Well it was months ago now, but always noticed a much darker shrimp in my tank, its a mature female, and well shes practically black, not quite so, you could say very very dark brown really, very noticeable in the tank with some very bright red cherries done a quick google and I saw images of...

Ha one thing I have learned from keeping shrimp, be patient and they are definitely in there, they are just very good at hiding, as I had 2 killi fish (mistake was soon realised) who managed to scare a population of 30 shrimp into hiding constant, or at least I knew I had one :D oh and they...

Thats what I also thought, that maybe the water change had a problem, they both come from very different areas and so the change in water chemistry, will look at simply adapting them then removing the water completely, thanks again another aspect Id considered lightly Im from Northern Ireland...

Cheers man and good idea! I think its been my main issue, even in my 125 litre tank, well that and the killis are boss in that tank :P but my little 10 litre I would like a few more, obviously not overcrowd it, but just dont fancy watching any new shrimp die off instantly, cheers again! will tr...

6 cherries sorry, yeah but at the same time I definitely took a lot more time acclimatising these ones, was over an hour adding a small cupful over that period from the current tank, so I thought I ha done it right, but maybe stress, just odd, and at the cost of 18 snoop simple remedy would be...

Well it wont quite be like CSI, however I had in my small 10 litre tank 5 young cherry shrimp with 2 amanos, after 3 weeks or so I bought another 6, I acclimatised them the same way for over an hour, just the old placing a bag in the water and dark room When I put the new shrimp into the water...

Just a quick qustion on cherries and their colours, I have seen advertised cherry shrimp under different names and varying prices, now there are basic ones, but I have also seen whats generally called sakura and fire reds, with them being labelled as completely red, or red legs etc Now from...

Seen them via ebay and other sites and they look fantastic in the photos I have seen, but big variety in their colours for sure, so not sure what you would expect in terms of breeding, seem to be a mix match, but nice at that :) are all yours similar in pattern George or am I thinking wrong in...

They look like amazing little creatures, however know very little about them and most websites dont give a very good or practical view of them, so just wondering if anyone has any personal experience with them? dos or donts? especially in a planted tank?

Ha thats definitely true for the hiding bit, know they are in there and see some, sometimes, but they still manage to dodge me! fishwise they are very very small, actually smaller than the shrimp but I guess it may be an issue, possibly, I shall keep an eye on them

Thank you Basil but I have no intention or capability of crystals yet :lol: just going to stick to cherries so far :) I dont yet but didnt imagine it would be possible for adult shrimp but then again what do I know so I will look about doing so soon :) just a mystery as to where they could be!

So my tank has been cycling now for 4 weeks and heres its current parameters Ammonia-0/0.25 Nitrite-0 Nitrate- 50/60ppm (trying small water changes) KH-60/6 GH-260/13 PH-7 From readign they can adapt to these conditions right? My tanks very heavily planted and has a strong flow and water...

very cool looking shrimps!
