Damn you guys are lucky. There I've never found a fish store near me that carries anything besides ghost shrimp.

It's just some vinyl tubing. I forget what sizes I used off the top of my head, but I think I found that a 3/4 inch tube fit snugly around the HOB filter intake and 5/8 inch on the sponge filter. The...

If you want to get creative, you can fit something like a double sponge filter over the intake. That way you can rinse the sponges one at a time and not risk losing your beneficial bacteria.

You'd hide too if you could fit easily into the mouth of any fish larger than a guppy. Being skittish is in their DNA.

When I got my CRS the seller put 25 of them in a single breather bag. I was a bit shocked by that, but they came through just fine.

Blue pearls are a neocaridina species, so any non-neo shrimp won't cross with them. Caridina shrimp like CRS or tigers would be fine, though CRS tend to like their water a little more acidic.

Double Duty Lighting

I have a custom built hood on my 40 long aquarium that gives a full foot of clearance between the lights and water. I made it so that I could work on my tank without needing to take the whole hood...

I don't know if I'd call this the beginning. I started with shrimp like 4 years ago, and this is the same tank that once housed my CRS/CBS colony before they crashed.

As near as I can tell it was...

I don't want a tank full of identical shrimp. I like seeing a mixed colony with different patterns and colors. So I'll gladly take some of those culls off your hands as soon as my tank finishes...

Probably a stupid question but has anyone attempted raising the babies in green water?

I'm not sure how to replicate the water flow, but maybe if they're literally swimming in food they'll be able...

I had an outbreak of them in my CRS tank when I first set it up. I ended up using a turkey baster to suck out whatever ones I saw, usually could get 5-10 in a half hour. Eventually there were less...

Bamboo shrimp need brackish water to breed, as do all other filter shrimp I'm aware of. Though I freely confess to not knowing them all.

If conditions are good then many shrimp can berry up again soon after the last batch of eggs hatch. The following day is a little unusual, but not unheard of.

Yes and it's not usually considered a desirable trait. I typically cull the CRS from my group who don't have good coverage on the white sections.

But don't give up hope. Their color is much more...

Shouldn't be a problem if the filter bacteria process the ammonia into nitrites or nitrates. Most plants use nitrates as a nitrogen source preferably over ammonia anyway.

In the time I kept them I probably owned a couple thousand RCS, and since I gave them away to a few people they've had thousands more and there's never been a chocolate shrimp born from the group.

With a reparium the question is how much water you intend to have and if it will be circulating well. If you've only got 10 gallons of water in the tank then you should be ok.

Weather they do or they don't I'm interested in knowing. I love the look of both OEBT and TT so if they don't interbreed I might keep them together. If they do then I'd need to wait until I have more...
