Re: Bizarre Behavior

I had a poisoning scenario. Took all shrimp out that was doing the leg spasm on their backs. Put them in a mason jar with fresh-made half marine salt water they came back alive and alert. I think my cleaning lady might have sprayed a little bit of vinegar while cleaning the mirror behind my shrimp t...

Re: Downsizing to Nano Tank

Do you do a float of the new shrimps in a bag or something? If you don’t need to acclimate and quarantine?

WOW! I see now. I love :smt007 how they walk on water upside down. What are you feeding? Just spirulina?

Re: Opae Ula having seizures

I removed my lava rocks after seeing similar poisoning spasms with my shrimps. I suspect the lava rocks I bought on Amazon are artificial lava rocks and leaked toxins.

Re: My opae ula are dying.

Per yoster try the product Instant Ocean bio spira. I picked up a bottle for 16.99 at the local fish store. Even with a very new tank the water stabilized and kept my three survivors from dying. But yea I had a die-off of my batch too. UPDATE: I found a molt and a fourth shrimp that must have been h...

This guy’s opae ula tank has a nice fake plant but I can’t figure out how to ask him on Reddit where he got it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Jarrariums/com ... ame=iossmf

Re: New Tank Setup, Please Review

I’m really new to this too but can answer the salinity question. My order of PetShrimp I tested salinity to be 1.015 and this can be made with one Gallon of distilled water and 4 tablespoons of Instant Ocean (if using another brand do not follow directions given here) marine salt.

When I try to send messages 1-to-1 they get stuck in outbox but I was saying I can take some too and cover postage to New Jersey.

At first when it wasn’t having an immediate impact, (and in the midst of frustration) I went out and bought a bag of argonite sand also but I couldn’t find a mesh bag with holes small enough to hou...

Re: Setting up my Hawaiian-theme Nano Tank

Hahaha good advice. Temperature below freezing and dont worry I am very sore (hands can barely lift without pain) because I had to shovel my car out after that snow storm in jersey, so I am incapacitated from doing the shrimps harm. So since I can’t go out I am reading this “ Keep in mind, that nitr...
