    UV Deepens Red colour of Cherry Shrimp

    Hi All, This may already be common knowledge but I've made a bit of a discovery which has led me to question the grading of shrimp. I have pretty low grade Red Cherry Shrimp in terms of colouration. Every now and then I get a nice red one but generally they are dull and boring. As my aquarium...

    Miniscule Shrimp?

    Hi all, I appreciate this may be difficult without photos but believe me, you wouldn't see them anyway! I am seeing tiny, and I mean tiny signs of life just below the top of the substrate (tmc nutrasoil). They are moving just like my cherry shrimp, walking slowly then zipping an inch or so...

    Stowaway Snail

    This snail jumped in with a bag of ember tetras, looks like a pond snail to me. Question is, if I allow this one snail in, is it one that breeds alone and will cause infestation? Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

    Dropped Shrimp Eggs

    Hi all, Maybe a question answered before but searching is more difficult without my laptop. I've recently found a few baby shrimp in my tank after a week or so of losing sight of my berried female cherries. Today I find a whole clutch of eggs on the substrate, they don't appear to have black...

    Shrimp - Open Top Tanks

    Hi All, Has anyone else had issues with shrimp and fish jumping out of the tank onto the floor. In 1.5 Months ive found 1 crusty Cardinal Tetra and about 5 crusty Male Cherry Shrimp on the floor. The males seem to be the open swimmers whereas the females stay on the substrate which may explain...

    Shrimp Eggs - Fertilised / Unfertilised?

    At what stage shrimp eggs fertilised? Is it before any eggs become visible? During the visible yellow eggs inside the body stage? or whilst the eggs are attached to her tail on the outside of her body? I have many shrimp with yellow eggs showing internally and have realised that I seem to be...

    Shrimp Mineral Supplement

    Hi all, I've just been rooting through some old packed away fishy bits and came across a bottle of Shrimp mineral supplement which came with a freebie tank from PFK, on the bottle it says "general hardness increaser" Presumably in a hard water area this stuff is not necessary?

    Shrimp Losses, Normal?

    Hi all, This may be a question which begs the answer "Course not you idiot", but I think It needs asking... Is it normal to get shrimp deaths in the first week of owning them? I got 30 Cherrys three nights ago and have already lost 5-6, about 2 each night, I get up to find empty shrimp...

    Shrimp Safe Inlet Height

    Hi All, Question, How high would your filter inlet need to be in order to prevent shrimp getting sucked into the filter? I have bought a mesh filter guard but after having spent the money on a glass inlet Ive decided I dont like the eyesore! I have seen Inlets that are designed to sit at...
