What types of shrimp do people keep here
I was wondering what other types of shrimp that people have keep here?
Re: What types of shrimp do people keep here
I mostly stick to verbal pool inhabitants....fairy shrimp, clam shrimp & seed shrimp
Re: What types of shrimp do people keep here
I've tried to keep various species, but the only ones I've succeeded with long-term and bred have been supershrimp, ghost shrimp and brine shrimp (the sea monkey variety).

Brine shrimp, Neocaridina davidi (wild and self-selected red cherry), malawa, Macrobrachium, and gammarus.

Re: What types of shrimp do people keep here
demonte1997, cool! What kind of tank do you have them in, and what parameters do they like?
I have a small 5-gallon hex with about 50 Opae'ula (soon to be more, I hope, as there are several saddled females) and a 20-gallon hex with a mixed population of mostly Caridina shrimp (CRS, CBS, Ruby reds, black King Kongs, yellow King Kongs, royal blue tigers, Santa shrimp, ghost bees, Amanos) and a dozen Bloody Mary Neos. Contemplating setting up a 20-gallon long for Sulawesi Cardinals. No, I'm not obsessed at all...

Re: What types of shrimp do people keep here
I have a bunch of Amano shrimp, and some ghost shrimp, in two heavily planted tanks.
I think ghost shrimp are under-rated. They have a unique appearance and are fun to watch. I like that they're a bit hard to see at first.
I also have a small opae ula tank (which is why I visited this site) which I will be giving away soon as a gift.
