We have a 46-gallon community tank with many many guppies (including fry) several tetras, and some cories and a pleco. It is a well-planted tank. In addition, we have had some Yamato shrimp, some bumblebee (red & white) shrimp, and a very large number of cherry red shrimp. Over the past couple o...

In our big community tank, we have a mixture of gray Yamato shrimp, Cherry Red shrimp, and Bumblebee shrimp. We have had a lot of breeding take place. It seems that several of the shrimp (some of tiny and some are well grown now) are a kind of dark color, different from any of the species we started...

I know this question may have been asked before a few times but I want to clarify and get some quality advice... First, we have 4 aquariums. They are as follows: a 42 gallon community tank with several kinds of fish and 3 kinnds of shrimp (Yamato, Cherry Reds, and Bumble Bees) a 15 gallon community ...

I have read about what you're saying about keeping shrimp separate from all other fish. However, we seem to be having good success breeding in our 2 larger tanks. Yes, they are both well planted, thus providing plenty of hiding spots for the shrimp. However, on many occasions, I have seen various fi...

We have a 46g community with quite a few different varieties of fish including 10 platies. We also have a 16g tank with 6 platies and 3 hockey sticks (penguin fish). In both tank we have a handful of Yamato Japonica shrimp in both of those tanks. We also have a large number of cherry red shrimp in b...

I posted on another thread that we recently purchased 4 expensive Bumblebee Shrimp on sale at our local tropical fish shop. We put them into our smallest tank (6 gallons) which also houses 4 young platys. Today we found one of them dead. Another seems to be losing color and is very unenergetic. Very...

Actually no, they're called Bumblebee shrimp I believe. We just bought 4 of them on sale at one of our local fish shops. We put them in our 6 gallon tank which only currently house 4 small platies and 2 Otocynclus Corydoras catfish. We have a llot of plants and wood in the tank and they mainly hide ...

Thanks for the information on shrimp that I posted about above. I am excited about the prospect of breeding cherry shrimp. They are very expensive here in Japan. Another type, the red & white ones, are extremely expensive here. Some of the rarest ones of that variety can run as much as over $120...

It seems that we've recently noticed some tiny Cherry Red Shrimp in our tank. It appears that they are babies. Are these toiny creatures at risk of being eaten by bigger shrimp and / or fish? We have a community tank with some Corys, a Pleco, Platies, different kinds of Tetras, and African Lampeyes....

This is my first post on this site! Anyway, I am posting to inquire about shrimp for a new tank. we have an existing 16 gallon tank in which we just added 3 Caridina Japonica. One died the next day. The other 2 have been doing well for a couple of weeks. The prime goal was to have them eat the algae...
