Re: Is my moss ball dead?
The mossball is not dead. You can squeeze it a little to get the air bubbles out of it and it will go back to the bottom. As for the bits of macroalgae, you can leave them there. They will either slowly decay and the shrimp will eat them or some may even grow again. Your mossball does look like ther...

Re: What am I doing wrong?
You have a sea fan and marimo balls. Those are among the top 3-5 killers of Supershrimp out there. They both rot *very slowly* and cause long term problems instead of immediately killing your shrimp (which they can also do by the way...especially when newly introduced.). Take them out immediately. A...

Re: java moss question
You can't acclimate moss to Supershrimp brackish conditions, not even close. It won't even survive low salinity brackish water. It just dies slowly while staying green for months sometimes and people think it has "acclimated" and go write an article about it and spread misinformation. Trus...

Re: Does this look like hair algae?
Yes, that appears to be some kind of hair algae.

Re: 1 dead shrimp & cloudy water :(
What else is in the tank in terms of decoration etc.? Do you have a picture of your entire tank?

Re: My water looks dirty and my microalgae is dying HELP!
Snails definitely help with removing excess organics from the substrate, which accumulate over the years and which the shrimp can't get to. I personally think snails are a must. The cloudiness is definitely caused by something decaying and causing a bacterial bloom. Other than that...I would take ou...

Re: pH too low, suggestions
Hi there and welcome! It seems like you're trying to "cycle" your tank like it's going to be a fish tank with a high bioload. With Supershrimp tanks everything is different. You don't need or want a traditional "cycle". Have you read the step by step instructions here? If not, I ...

Re: Ready for shrimp?
I think your tank is ready. Due to the macroalgae competing with the biofilm, you may not see much visible algae, but I think you're good to go. And, yes, snails can move around during the day, too. It's absolutely normal. And if anything dies in there...just leave it in there...unless you have a ma...

Re: Fire glass
Anything that's glass (and only glass as opposed to some chemicals on it...or metal in it) should be ok. Glass is usually pretty inert.

If you could post a picture, it would be easier to figure out what's going on.

Re: Shrimp slowly dying
What and how often do you feed? Does the container have a lid?

Re: "White color morph" with yellow eggs on state flyer?
Yeah, that one is definitely a mutation. It's not the same mutation as our orange or neon-yellow ones. I isolated a white mutation also, but my white mutation has snow-white eggs, they look like snowballs. I'm in the process of building a colony as we speak.

Re: Cloud layer Update
I’d ordered snails and after a hot weather hold of several weeks they safely arrived. Wow, what a difference! Those little dudes are worth their weight in gold! Water clarity is back to normal in just a week of introducing them into the tank. The organic growth will take some time to control, but t...
