should turn into 50 very soon if you care for them co...

Okay bubba,

Adding quotations around some garbage you made up and slapping my name on then making it seem like I said it...real mature and innovative

Appearently you are here and doing this because you are just bored. I will leave you to your ignorance.

Bubba, You came to the wrong place to ask questions like this. Notice the title of the forum, "THE forum on the internet dedicated to freshwater shrimp and other aquatic invertebrates!" But since you are here, let me give you some information... Asking question about breeding shrimp for fe...

Mustafa, is there a sciencific name for these more streamlined green shrimp you mentioned? Mines resembles N. zhangjiajiensis in body shape but instead of being white they are in the shade from light green to very light green. :? Reason I asked is because, the person who sold them to me claimed that...
