Shrimp Tank - Juwel Rekord 60

aaronnorth said:
do you add any calcium additives or is that just for snails?
I feed the shrimp with calcium rich foods meant for crabs and crayfish, they love them ;)
 
wow, they're the sexiest bunch of shrimp i've ever seen.

with regards to the tank, i think it looks good that you just threw everything in, kind of like a jungle feel, especially with all of the mosses.
 
Lookin good Paulo :D

I think you will agree as good as your pictures are they still dont do these superb shrimp justice. Its not till you see those little white legs flashing away that you get to really appreciate them. Keeping my fingers crossed they do well for you!

Those shrimp look so cool,i hope you get a nice colony of them going like your cherries :D
I do hope so too mate, if they breed well then I will have to select a few users to try and build numbers up and make them more accessible to everyone. ;)

I would be suprised if they were, but if they are then its the bargain of the year ;)
 
Some more photos of the Sulawesi, they have started shedding their shells which I guess its a good sign, they go very light once they change them and can hardly notice the spots.

Nice shrimps mate. Not to mention the quality photos.
My Harlequins didn't arrive :(
Thanks Fred, shame on the Harlequins, MA @ Morden should have some next week, I am thinking about them lol
But I think I will setup another 60 liter tank just for the Sulawesi and leave the current tank just for the CRS and Cherries.

Shrimp are great little things and the problem is that they are too expensive, if a few of us could start breeding them on a regular basis and distribute them here on the forum, would make them available to everyone for a small price ;)
 
Hi guys, just a quick update of the tank itself, they shrimp are doing great, and the red cherries are breeding pretty fast, have little shrimplets all over the place, will have to get rid of some soon enough.
Few photos to see whats going on:

beautiful, the rock inder the arch is getting less noticable now :)
Thanks, the rock is way at the back of the tank, just looked like it was right underneath the "arch".
I planted some willow moss at the front of the arch and the shrimp love it, cleaned it up in no time, but now its full of snails so no sure if they will eat it, time will tell. ;)
 
i was wonderin wether i could use twigs and branches off an apple tree in my back garden snap em off and let em dry out

also if you ever trim you moss and need to get rid of it i bagsy first batch

I think this tank is looking much more pleasing now that the rocks are less noticable. I'll most likely be looking for some cherries when my 35ltr is ready in a month or so - I'll know where to come ;)
