Try to get the hydra out. They have been known to eat shrimplets.

No one's getting blown away in the tank. lol Well, except for the pencilfish, but they are soon to go to a new home--so they don't count. The A. moluccensis love the flow. When I added the powerhead, I didn't think about the total gph. I learned at a SW seminar (on water flow), that it's not necessa...

Lucky ducky! I am planning a 75 or 125 gallon shrimp tank, but my lack of funding (translated: lack of JOB) is keeping me from setting it up. When I do set it up, I want to add Atya gabonensis and maybe another filter feeding shrimp to the tank. So for now, I have my 30 gallon long shrimp tank that ...

I have 3 aquariums in the kitchen and one that separates the living room and the dining room. Then I have 4 or 5 empty tanks in my closet. This is in my new apartment. In my old apartment, at one time, I had 5 aquariums in the living room, 3 in the dining room, and 2 in the kitchen, and at least 4 e...

...And today, I found another male and female (could have been the same 2?) mating.

What an awesome little shrimp! I would say let me jump on the band wagon to fetch some up, but Life is getting in the way of my hobby right now.

I have to say: I WANT.


I am going to assume that these have the same basic story as A. moluccensis and A. gabonensis: They haven't been bred in captivity--yet.

Cool looking little guy! But, I can see this being moved to the "Other Invertebrates" Section...

I am in my new apartment, got the 30 gallon invertebrate tank moved and setup Saturday, and I just caught 2 of my dwarf cajuns mating! i wasn't able to get a pic because i am stuck with my camera phone for now, and there was a glare coming from a window, so I sat back and watched. The male used his ...

It's not porn if it's for educational purposes.

I found a nice surprise! One of the females is carrying eggs! I just found her 15 minutes ago picking away in the flame moss.

Quick Update:

The tank still has no filter. 50% water changes done with RO water and whenever I can find the time right now because of alot of things going on right now.

I need help from my fellow caris keepers. I will be moving August 11 (Friday), and I need advice on how to move my tanks, shrimp, and fish. Here's what I have to move: 30 gallon long shrimp tank: about 100 snowball shrimp (shrimplets to adults, some females carrying eggs at the present time), 12 Aty...

What dechlorinator are you using? Most of us here like to use Prime.

What Mustafa said. I house 12 in a 30 gallon long, so 12 in your 95 is fine--as long as you have sufficient water flow and enough hitcing spots for them to sit comfortably without being bothered by other fish, etc. in the tank. I added branchy Malaysian driftwood, plants, and a Maxi-Jet 600 powerhea...

Especially since the ghost shrimp tanks are a great resource for Florida natives like species of swamp darters, mad tom catfish, and bluefin killifish.
