So I looked up what Brown Planaria was - and it could be live flatworms! The sticker on them said "open up live cultures." So I reached out to one of our science teachers and he said that they are very active if they are alive in the water - and I did not see any activity other than the sh...

Thanks Mustafa and the rest of the forum for your helpful replies. I will be ordering more snails soon ---and you may see why I might be ordering double the order I thought I was going to. So the home tank is REALLY happy now - 3 pregnant ladies! But we move in 7 days - so I hope that they don't dro...

Thank you for your help! My husband moved the tank into a room that gets indirect sunlight - so I think the shrimp (and the algae) will be happier there! We took the plug in grow light off of the tank. I saw on a post that the light green algae can happen from lots of light but little nutrients. I w...

Better pictures of the lucky lady in the school tank! She loves hiding in the big green plastic plant - that is definitely her safe spot in the tank. Again - any help regarding the snails and what or if I should test the water to make sure everything is good - would be greatly appreciated. We are go...

Thank you both for your advice - I see empty shells - and can't imagine that all of the snail is tucked away inside of that shell. I thought that the snails were "hardier" than the shrimp...so I am at a loss for what could have killed them. I am just worried about the shrimp now - but they...

I even got to see a shrimp clean the back of a snail and then he must have knocked his suction off - and the shrimp held on to the snail as ...

I just ordered my 20 shrimp - 10 for my home tank and 10 for the school tank! Do you think that I will be able to open the shrimp, take out 10 and then close the bag up to take the other 10 in to school? I am worried that I will have to cut the bag...and I need to keep the others safe and transport ...

Wonderful! Thank you both so much for your reply! Here is the school tank - similar setup but the screen on the top is to keep students from making a bad decision! :roll: :lol: This tank has some little dark things that are on the white rock. Could it be snail poop? Algae? or just substrate? On the ...

Hello! I am new to the aquarium and shrimp world. I stumbled across the Petshrimp site and I was hooked and I am so excited to order my shrimp! I am setting up two 2.5 gallon NanoCubes, one at my house and one in my media center at my school. I ordered everything from this site, except for the glass...
