Hi, I decided to tidy up my shrimp tanks and consolodate them into 2 shrimp racks. Racks, custom made tanks, pumps, filters, lights, substrates have all been delivered so I thought I'd share some of my learnings along the way. Will get some pic's up over the weekend and report my progress...

Bit excited tonight as noticed one of my Snow White's showing some clear blue bolt pigment in the head and tail!! What's more.......she's pregnant!! What do you reckon guys? Deffo not true blue, but the pigment seems clear to me. :)

Morning, Woke up this morning to find my 120l shrimp tank motionless - the powerhead had packed up during the night! I need to get some filtration up and running tonight. I dont want to replace the powerhead as I'm selling the tank in the next couple of weeks. Question is, if I drop a new...

Morning, Thought I'd share this with forum shrimpers. We found a heavily berried dead female Sakura in one of our tanks. I was about to fish it out and flush it when wifey stopped me and said she wanted to try and save the eggs. 5 mins later the dead shrimp was on the side board and was...

Afternoon all, I'm sure the answer to this already lies within the forum somewhere, but I can't just find the answer sorry. I'm moving my shrimp tanks into a single and hopefully tidy rack system. I'll have x2 60l tanks on each shelf and i want to try and run both tanks from a single air pump...

Took me a few weeks to get it running, but thought you'd like to see my new shrimp house:- :shock: :shh: :shh:

Hi, had this moss growing in one of my shrimp tanks for a year or so now. I can't remember exactly where I got it but remember the person telling me it was a very rare moss. Looks a little like creeping moss, but it's growth is very dense and the fronds are long, 3-4" each. Any ideas please...

Anyone had any real joy with making a Juwel internal filter shrimp safe? I've tried covering the inlets with sponge and stockings etc and although it keeps the shrimp out it reduces the effectiveness of the filter and i end up with lots of fine floating particles in the main tank. Is there a...

Anyone know whatever happened to Shrimp King? Had a cracking little site and good selection of decent grade CRS / CBS. Seemed to be everywhere, then dissapeared without trace.....website closed etc. Shame......

I've not posted this in the 'for sale' section yet as strictly speaking, they are not ready to send. Just trying to guage potential interest from forum members. I recently bought some highly coloured yellow fire neons, from another forum member. I jumped in and bought them before I had a...

Shot below is my CBS female.....currently berried for 2-3 weeks. Her last batch resulted in a real mixed bag of about 5 crs, 5 cbs, 4 golden/whites and a few brown uns :crazy: Do you think she is worthy of an S Grade? Offspring seem to be very nice markings and solid colour. Cheers, Mike.

I'm setting up a new shrimp tank, and as with my others Java moss will likely feature heavily. I wondered what are the optimum growing conditions for Java Moss. I know it's fairly undemanding as plants grow, but if I wanted a fast growing crop of moss - what conditions should I be trying to...

Does anyone happen to have a telephone number that I can contact Shrimp King on please? [caveat emptor!!!] Thanks, Mike.

Hi, After some id help again please! Along with my spotty nerite snails, I also got 50 or so of these Cardina at the weekend. The guy I got them from said they were Tigers, but the banded markings don't seem to be clear enough for me to be sure. The adults are bigger than cherries and...

Hi, I've inherited a few of these rather nice spotty snails, but not sure what they are? I thought maybe some form of Nerite, but they have bred happily in fresh water so dismissed that. The biggest is no more than 2cm diameter. The picture doesn't do justice to the colouration. The spots...
