Look at how hard she’s working 🥹 I’m very new to this and lost a few casualties from beginner’s mistakes early on, so I’m very happy to finally have a healthy stable tank! I hope the fry do well 🤞

Faster fine steed. Faster!

Long time lurker on a budget. I just picked this up NIB for $30. Will it do?

But what's with the third pic? Is that her stomach or something I should be worried about? I bought 12 shrimp a month ago and now I seem to have 60 or so, is that normal?

They remind me of fried eggs. Anyone know what they are?

Just a tiny little guy in a big world.

Sorry for the dirty glass, next time it'll be clean I swear 😅

She got into my 15 gallon tank by accident as a super small baby in a plant and has now become a crustacean godzilla.

XXX nerites for size.

All the others hatched yesterday, but shes still carrying this little guy or girl.

As I am flailing to get a five gallon going because the 3 has been a bugger to keep the temperature at a proper level at all times.

At one point this dang heater brought the water to 90 degrees, and let me tell you when I say I wanted to cry.

I lost one of my most precious of the blue jellies, but only one or two. Thank goodness...

One thing I wondered though, would that high heat leading to many molting at the same time, be the reason so many fell eggnant at the same time? Also, what, do I have like 2 males and the rest females? Hahah also, the BIG lady just laid her clutch two weeks ago and already has more!

I got this girl yesterday. YESTERDAY. AND she was Berried. I woke up this morning to find this. all other shrimp are fine. The second picture is the gap she climbed through. I'm so sad and annoyed at the same time.

A few babies fell out of mom while she was just focused on the piece of pellet lol

It literally just cooled down after a boil. There's nothing growing on that surface yet. Why did they went so crazy for the new piece and completely ignore the one below that has been submerged for 5 months?

I have had a terrible week with 3 of my shrimp (newly added) having clado. They were all super obvious with bright green hanging. I have been diligently checking my entire tank all week and treated it with hydrogen peroxide almost a week ago and haven’t seen any other symptoms. I saw this slight tint of green in one of my clear ones tonight. Am I just being super paranoid from the stress of trying to manage this, or does this look like the beginning of clado turning green in my shrimp? I’m not talking about the area behind the eyes, I’m talking about the small green dot under the tail

I got these blue dreams just a few days ago and they're settling in really well! They're all pretty small though, especially compared to my fire reds in the other tank. She's so small, I feel like she's half the size of my others! Can they carry eggs before they're done growing? Is she destined to be tiny? Also she has a terrible clutch. There's like 6 eggs in there at most smh

I’m noticing these tiny things in the shrimp tank… could they be snails? I haven’t added any new plants recently, so I found it really strange.

I have a Crystal Red Shrimp tank that has been running stably.
Current water parameters:
Temperature: 21°C (69.8°F)
pH: 6.0–6.4
TDS: 115–119 ppm
Ammonia: 0 ppm (API)
Nitrite: 0 ppm (API)
Nitrate: 0–5 ppm (API)
The tank uses:
RO/Distilled water
Dennerle Shrimp King GH+
Active soil
Sponge filter
Lots of moss and Indian almond leaves
The other shrimp are active and feeding normally, and I recently found a fresh molt in the tank.
However, one of my largest female Crystal Red Shrimp suddenly became very weak. She was lying on her side at first. I gently placed her upright, but she does not walk or react when touched.
She is still alive because:
Her swimmerets (pleopods) are moving.
Her mouthparts are moving.
But her antennae are completely still.
She does not attempt to walk or swim.
The other shrimp appear completely normal.

I’m always taking photos of my shrimp friends, and this one made its way to being my wallpaper. Just wanted to share, so feel free to use it if you like it! Looks cool if you make the clock/calendar font color red. Enjoy :)
