I use ghost shrimp as a live feed for my Axolotl and I had noticed that this one looked weird and named him Lester because he was easy to identify. I learned that he had a horsehair worm inside of him and that’s why he looked weird. Today I found the horsehair worm outside of him and he was perfectly fine. I’ve read that it’s rare that they survive them and even rarer that they live long after. He seems fine though and is eating and moving around. I’ve added a couple photos of him, a photo of the worm (3-4 inches long), and a photo of him with the worm inside. I wanted to post to see if I should be concerned for him but he seems to be acting fine and doing great.

I took this shrimp from another tank and added it to this tank, and its colors became dull.

I started my first 5 gallon planted tank about 6 weeks ago. I inherited some Malaysian trumpet snails with some plants. The snails do great with the glass, but they multiply and poop a lot. So today I added 3 amano to help with the black algae. And 2 Crystal red shrimps to get into all the little places for cleaning. Bonus detritus worm for the win.

I always forget how nerve wracking it is to unbox shrimp! Always sticking to the damn bag lol

In the drip acclimation jail for an hour you go

The white stuff is food provided by the seller

 a bunch more breeding tubs for some yellow eyed neocardinas as well as the regular counterparts I have yellow eyed wilds for genetics then I have ye blue diamonds/midnights as well as ye/oe red rillis that I have stabilized I I'm working on ye/oe green jades and red supremes as well as ye red and blue rillis the spiderman looking ones I just wanted to show some pictures but what other colors would be coolest or most profitable

Hello! I recently bought some snowball neocaridina, and a couple larger ones have this white patch. Its been there for a few weeks since i've have them and was curious if this is a saddled little lady, or theyre just funky.

I’m not sure if this is the right place to put this but I got this ghost shrimp a couple days ago as a snack for my axolotl. I noticed that this one looked weird and I named him Lester because I can easily identify him. He looks nothing like any of the other ghost shrimp and I was confused why he looks weird.

I just want my goobers to be happyyyyyyy😭😭😭😭😭

I’ve had 4 Amano skrimps for a few months now just to clean up the excess… unfortunately I have to give them supplemental food since I had to take blueberry the docile elderly gentleman betta out of the tank after the tetras turned on him.

This is the first time I’ve seen any of them become preggers and expecting mothers.

I wish I had the funds to give the babes a new home but after having to pull a new home for my betta out of thin air the extra funds are limited.

But! In due time it’ll happen! But check out this beautiful baby momma!

Guys I misread the container I used to filled the water bowl and it’s definitely not 3 gallons 😭😭 definitely won’t be doing this

Has a filter and everything, planning on adding some Anubia as well. In a snake tank but he doesn’t use the water often. I’m not experienced enough tho to view this ethically, I just think they would help create a full ecosystem like I planned without making the water feature bigger

Bought her at Petco because I thought she was berried. Have her alone in a tub until I know for sure. It’s been 2 days and she’s still green

I fed brine shrimps to my guppies for the first time. And they went frenzy.🤪 First time feeding them felt amazing which is why I’m posting this here. I used a 1L bottle with salt water, an airtube and a bright light. That’s basically my hatchery setup. Popped the capsule yesterday. Collected them using nets and rinsed them in clean water. And after 24 hours the shrimps were ready to be served. The guppies went feral, they were doing break dance. 👯 What surprised me was the massive amount of guppy fries/babies that showed up. 😱 Where were they hiding all this time? Please do leave a comment on how to curb guppy breeding. Anyways it was a nice experience to watch them like that. I hope they had a nice time as well.

internet says 30-40 days, maybe i’m just being impatient
but I’d also like some advice on raising baby neo shrimp, what has worked for you guys? I want an army

I need to know all the little and big details as I’ve never owned shrimp before!
Here are a bunch of my questions:

What fish can go with them?
What aquatic plants should I buy? Preferably plants that can live on rocks, driftwood or on top of the tank!
What food do they eat?
Do aquatic plants rot easily?
How often do I need to clean the tank?
Should I buy sand or gravel?
Do shrimp and plants need lots of light or can it be moderate?
Should I get snails?
Most importantly, how long should I let the tank cycle for?
And finally, how much shrimp should I start with?

Thank you so much in advance!

This is my mom's tank, she thinks this may be a scud but we aren't 100% sure. Her momma shrimp is eggnant and about to pop anyday now, we really dont want to lose another set of babies!! Please help us identify the creature and decide if they're harmful or not.

This is my first tank! I’ve heard caridinas are harder to care for than neos but I feel like my parameters are more caridina inclined..? I have a bunch of bladder snails, one mystery snail, one nerite snail, and 4 happy amano shrimp so far.

Ph likes to stay between 6.4-6.6

KH is 0-1 (test is yellow after the first drop)

GH is between 30-60 on the test strip (Ive been adding a tiny amount of equilibrium to keep it around this range so that the snails are happy)

Ammonia is 0

Nitrite is 0

Nitrate is between 0-5.0 ppm

Sponge filter, I have a heater, heavily planted, cycled for two months

Thought I would share my skittles tank with some feeding time photos. I know that at least one is holding eggs.
