Could you post some more photos? Perhaps of a few of the other ones of these?

I am about to buy 20 shrimp for breeding stock and out of curiosity I am wondering generally how long it will take from when the babies hatch to when they will be about 10mm in length?

Here are the blue shrimp I caught in the wild that I am attempting to breed. Both have since given birth.

How did you acclimate them? The single most thing which has led to me killing a ton of shrimp was not giving them time to slowly adjust to the water perameters in my tank. These days I do it over 2 or more hours of putting small amounts of water into my bucket with the shirmp in it from my tank...

I have heard them commonly called "pond snails" and I catch them form my local river to put into my tank. I find that my fish keep them in check and have never had an over population problem.

Thanks, I haven't found alot of information about selective breeding of shrimp so I am kind of in the dark. I will do it as you say but about every 5 generations. I figure that it will take a very long time (10-20 generations) to see any difference. LOL just as well I love shrimp!

I am interested in your thoughts on selective breeding as I am working at breeding a more colourful strain of shrimp that I have sourced from my local river. We do not have a wide variety of shrimp available here in australia and I would like to do my part. I have a good brood stock of about 30...

I have only seen shrimp climb when they are stressed... sorry but thats I can say

I am glad that you solved your problem. I personally have lossed alot of shrimp over the years. I always acclimate them over hours now and not minutes. Once had a bacterial problem like you did. The shrimp would literally glow in the dark once they died. I would love to see some more pictures...

My red nose shrimp have never eaten any of my plants but they are a variety from northern Australia

Re: Vibrio harveyi bacteria cause death and shrimp glow in d I have caught local shrimp from the river near my house. The water would get up to about 25 I would guess in summer I is funny though that they would not appear stressed until their colour starts to go milky

I was frantically trying to work out why my shrimp are all dying and it just so happened that I couldn't sleep last night and walked past my tank and saw recently dead shrimp glowing in the dark! I couldn't beleive it. I have since learned that this is caused by the Vibrio harveyi bacteria...

I wouldnt say no to amano's but try to get them for free by going through with the dispute.

lovely looking shrimp

I am interested in adding clams to my tank as an experiment. Since I have had a great lesson in algae in my tank which has been overtaken by just about every type of algae I have turned it into a learning experience whilst I research for my next tank. My thoughts are to make a container with...

I started with 8

I have missed a shrimp before and it was sitting on its side in a couple of drops of water... came back an hour later and saw it... it was fine.

man those green shrimp are mad... and same with those blue snails... love it

Your fissidens is amazing...

very lovely. you deserve gloating rights.

I think if I liked the look of those shrimp I would still probably settle for crystal red shrimp. Like come on you could probably get an African Filter shrimp for less than that! http://www.google.com.au/search?sourcei ... ter+shrimp
