shrimp

I havent posted about my pair of Allardi's for a while, so I thought I would share some videos of them enjoying one of their larger breakfasts. I have decided not to risk keeping cleaner shrimp or peppermint shrimp in my aquarium anymore, as mine keep disappearing. I think they have developed a...

Hey everyone, so this is not exactly my first time setting up a saltwater tank. But ive never tried cycling with shrimp, so ive decided to do it with my new tank. It is 210 gallons, and ive put in 2 chopped up table shrimp (in a filter bag) in the sump. And ive been letting it rot in there for...

So I was feeding my tank earlier and noticed one of my cleaner shrimp looks like it has eggs attached to it, I was wondering is there a way to tell if they are fertile or if they will survive. Also if they hatch how likely are they to survive. I believe one of them has just molted so it might...

So I just purchased 2 cleaners on Friday, I've had them before and had one for nearly 2 years, love these guys, but these two were doing great until earlier today. At literally the exact same time, they went down to the sand bed away from the rock and just say these moving their arms and...

Okay guys, the last addition to my current tank before I upgrade to my new one later this summer is going to be a Hi-fin Red Banded Goby and Pistol Shrimp. Here's my question/concern, I have aragonite for a sand bed which is fairly course. I've been told that the Red Banded Goby is not a sand...

Can my rock anemone eat my cleaner shrimp? It sure looks he’s sticking out of the anemone right now and I can’t find him elsewhere. I’m hoping this is just a molt, do anemones eat that? Second new reefer question while I’m posting the picture. This is an established tank but was probably...

This tank’s specs are: - dimensions: 81 x 26 x 24” - 210 gallons - sump is 3/4 of the tank. - 50 gal fuge (just in case) - over qualified skimmer - sulfur reactor - media reactor...

Just curious, my cleaner shrimp molted & I was wondering if I should leave it in there or take it out? Is it nutritious for him?

Hi, I just picked up a small gold maxima clam today. I drip acclimated it for about 2 hours, and added it to my tank. I watched it a bit and all seemed fine so I walked away for a while. A couple of minutes went by and I went to check on it and that’s when I noticed my cleaner shrimp picking at...

Hi everyone! I am from middle tennessee/ north of Nashville. My brother and I have maintained 2 fresh water tanks and a salt water for about 3, maybe 4 years now. Thankfully we haven't failed horribly since our first tank. We currently have an average array of "easy" fish, but the main reason...

Hi guys, I used to have a 29g tank and I decided to upgrade to something a little bigger, so I got a 55g. Now that I have a little more space, I would like to add some extra fishies ☺️. At the moment I have the following: A saddleback clownfish, an ocellaris, a yellow watchman goby paired with a...

My cleaner shrimp has been hiding for the past week or so. I can see him under a rock and he’s living but his antennas are pretty much gone. I’ve been spot feeding him to make sure he eats and he does. Any ideas?

Anyone have a harlequin shrimp that has done it’s job and you are maintaining and would like to sell??

Do Lima shrimps require Lima clams to live? I was thinking about getting a pair for my nano tank, but wasn't sure if they needed a clam to live... I'd rather not keep a flame scallop since they have a bad track record of success.

I began working on this tank June 9th 2019. It's an all-in-one Fluval Evo 13.5 XII that sits on my nightstand and is a species tank for mantis shrimp. This thread is to document my journey building this nano system and learning how to care for the fascinating animals inside. Here is some...

I'm very interesting in obtaining a coral croucher, but I am very worried about the compatibility of them with certain types of invertebrates. I was planning to keep a tank with a group of pom pom crabs, sexy shrimps, a Randall's snapping shrimp, and fire shrimps. However, I am wary of getting a...
