So instead of putting shrimp pellets in, I should crumble up some tropical flakes/crisps?

Also, do they moult?

It looked like a crayfish. It was about 2 Inches claw-to-tail.

Yeah, that's the one! Bamboo shrimp...

Anyway, could I get care info?

Could someone please give me an outline for caring for these shrimp? I'll have you know, I'm really knowledgable when it comes to crayfish care, so you could just say, "Feed them as you would crayfish, with Shrimp Pellets and veggies."

I did a search, but it got too confusing because it seems the ...

Thanks, I'll try!

Oh ok thanks.

Ecir, when you say "adults," do you mean anything past the larval stage? I see some young (I mean small) Ghost Shrimp often, and they look the same as adults but smaller. So, do they count?

Thanks for everything, guys.

OH!!! I see it now! They're Glass Shrimp! My friend asked a fish expert at Wal Mart what type they were, and my friend said the guy told him "Grass Shrimp." My friend mistook the guy's answer for "grass" when it was really glass! This is the same Wal Mart and their stock hasn't changed.

Thanks a ...

Well these guys are neat and I was thinking about getting some, however I'd like to know stuff about them first.

1. Can they be overfed? I read you shouldn't put much food, but I don't want them to overeat and die.

2. Is gravel alright? If so, what size? I saw them at the store in a tank without ...

Well, they're both adults, so it'd take a long time to fully cure it all...

Alright, well anyway, I started treatment and will continue it.

:shock: Oh crap... I'm gonna need some more Melafix... I'll make sure I get some Friday. :-D

Thank you so much. I never would have guessed it to be Shell Rot... I sure hope she moults soon.

But can you explain why it wasn't cured after the last moult? It was still there right after she moulted ...

Yeah, King (my friends cray) is currently quarantined and being treated with Melafix.

Is burned tail similar? If so, I'll start dosing right away.

Really? She moulted before and it didn't disappear...

So dose melafix and remove the moult? The Tail Burn hasn't gotten any worse, but I'll dose anyway. It should work good because I just cleaned my tank and she's the only tank inhabitant.

Does anyone have any experience with this? The store says they sell many antibiotics but I don't know what to get!

Well, could you guys help me as I go along? :-D

General
I have a 10 (U.S.) Gallon Tank, well lighted and well filtered, with 1 inch of gravel, a stump most crays could fit in, and a slanted log most crays could fit in.
