Best places for these shrimp to hide are lava rocks. I've seen other use mangrove and it worked well for them.

Yes rare. You don't see that color available or for sale other than here on PS

It's fine. You don't need to drip acclimate. What kind of water did you use?

Just built a new gallon jar with around 20 Opae Ula. It has a 3 watt LED

You’re overthinking it. What type of water did you use? RO or distilled. If you did it’s pure and more than likely void of any harmful pests. I can’t think of anyone that had harmful pests in their tanks due to the normal set up like PetShrimp advises.

I think that YouTube video caters to FW tanks. I've never seen any of those survive or appear in brackish tanks. I even feed dragonfly nymphs to my Alpha Opae Ula and they don't survive in brackish. Then again they get eaten pretty quickly.

Really? This is the first I’ve ever heard of this. Do you have any references for this? Interesting so I’m curious.

Seriuosly? Just net them out. They are fast but all you need is a net.

You're right. A calcium source is needed.

ok

Change the substrate as well. Is lapillus an active substrate? Either way not an ideal one IMO.

Feeding something different or increasing the food won't make a difference. They won't breed any faster & will just go at their own pace. Hikari Shrimp Cuisine is high in animal protein. I wouldn't recommend it especially in a filter less tank.

Remove the filter. What kind of substrate is that?

I never test my waters parameters. Population is high in my tanks. I have fed freeze dried spirulina in the past but most of my tanks are no feeding and just top off.

Old school way, a net. I think the ones that use a pipette is for the floaters. I can't imagine using anything else. They are very fast.
