I keep mine at 70 Fahrenheit 66 should be OK and if you are really concerned put a heater in the tank.

There activity probably isn't because they are happier even though it might look like that! Supershrimp usually get really active when anything exciting happens to them or any changes are made to their environments. For example, whenever I add water too my tank they all get very excited and swim aro...

This is so cool one day I hope my guys will start to breed

No they where all fine from shipping maybe from a molt because I did notice a skeleton.

Today I found one of my shrimp with some broken kegs and he cant cling on to anything or walk
I understand nature will take its course and he will die. But how did he break his legs?

Harry wrote: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.

Oh, sorry I misread that, they sound like they are at a decent size.

Mustafa is right. Another thing to consider is their size, you said they where about the size of a pin head. That is very small I think that it is safe to say they are probably still VERY young and have not fully developed

When I first read your post your question did not sink in. When I was recently looked at my tank it hit me. My shrimp or at least a number of them congregate in a location. For example the temperature probe will have a dozen or more shrimp attached. My heater which is unplugged but not removed beca...

That's a shame, I live in the U.S. . But I can deal with a dull snail XD

WOW those are awesome

Does anybody know a good place to buy a nerite? I think it would make a nice addition to my supershrimp tank.

I think the stripe indicate gender but i'm not sure so don't take my word for it!

Sorry for your lost shrimp Andre. A few questions. Tank size, number of shrimp, pictures and how long have you had the Opae. You talk of 'pellets'. And 'very small' is relative. Think flakes and pea size. When feeding try a pea size flake. If they finish it in ten minutes try 3-pea sized flakes in ...

What Mustafa said, but if there is any food left I would remove it.

Also, just wondering if they are "pop-corning" from only certain objects is their a problem with the object?
