it's possible but my experience is: the more colorful the shrimp the more likely the Betta will be agitated by the red hues. that bowl is also a very small space. if the Betta chases it, it's lunch

I did not dry start. I just had wads of HC (yes, it's HC not HG) already from my 3gal pictope. It was growing really well there, and instead of trimming with scissors, I grabbed tweezers and pulled...

Caridina "dark green" sp: color development from juvie to adult

I purchased some Caridina dark green shrimp a few weeks back and put them in my shrimp-only 5.5 gal planted tank. I had mostly juvies but one shrimp was larger than the others.

Does anyone have a good pic of them? How do you distinguish the ugly but helpful nematode from a parasitic worm that could harm your fish/shrimp?

ok last set of pics.

I did. the person was very kind about it. offered a refund but I did not take it because I happen to like the shrimp and again, I did not pay much for them so I felt it wrong to accept the refund.

wow, I did not know they eat moss. I have scuds and lots of moss. The moss seems to be growing in my tank. So I guess if your moss growth outdoes the rate the scuds eat it, you should be fine
