    I'm planning on upgrading my 80l (20g) tank to a 245l (ca 65g) one and thinking about adding a pair of pearl gouramis to it. I currently have 10 ember tetras, 4 amanos, a bunch of ramshorn snails and a large colony of cherry shrimp. Once the new tank is established I'm thinking about getting...

    Looking to move my red cherry shrimp to a new 20L. They currently live in a heavily planted 29g tank and all water changes are done with remineralized distilled water. The new tank will also be planted. My question is if they will succeed in my dechlorinated tap water. Picture attached. E

    I've recently set up a 3 gallon planted bowl and added 5 fire red cherry shrimps 3 days ago, seeded established filter media and cycled for about a month. When I first added them in, they were actively swimming and roaming in the open but after a few hours, all of them went into hiding, I only...

    I am very, very new to shrimp keeping and aquariums in general. I care for a tank in a local library. The tank is a 10gal that was being cared for in a local pet shop. There are 7 neon tetras and I believe 12 dwarf shrimp. The tank came planted with a variety of live plants in sand, with a...

  12. Shrimp & Other Invertebrates
    Hello! As stated, I'm a newbie to shrimp. We have a seasoned, planted paludarium tank that we finally felt was ready to add shrimp after supporting two snails and a few black neon tetras for a little over a month. We purchased the cherry shrimp a few days ago, and I know the tank parameters...

    Hi everyone, I’m trying to achieve good parameters for my Cherry Shrimp but I am having trouble. My tanks GH is 125.02ppm and the TDS is around 330pmm. Is the GH too low and how would I raise it without further increasing the TDS? Also, is the TDS of 330ppm ok for Cherry shrimp and would it...

    Fairly new to owning fish and noticed while I was walking past my tank tonight I noticed the tail end of a cherry shrimp lying on the floor of my tank. Pretty sure it wasn’t there less than a few hours before. Not sure what could have happened to it. We have 6 cherry barbs, one of which seems to...
  15. Shrimp & Other Invertebrates
    I got a batch of shrimp from several breeders about 1 month ago. The first day, or three they were fine, then the deaths kept happening. I was losing 1 per day, or 2 per every 2-3 days. I didn’t know my water was soft (almost RO water, practically.) Since then, I have added Seachem Equilibrium...

    I have quite a few blue velvets, and I've noticed that in all of the pictures of small aquarium shrimp that I've seen, I've never actually seen a purple variation. I know the basics of color say that red and blue make purple, but I also know that red cherry shrimp and blue velvet will make...
