the second picture, your yellow shrimp, very amazing as well are the Caridina serratiostris ! Your shrimp farm is like a wonderful dream! When I get my own house I will have a giant shrimp farm like you have! Very impressed with your shrimp! Good luck with your lovely shrimp, especially with your ne...

I am glad I came upon this! I noticed these guys after I bought a plant at the LFS. A few months later I got some "free" brown ramhorns. started seeing those little white ramsnails, hope they were white babies of the big guys I have. Anyways, these small guys I have are both in a whiteish ...

hi, I have the link to the fact sheet on the pearl shrimps http://www.crustaforum.com/topic,10,-pearl-shrimp.html I think it is a german forum in english? I am still looking for fact sheets, information on this shrimp and a caridina shrimp I saw labled as penguin shrimp. I will post something if I f...

from what I read about the pearl shrimp on the shrimp varieties a while back I think it likes alkaline water and no acidic? I think the sand substrate is because they burrow, if this is the right shrimp I am thinking of. I concidered there once because, well, i thought it was pretty neat they can di...

thanks guy! I am just glad i know what a sick of dieng shrimp looks like now, even though it is one of mine. so sad. anyways, does the exoskeleton change in any ways also before the death and during the sick? I noticed before when palaemonetese go to shrimp heaven their exoskeleton form white spots ...

my first thought was that it caught some weird illness. well at least I know it is death and nothing weird. I have seen some crazy looking death shrimp of the palaeomonetese variety, from crazy worms living in them to parts of their shells turning pink (not mine at the store). Never seen a dead/dyin...

the said shrimp has been this colour for two months, which is how long I have had him and is the only one and very tiny. Wouldnt the shell pale-up too?

I am mostly used to dead/dieng palaeomonetes

Ok so lately in my little cherry colony there is a little guy who sticks out. More than likey a male or a very young female. The said shrimp has its candy cane striping of the males on the shell, but the flesh inside the body seems to be white rather than clearish. Anyone encountered this, know what...

to be honest i have kept aragonite with some of my shrimp a while back to see what was up. The palaemonetes i have do not seem to like the environment it causes. They bred at first but after a few spawns they started to drop and not even have eggs, this could also be they are petstore and probably o...

You plan on makin baby vampire shrimp, or just keeping them for fun? curious. Good luck for your new shrimp arrival.

First off I am not the shrimp expert like most people here, so what I say probably can become contested Well, with the aragonite it will keep the ph at arround alkaline levels (8-8.5). the aragonite acts as a buffer, and also contains small traces of other elements. I don't hear of aragonite being u...

Well, today while doing my rounds I decided to stare at my Reds. All the females have been saddled up for a while and I have seen several of them motl. Today I saw my shrimp, do it... I have never seen it in action. two males swam up to my brightest red female and dragged her down. She looked a bit ...

Grats! I would love to have some of them one day, but I would need a new apartment/house, my living room looks like a mini aquarium, I should start charging admission....

They will look so pretty swimiing in the green moss. Oh! You have to post pictures when everything is set up.

Well, one was up next to the glass a few minuters and this colouration seems to be caused by very tiny specks of pigmentation (brownish reddish orangeish colour) and it is dispearsed. Little polkadots of colour barely noticable... smaller than the specks on the palest most transparent rcs I have.

yeah... when i got them they were sepearate and told to keep seperate(obviously). As for the eggs, in my tank of reds all the girls are saddled up also. They have been there for a week. hooray! anxiously awaiting for them to drop to the swimmers. I keep the browns with my axoltols and some palaemone...
