Came across a study on using shrimp to eat parasites in the fish farming industry. Excerpt on findings The effectiveness of shrimp in reducing parasites on farmed fish remained unexplored until now. We tested four cleaner shrimp species for their ability to reduce three harmful parasites (a...

Hey all!! I've been eyeing the Fluval Evo 13.5 as my first reef tank, and I've been trying to get an idea on what I wanna stock it with. So far I have the idea of 2 clownfish, an Orchid Dottyback, and some Trochus Snails. I was thinking of adding a cleaner shrimp as well, but I wanted to get...

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...

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.
