Background I am having this 5 gallon tank for around 2 years, heavily planted, no CO2, inert substrate. RCS have been thriving in there, population grew from 10 to over 70. A few fish in there too. Normally I do 20-40% weekly water change and have never missed any. What happened However since...

Can anyone help identify the sex of these RCS?

Hello! This is my first post here, but i have been lurking for a few years finding answers to my questions about everything i have wondered for my 54L (14gal) tank during these years. That being said, i now have a pretty spesific question that i think i need a post for myself to get answers to...

Hey all, I started with 3 RCS and now I have about 40-50 in my 15 gallon. All my parameters are great. Temp is 76-80 degrees and never changes. I add little water to the tank weekly because I have no lid so a lot of the water evaporates. All my shrimp look super red and are healthy. I'm on my...

Last week I started a 3.4 gallon shrimp tank. It contains X'mas moss tied onto coconut shell and another plant (I forget the name). There are: 2 x Otto fish 2 x Neon Tetra (mini) 12 RCS (Surviving ones, initially there were 20 but, some died the first few days when I established the tank)...

I got them shipped to me on Thursday which was 3ish days ago and all the shrimps are big adult sized but no...

Has anyone created a colony using shrimp from multiple LFS? Thus, Adding a lot of variety to the gene pool. Is it a good idea?

is it safe to put rcs in a miracle gro dirted tank

I decided to start this little thread for people to share any dumb thing (or problem) they have run into when keeping shrimp! Here is my story: I set up a new shrimp tank about 3 months ago. I let the tank cycle for two months and even added a couple mystery snails to help out. I planted some...

Hello All, Does anyone have some fire red cherry shrimps to sell or give away? Please send me PM. - Igor

I have a 20 long set up with guppies, platies, 2 otos, 1 pygmy cory and RCS. I have bamboo tubes, cholla wood, moss, plenty of floating plants as well as various stem plants….i.e. lots of hiding places. I would see shrimp here and there- I can’t really get a good look inside the cholla wood but...

I got some variety of mosses and I'm trying to make a moss carpet. But I was wondering what is the fastest way or the technique to grow them faster?

Somewhat new to this forum and still trying to figure out how to post things so I hope this works. I am about to setup my dream tank and I want to do everything perfect I have two planted 55 gallon tanks and I just ordered a72 gallon Aqueon bow front in one of my tanks I have a black ghost knife...

So I planted my 46 gallon bowfront a week ago. 70% of the substrate is planted. I used crypts, java fern, hygrophila corymbosa compact, hydroctyle leucocephala, bacopa carolina, dwarf sag, jungle vallisneria, and large amount of ludwigia palistris. I plan on adding another form of hygro...

I was doing a w/c on my OEBT/Red 10G tank yesterday and realized that I already have two different groups of PFR/RCS/Sakura shrimplets! One group of at least 6 were born last Wednesday (I think), and are clearly red tinged (< 1/8"). Then, I found a bunch of shrimpies that are extremely tiny...

Ok so I have a 20 gallon long tank (just upgraded yippee!) and a couple red plants that have the potential (and I want) to be REALLY red. I have a Coralife 30inch T5HO and a live stock of cherries and threadfins. Right now I have and am dosing Flourish Iron about 1ml about 2-3 times a week. I...

Hey Everyone! So this tank has been up and running for several months now but a number of factors caused me to rethink my plans :) So a few weeks ago I had to leave town for work and it was a full 8 days before I saw my aquarium again. Unfortunate timing because I had some plants...
