shrimp

All kinds of fun stuff happening here! Looks dull and boring from far but I've been enjoying using the magnifying glass to find all the tiny critters. We started out by accidentally bringing home a Cone Shell Hermit crab inside this Auger shell, threw him in a bucket of water with a nice algae...

I keep watching videos on gobies and pistol shrimp where they mention that there are many species of gobies and shrimp that pair but only some pair with pistol shrimp, yet I can't seem to find any information on goby and shrimp symbiosis without it being a pistol shrimp. Does anyone know of any...

So I’ve had a bi colored angel for about 2 months now and it’s been fine other than nipping at my Kenya tree which I didn’t mind too much. Buh today I just put in a coral banded shrimp in and later I came back and I see the bi colored angelfish chasing all of my other gosh around. I don’t know...

I left my house for 2 days and came back to my tank with these guys in here. Anyone know what these are? The video isn’t very clear but they look like baby shrimps. If this helps, I turned off the lights during those two days to try and get rid of some of my algae and see how they would respond...

Hello everybody, I am setting up an IM Nuvo 10 gallon nano, and for my stocking I was wondering if I could keep 2 Randall’s pistols and a yasha Goby together. I’m not sure if the two pistols will fight? Most people it seems to work out for them but I want to make sure, thanks.

Hey guys. I have a 50 gallon tank I love the inverts. Starfish shrimp, snails, crabs. Can you over do it with inverts. I have two peppermint shrimp that come out at night. I want to get a cleaner shrimp also would love a fire shrimp to give a splash of red. I figure more cuc would balance it...

Do you guys think using Instant Ocean Sea Salt (Purple Bag) is ok to use for a yellow coral banded shrimp? Does it have enough iodine and other trace elements for it. I also have 2, 5 gallon buckets of Instant Ocean Reef Salts. I'm going to guess this one is better, but was just wondering if...

I've been growing copepods for a while in a standalone tank and was wondering, what is the easiest live food to culture? I was thinking maybe Brine shrimp might be easiest but was wondering what people think.

My Rose Bubble Tip Anemone has yet to have bubble like tentacles since I got it over a month ago. Shortly before receiving the anemone the previous owner told me it had split, mine being the mother. I got a fire red shrimp also about a month ago and it has molted three times already. Last...

Hey all first time using this I recently got a g.viridis and he was eating well (I feed him snails) but now he has stopped eating all together, he will punch the snails if I put them in front of him but will not eat them is this a bad sign or is he just preparing to molt. Also he is quite shy...

Pistol Pete is for sale, cost of $0. My Goby jumped after my tank change months ago and i haven't been able to get another pair. If you're looking to pair him I'd add the two at the same time. Worked the first time! He's about 2"

hi y’all! another question.. we caught a coral banded shrimp literally red handed just now with our wheeler goby in his grip.. is this something that happens a lot with those shrimp? we’ve never seen one or caught one in this case doing this! he literally snatched our goby right up in his claw...

Hi, my 15 gallon saltwater tank has been cycling for 6 weeks now. I have been adding special blend bacteria and have been ghost feeding. I have tested my water parameters but am not sure if the tank is safe for a Yasha goby/ pistol shrimp pair. My parameters are: Ammonia= 0.1 Nitrite= 0 Nitrate=...

Hi, I am currently thinking about stocking for my 15 gallon marine tank. I would like a Yasha goby and a candy pistol shrimp (pair them up) I would also like a cleaner shrimp. Would these guys be ok with each other? I’ve heard so many good things about cleaner shrimp but just wanted to ask

Recently just started up a 37g tank, I’m on week 2 of cycling and I had a pair of clown in there to help cycle. I noticed 1/2 clowns started showing signs of ich so I removed them both into a hospital tank and begun treating them. The one experiencing symptoms did not make it, the other clown...

I´ve been searching for serious articles on the role of iodine in invertebrate molting. - There is the hobby the belief that iodine is required for molting and is a required ion for that purpose (not specifically going into dosing controversies). - There is also the belief that iodine dosing...
