shrimp

My little nano tank is thriving. I've moved home and no issues whatsoever. I must admit I'm a little concerned about my birds nest acro but I don't know if she is just being a little stubborn. What do you think? Any recommendations on placement. It's been 3 days so I think they're happy.

Hey everyone! I am going to Frag Farmers Market on Saturday (My sexy shrimp will be on sale there as well) and I want to buy a Blue Hornet Zoa frag. Would it be a bad idea to keep it with a group of 12 sexy shrimp? I've heard they can bother zoas but they will be well fed so will that still be...

Good morning! .. well kind of :anxious-face-with-sweat: This morning I woke up to my adult Skunk Cleaner Shrimp on the sandbed after noticing some odd behavior the night before, 9 days after purchase. Last night I noticed the Skunk Cleaner in his usual spot, upside down surveying the tank...

Trying to gauge if I should take a FB marketplace offer. A guy is tearing down his long time tank due to lack of time to maintain. He is getting rid of 6 shrimp in all split between peppermints and fire cleaner shrimp for a solid price. I have a well established 90 gallon with a pretty decent...

I am currently setting up my Yasha 90 for a few sexy Shrimp but i am concerned that the in take will suck em up. Has anyone a simple idea can help me out ? I was thinking of a guardmesh or aquarium devider where i cut a bit to put zipties through but then i thought for cleaning later will be a...

You see, I have Aiptasias problems, but my old peppermint shrimp died for no reason. I got a CBS a while back thinking it was just a regular shrimp, but I found out that CBS hate other shrimp. As you can imagine, yes, I bought another peppermint, but it arrived TOO small... Shortly after...

New to-be reefer here! I've been planning my first tank and I am planning on having a group of sexy shrimp and a tailspot blenny in a 2.6 gallon Fluval Spec III. I am a bit worried if the blenny will attack and kill my little shrimp babies. If that is the case, a red cap goby would likely be my...

So I usually Put in a piece of shrimp with its shell still on it and the tank on Fridays I usually put it underneath a large rock and I put a big about 3 inch piece of shrimp. I guess one of the hermit crabs dislodged it from the rock. I keep it under and go in and see It’s sticking halfway out...

Too long; didn't read: I lost both a peppermint shrimp and a fire shrimp after using hydrogen peroxide spot treatment to get rid of a bad dinoflagellate outbreak in separate incidents. Both died during the night after treatment. Others have reported similar incidents. Don't use hydrogen peroxide...

Hi, I have a 35 gallon with just a few fish, mostly corals. I already have a valentini & a Randall’s goby. I am wondering whether a pistol shrimp would be safe with the puffer in the tank. This one has eaten all of my emerald crabs. I’m not sure if the shrimp & goby will be able to hold their...

Hey everyone I bought some live rock a year or so ago from KP Aquatics located in FL. I put the rocks in my storage tank and have heard a pistol shrimp snapping all year, never saw him though. Just a few days ago I switched my rock storage to a new tank and finally found him. I know it’s a...

Hi all, I’ve had my two skunk cleaner shrimps together for a month now and woke up today to see my bigger one with eggs near their abdomen! As far as I’m aware this is their first time being a parent so I’m not expecting too much out of it but if the eggs do happen to hatch, how likely will...

So I have a 5 gallon nano tank that currently has a yellowtail damselfish, 4 blue legged hermit crabs, a turbo snail, and a nassarius snail. I've been wanting to get a shrimp but I don't know if the damselfish will get along with it, or if it presents a danger to my crabs. I also have a GSP...

Little gal (actual sex unknown) who came in on some Florida rock. I love her, but for assorted personal reasons I need to stick to animals that can live off of auto-fed dry foods and the various pods that grow in their tanks, and my understanding is that mantises need non-dry foods. I also don't...

Hello Everyone! I am an absolutely beginner with zero hands-on experience in saltwater. I have been researching the saltwater hobby for a little over a year now and I just have a couple of questions. I would like to start a 5.5 gallon nano (pico?) tank (just the basic one from petsmart). I have...

So I've had this cleaner Shrimp for about one week now and this morning I noticed he shedded his skin? I guess I'll remove this from the tank? but is there anything I should keep an eye on?

Hi all, I would like to reinject some shrimps to my tank. It is a new 50g tank, cycled with an established CUC, a BTA, and 5 fishes (Chromis & Chrysiptera). When I setlled my CUC 2 months ago, it included 3 shrimps. 1 died in few minutes due to the trip, the 2 others were found dead 1 month...

Recently purchased a yellow watchman goby and shrimp combo put them in the tank two days ago and haven’t seen them since. Only two days have passed should I be worried I haven’t seen them??? I know they have made a cave already! After adding them (two days ago) I got my water tested and my...

I am planning to keep some live sand as well as a little rumble of live rock on the sand and then 4 frag racks on the stand covering above the sand. My question is would it be ok and...

Hi all, I was at my LFS and finally found a shrimp I've wanted for a while. Anton Bruuni shrimp. The owner nearby asked an inexperienced employee to bag it for me, and the shrimp unfortunately dropped into a small tub in the sink, the water of which was then also dumped into the small bag. I...

Hello, I have a Fluval Evo 13.5 that has been set up since early October of last year. It has had a big algae problem since the beginning and I’ve had different inverts during this time. Currently, I have a tuxedo urchin and three electric blue hermit crabs. The urchin is pretty small but there...
