I too hope the prices drop but I am not in any hurry really because I just started with RCS. I think that is a wise move. You can learn to take care of the great RCS before raising the other more difficult shrimp :smt023 By the way you are doing a great job with your shrimp log, it helps get people...

i think the big problem (i talk for me not in general) is getting theese shrimp in good shape. after that optimal water parameter can be reach by most of the experience shrimp keeper. in my case all the CRS i see around here are bad quality (i am not talking about grade but health). seem but i am n...

Thanks for sharing those nice pictures with us. I like the picture of the Pearl Shrimp eating its molt

Very nice pictures, I really like that Red Nose Shrimp And those Pearl Shrimp are wacky Thanks for sharing

Very nice pictures and shrimp as always Gabe Welcome to the site. Of course I too know you from other forums.

Hi I am new here. Just got my first 10 cherry shrimp yesterday. They are doing good so far feeding on the algae etc. I was just wondering what you all feed your shrimp besides raw veggies. I have Wardley Algae Discs. Reading that they are sensitive to copper, I saw copper as one of the ingredients ...

(it is a tiny sponge used to clean filter equipment in hard to get spots but I dropped it in the tank and it is doing nicely). It is good to know that we can use nontoxic synthetic sponges. Thanks for the tip :D You are welcome, it was in the tank for about a week with the feeder guppies, pond snai...

Change your substrate to Fluorite and your plants will have all the iron they could even need without risking copper contamination. My most heavily planted tank looks fantastic and I never dose any ferts. My plants get only shrimp poop and whatever minerals they remove from the Fluorite. If I ever ...

I saw my tiny RCS grazing on a synthetic sponge I have in the tank (it is a tiny sponge used to clean filter equipment in hard to get spots but I dropped it in the tank and it is doing nicely). This good

Wow this is truly awesome, if they can breed/ grow faster than RCS then that is very good I hope to start seeing these "pop-up" in the shrimp market very soon Thank you for keeping us updated on new species Mustafa!

Hi, Im new here and this is my first post. I have read this whole thread and I had a theory on the sponges that were packaged in plastic and did not work in the shrimp tanks.

I read some of the manual for mine, for the basic things but I can probably take much better pictures with my camera and I don't even know it!

Yes, Neon is right. This is not a place to post pretty pictures, even about shrimp. It is to discuss equipment and how to do stuff. If the pic demonstrates how to do something, or theperformance of one camera vs. another, just about anypic would be OK, but this isn't a gallery. I see your point, I ...

If you have bought Cherries two other times and both times they all died, why introduce them a third time? Maybe you should do a bit more research follow the other's advice and stop killing poor shrimp.
