I agree with Wetpets, java moss is a fast grower. It doubled in size in less than 5 months in my 10 gallon tank. I grew so much I had to give them away.

Yeah it's impossible to capture the dust with my camera. I took a shot of a shrimp and did a little paint job. Imagine the red dots are light brown in color and a lot smaller, just like dust. These 'dust' covers the shrimp's body and is visible up close. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a70/jbnaquat...

Hey guys, this has been going on for a while but I have no clue what it is. On most of my cherry shrimps are these tiny specs that looks like dust but is obviously not dust. What exactly is it? All the shrimps are eating like pigs and doing quite well. I would like to know what these 'dustings' are ...

I would say B too

Very nice shrimps . Can you email me where you manage to get your hands on those lovely shrimps?

Beautiful pictures DanHagan

Length of time...hmm I notice this when I first received the shrimps and it has lasted this long. That would be about a month ago or so. I don't believe this brown lump spreads to other shrimps and it might just be a genetic mutation. I'll try to get a picture but it's a bit difficult. Here's anothe...

In my little cherry red shrimp colony, I saw one or two of them with this weird brown lump protruding from the side of their head. What are these lumps and should I be concern? Do I have to isolate these individuals? Thanks in advance

Monthly subscription through the mail. It was one of those sale so I subscribed $16 bucks for 12 months

I also use the OmegaOne Veggie Rounds but instead of crumbling it into sand particles I take about 1/8th of it and drop it in the tank. It automatically sinks and the shrimps rush to get it. Since the shrimps eat pretty fast, the food does not pollute the water. Speaking of growing algae, I was thin...

I just want to say the article you wrote for TFH for the August 2006 edition is awesome! It's short, simple, and along with those colorful pictures, we should be expecting some new members pretty soon

It's the beauty of simplicity

Yeah, I heard gene swaps are great because if too much inbreeding occurs then there will be genetic mutation (i.e. deformities). One of the shrimp I received was deform but he still swims, eat, play normally .

Yup, it's much easier to clean this way and also because I'm completely broke after going out and eating with friends (hey, school is almost over so we had to celebrate). I figure with the moss and plants in the tank, the shrimps wouldn't give a care about the substrate as much as I would.

I renovated my 10 gallon tank after receiving some free shrimps from a friend of mine. I received the shrimps less than a week ago and I discover there was a pregnant female (yipee!). I hope you enjoy the pictures as I have enjoy taking them :D. Specs: Tank: 10 gallon leader Flora: Hornwort (regular...
