Can we have some pics of all your Amanos? :)

Not sure if manchester use the same supply but I lost all my crs recently after 6 months with no problems. But I put it down to a dead zebra snail rotting..

Looking forward to seeing this develop mate!

Wow gorgeous shrimp!

I have plenty of Cherry shrimp probably 50+ as well as CRS and they ate the snail remains. It was probably not eaten fast enough though?

Thanks Darrel I thought it may have been the cause. Gutted I had them since babies since August and just got them to reproduce some off spring.

Sorry to resurect but i needed a thread to say that i've had a similar wipe out, but i dont think its down to plants its down to a dead zebra snail that i did not remove.. has this almost certently upped my ammonia and bacteria in the tank? I only have one survivor and i cant find the others so...

Catch it and remove it before it eats all your shrimp if you have any.

Been reading since the start, looking forward to seeing the progress updates. Oh and ill buy a shed load off you when they are ready :)

Wow.. absolutly amazing.. LOL Basil.. just clicked into the video ;)

In my RCS and CRS nano i have sometimes only been topping the water up with no ill effects.

Looking good Kris!

Re: CBS tds in low tech??? Thanks Ady, i just purchased http://www.thewatersite.co.uk/HM-Digita ... Meter.html and have messaged FreshwaterShrimp to see if there is anything i should be looking at purchasing.

Re: CBS tds in low tech??? What does that mean for us then mate, as i read that CRS need a TDS of around 200, do i buy conditioner to boost it to this total? Cheers

Re: CBS tds in low tech??? Would also like some info on the above as my TDS is 48.7 according to the calculations above and my water report.

Same here

Mel, what should the ph be for cherries mate? The test kit I have is the strips and there not very accurate to be honest.

Hi mate, no wiped them all out! Got a new tank now which is not set up yet so will give some more a try and see how we get on. Cheers

I had this once also, look exactly the same.

lmao

Nope lost about 100 to some water issue.

There mouths are so small they may only eat baby shrimp.

I havent seeny any deaths in a while Paul but that could be because there is hardly any shrimp left in my tank!

The one in my mature tank at home, about 1 year old Akadama, the one in my work nano is about 2 month old Amazonia II

Hi, Looking for some answers really, as you can see from my first post i started to lose shrimp some time ago. This is still happening one by one i am still seeing drop offs. My friend who lives down the road has lost all his CRS and alot of cherries too. He cleaned his filter out a week or so...

Found another 2 dead this morning.. thought this had gone.. argh

Nice ed! Got any pics?

I have never seen so many lol I can't even keep 10 CRS!

Maybe mate i guess we will never know, ovbiously plants take in nitrates (or is it nitrates?) so when i removed the load of blxya i might have had an influx on one of them since there wasnt enough plants to remove it? No idea.. just hope it has stopped now.

Almost yes, I have not had a death I have seen of since the removal and large water change.

Ammonia = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = Around 10-13 Ph = 6.1

He didn't actually give me a number but the chart came back yellow think thats 0-3? If that's makes sense to you? I removed all the plants recently and did the usual 50% change so hopefully onwards and upwards from here?

Thanks for the reply I can confirm that the nitrates are fine after just coming back from my lfs. Funny you say that about the Sand as I previously had play sand and covered some of it over with akadama soil. To be honest I think it's a mixture between something toxic in the tank (could it be...

At first i though it was due to the age as many of my shrimp were over a year old but now my tank litterally has about 5 shrimp in out of 50 so i have lost a hell of a lot. I havent added anything apart from calcium and seachem prime which is something i never used to add until the last few...

Hi, looking for some assistance here please as i have lost several shrimp in the last week. My tank is over a year old so pretty mature but today i saw 3 dead cherries and a dead amano. I have not changed anything in my tank so i have no idea what this could be i think in total i have lost...

I can keep cherries no problem, but CRS just die on me i am going to have to investigate further myself in order to safely keep these species.

http://www.goldfishgala.co.uk/ They sell them here for £1 a bag and are based in the UK.

I have CRS, Amano and Red Cherry.

150ltr

Yes 2ml daily for 3 months, no change or distress displayed. However i can only count three out of my 5 but the other two could be hiding.

Hi Tom. I think it could only be B) but A) may also come into it but someone will clarify. Were your fish gasping for air with regards to Co2? When my Co2 levels were too high i had shrimp and fish all at the top of the tank. With regards to C) Depends how much you are disturbing it i suppose...

Read the item description to be sure mate I'm sure it Said he was going away for a while and wasn't selling any for a bit! Just a heads up.

It was andy2005gemma can't link it to you as im on my iPhone.

I just bought some red crystals from a seller on eBay they have great markings on them £33 for 10 includes free next day delivery

Matt, Funny you should say that because since changing to Shikura shrimp food i havent seen one of my cherries with eggs for the last two months! and i have about 50-60 shrimp in the tank. There possibly hiding in my moss though :)

Hi Neil, When i have received shrimp in the past they came in a small box with a Kordon breathable bag inside which allows oxygen into the bag without leaking water apperently. It also contained a heat pack, but buy the time i received the shrimp it wasnt warm and they were all alive. People...

David, I have some shrimp in my downstairs tank with a pleco in it, i had about 10 shrimp. They bred, and now i have only about 2 shrimp, i am starting to think the pleco has eaten them when he gets hungry...

Hi Mark, Yes i am, found no problems so far.

Ok no worries, waiting on LD to get back to me to see if he has any. I think they come off plants from the far east

Nelson, Samr Q to you mate, do you have any of the product left to wipe these out? seem to be getting more and more and i have a feeling there hunting my shrimp!

London dragon, do you have any of that stuff left that kills this mate?

thank you for the fast response. Took a look on wikipedia, i take it by non-parasitc it means its harmless?
