The one I bought is for human consumption from a health food company....why on earth anyone would want to have a spirulina shake is beyond me.

I bought some spirulina from that big old auction site....and it was fairly cheap too (it wasn't that cheap originally according to the sticker). I use it when I make my Critter Crisps©.

I bought a couple of coconut caves from my lfs which my shrimp and bn plec love. They don't alter my water though....have you tried boiling the coconuts for a while like you would bogwood?

I took this from articles section: You feed your shrimp just like you feed your fish..i.e. several times a day a good portion of flake food or pellets.

It is such a shame.....not much of a life until they become snacks.

Yes it's a cherry shrimp and not the only one to die according to the post about it on another forum.

Thanks for the replies.

I've never seen planaria like that before....the planaria outbreak I had several years ago were just tiny little thread like worms which weren't tough to get rid of.

Interesting but also urgh.

It's a very strange looking shrimp....almost muscular looking. Interesting.

I "borrowed" a photo of a dead cherry shrimp from another forum....i've never seen a dead shrimp look like this before:



Have any of you guys seen anything like this before?
