Thanks for the info Jess. It looks there are two species of shrimp in the Ascension pools: Procaris ascensionis and Typhlatya rogersi; both of them very rare and endareged species that lives mainly in 2 small pools connected to the sea Procaris ascensionis https://cff2.earth.com/uploads/2017/04/2010...

Ascension its like a tiny volcanic rock in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, only about 1 million years old. Its part of the British overseas territory of Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha who is the most remote habitated island. This islands have extraordinary habitats and unique species...

Yes Mustafa you are right, I didnt put it correcty (english is not my mother language sorry) I was speaking about the macroalgae that are know to handle the brackish conditions and live in estuarys or brackish seas like the Baltic sea not all the macroalgae, the majority of marine macroalgae will no...

So finally after a year trying to get some Opae ulas here they are, it was pretty much impossible to find this shrimps here in The Canary Islands but I find a home breeder in Spain who have been keeping and breeding them succesfully so I didnt think about it and buy some of his shrimp, lucky for me ...

Led must work just fine, make sure its around 6.500 kelvin, more lumens per galon/liters more growth and also indirect sunlinght works very well for growing algae and biofilm

They are marine species of macroalgae the highest is the pure ocean salinity and the lowest it change with the species, some even can survive in freshwater but I think the majority do the best around half salinity of saltwater, some species will stop growing if you drop to much the salinity

Interesting but thats a pretty low salinity I always hear that Halocaridina do best around the half salinity of the ocean, I dont know if the larvae can develop in those low salinitys of course Mustafa can give us the answer Also are the competition for the food, if the Caridinas breed more they pro...

The actual plant that lives in the anchialine pools is Ruppia maritima, its a true plant not an algae, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruppia_maritima Its a cosmopolite plant who lives in estuarys, marshes and all kind of wetlands, if you can get some maybe can try it in a halocaridina tank In the Opa...

Hello to the Opae comunity around the world, I dont know how I get to know about the existence of the Halocaridina shrimp about 1 year ago but I get to the supershrimp page and the forum and since then I have been reading and learning about Opae ula, Now I expect to get some shrimp very soon from a ...

I have collected some macroalgae here in the coast of Tenerife, Canary islands. Chaetomorpha linum a very adaptable macroalgae who can live in brackish water and Ulva prolifera or Ulva intestinalis (former Enteromorpha) another very adaptable family of macroalgae who lives in estuarys and also fresh...

You have any photoss of the shrimps? It will be awesome to see them, I hope to get my Opaes soon

Another interesting Algae that can handle brackish its the Ulva genus, some species even can be found in pure freshwater with no problems. Specialy species like Ulva prolifera, Ulva intestinalis, etcc who were in the Enteromorpha genus. https://nas.er.usgs.gov/XIMAGESERVERX/2009/20090611112615.jpg h...
