I've done some research [and will continue to do so] but I want to run what I have so far by you guys and ask for some advice. Basically, I have 10 ghost shrimp living hapily in a 10 gallon heavily planted tank with 6 neon tetras. This is the 4th time that my females are carying eggs but no larvae s...

Are you 100% sure those crabs are freshwater? What species are they?

Talk about being WAY late on this topic :lol: I haven't been on these boards lately. What worries me is this: the word "freshwater" and "crabs" in the same paragraph. RARELY will you ever get a TRUE freshwater crab. Most, if not all, are brackishwater crabs. What species, exactly...

Awesome story. Baby_Girl, I have been looking for a good media bag like that to hold my phosphate-removing media which is too darn fine for near anything. I tried a pantyhose thingie but it severly restricts waterflow. Can you tell me where you got your media bag from? Thanks! I'd say my phosphate m...

Awesome shrimp and awesome pictures too! I always envy those with good cameras that can take great up-close shots.
What substrate is it that you are using? Eco Complete by chance?

Hope nobody minds me reviving this topic, but I thought I'd come back with some info for others that might happen to search for this. I've successfully been feeding for a while now my bamboo shrimp Hikari First Bites and a product called ZoPlan by Two Little Fishies, which is basically zooplankton. ...

Like I wrote above, the water is brackish with a gravity between 1.005 and 1.007. Basically 2 leveled tbsp of marine salt per gallon. I've read about the dish of freshwater, so far I haven't done it but I might and see if I find them splashing in it. I think the reasoning behind that is to allow the...

Well, they've mated before, I even got newborns in planktonic stage but they die after that because the conditions they need to mature are close to impossible to duplicate in captivity. Crabs are one creature that I think maybe a handful of dedicated aquarists have managed to breed. I have a couple ...

I absolutely love crabs, especially so fiddlers. They're very active, smart and fun to watch. Two of my females know me now and actually reach up and take food from my fingers!

Hello everyone, I thought I'd show off my crab palludarium. It is a 75 gallon tank which I divided in half basically. Half is land, half is water. The height is roughly 6 inches which gives me, for the water side, 10 gallons approximately. What I had done was had a piece of glass cut to size, which ...

I've been purchasing ghost shrimpies from my LFS because, well, they're the only ones available, are cheap and I love them. The problem is, they keep dying on me one by one over the course of a few months. 3 months ago I had 10, now I'm down to one. I'm pretty sure my tank is OK, the one issue I can...

First post! Hello everyone, rather than starting up a new thread, I figured I'd post here. Hikari First Bites. Are they adequate for feeding bamboos? I have a couple in a 10 gallon, I know, it's rather small, got them a while ago when I didn't know what I was doing. For the most part they feed at th...
