Supershrimp activity
I had my newly acquired shrimp in two small plastic candy jars, about 4 inches high. I finally found a glass container suitable for display. It is about 8 inches high by 6 inches in diameter and shaped a bit like a brandy snifter. It's much larger than an ecosphere and I estimate that it contains a ...

Re: Confusion. Please help
Where did you find the reef rock? I'd like to get some.

Re: New supershrimp, not red
I saw a discarded exoskeleton - good news, they are molting.

Re: New supershrimp, not red
More of the larger ones are beginning to turn red. They are pink now and I have hopes the color will deepen. I suspect they are okay in their new surroundings.

Re: New supershrimp, not red
I said the flake food I was giving them was the size of a pinhead. I don't want to overfeed and I want them to eat the micro algae and micro organisms. The shrimp range from 1/4 inch to almost 1/2 inch.

Re: New supershrimp, not red
Thanks, pictures would be great. The shrimp seem very active. Unlike my freshwater shrimp, these guys pick up pieces of the tiny flake food after it is broken. Then they take the tiny piece away and I find them upside down under a leaf (plastic leaf), eating it - amazing.

New supershrimp, not red
I've had my supershrimp for two days now. They seem healthy and active. They eat well. I have given them some flake food, about the size of the head of a pin. They respond well and quickly eat the food. I will feed them every two weeks or so. They also constantly eat the micro-stuff that I can't see...

How do you get microorganisms & other stuff
I am setting up two 1/2 gallon containers for Supershrimp. I currently have a small freshwater tank for shrimp and find it easy to maintain. So now I am trying my hand at brackish water Supershrimp. I have prepared my containers with 1/2 strength marine salt, gravel and lava rock. The rocks have bee...
