shrimp

I have a 5.5 gallon tank with about 5 adult shrimp,10 baby shrimp, planted, sponge filter,driftwood, and some rocks. Every time I do a 50% water change I get high nitrates in a day or two. Nitrate goes up to 40ppm which is very bad for my shrimp. Does anyone have any advice as to why the nitrate...

Hi. Totally in love with my pair of coral banded shrimp. Do they shed they’re shell or exterior anyone?! I could’ve sworn i seen 1 floating through the tank dead to my horror & surprise found it under the rock few days later back with its buddy.

Hello coral friends! I have an infestation of alviopora, and was asking if I can introduce a peppermint shrimp to my family, given it's current inhabitants. Asking for any suggestions for doing so. Thank you for taking your time to read this! Modifications: I have a very healthy 7 month old...

I have a pico that I've been keeping corals and nems succesefully for months (zoas, ricoria, rock flowers) and I really want some sort of invert but I keep killing my shrimp and I have no idea why. Tank is definitely cycled, ammonia and nitrite is at 0 and nitrate in the tank is lower than the...

My peppermint shrimp laid eggs and I guess they hatched ?? I’m just shocked, they are flying all around and there’s a lot of them dying I’m sure.. I don’t know what to do!! I have a 30 gallon tank, 7-8 weeks in I have one tailspot Blenny and one neon goby (just some to start off) 2...

At some point in the future, I would like to set up an aquarium with only invertebrates like snails, crabs, shrimp, brittle stars, and so on. (no fish or corals!) These are in my opinion, some of the most fascinating members of the aquarium hobby and reef ecosystems in general! So naturally I...

I've got a 5 gallon nano tank and would like to add in something unique and seen a lot of people using pistol shrimp however I see mixed opinions as so many people have witnessed them go on murderous rampages in a small tank. I have two hi fin goby on order and wanted to get a candy cane to go...

Hi gang! My little guy has a trilobite shaped critter on the left side of his body underneath one of his spots. Can anyone help me treat/identify this? Manual removal, soak etc. it looks like some sort of predatory isopod and am worried it could spread to my 6 sexy shrimp.

My Fire Shrimp had a normal molt and for fun I looked at the old exoskeleton under my microscope. Is there a way to find out what sort of things live on a shrimp normally? Or if some of these little guys just live in the saltwater in general? Interested if anyone has good resources or knowledge...

Re-entering reefing after being gone for 8 years, the price of Cleaner Shrimp has surprised me most. Before I throw 2.5 hours of work (of my wage) on a prawn, how long do you all have your shrimps for? Back in the day I recall them being a bit more sensitive? But I was newer to the hobby and...

Hi Everyone, Today I purchased one red fire shrimp from local fish store and when I came home then only I notice he don't have 2 left legs I am worried I did not noticed in local fish store so I know Its my fault but do they grow back as I am new to this hobby? Thank you.

- hey do you have aiptasia? I'm hungry. Yes I would like to buy a shrimp to attempt killing aiptasia. Its a hit and miss, yes, I read the disclaimer. I'm in south carolina upstate.

Just curious if I’m doing this right. I have a currently 20 inch long zebra moray eel in my 310 gallon. After a week in my tank he’s finally started eating. I fed him a piece of raw uncooked table shrimp. And then 3 days later I fed him a scallop. Plan on feeding him again again tomorrow. I have...

https://youtube.com/shorts/nv32GWivRPU?feature=share What are these guys doing? I thought I had ID'd them as a male and a female so I am wondering if they are fighting, establishing territory, mating? I am really not sure but it is very interesting.

Hi, and here again with another document about shrimp all because I was scrolling through R2R forums as usual and I heard about Bongo shrimp and fell in love with how beautiful they are, so I started doing some research on other unique species of shrimp and in the end decided to make a document...

I've had a yellow watchman goby and a tiger pistol for roughly 5 years. They lived great together doing what they do. After reading about their lifespan and not seeing the shrimp near the tunnel holes for about 6 months I figured he had died. I decided to get the goby a new buddy. They paired...

TLDR: I want to add a sexy shrimp or two. Alright everyone my Small but Mighty tank is up and running, has been showing stable parameters and good growth so I would love to add my first invert. A sexy shrimp. Currently we have no inverts or fish so it will be the first addition to our tank...

As an avid freshwater enthusiast, I absolutely love freshwater shrimp, especially since they will breed constantly and keep their populations high without much effort. Now, of course any saltwater critter might take some more elbow grease to get breeding, but I'd still love to have some version...

Hi, Im trying to restart my tank aiming for a bristle worm free tank (I know bristle worms are good CUC but I just have mental problem with them so my tank cant have them and please dont attach any worm related images or ill freak out thanks). I know as a fact there are tons of them in my tank...

I have a 16 gallon mixed reef tank that already has a pincushion urchin, fire shrimp, coco worms, rock flowers, and a couple of snails. I also have a pistol shrimp. Unfortunately the pistol shrimp never comes out during the day and loves to grab corals and pull them into its lair at night (even...

I have a small 17gallon aquarium and yesterday I went out and bought a coral banded shrimp not realizing how agressive they are and that it would eat my sexy shrimp, my question is which other cleaner shrimp should I buy? A pacific (skunk) cleaner shrimp or a peppermint shrimp? Fish plans: 2x...
