shrimp

I have 2 black/white ocellaris clowns, and the three shrimp I added to the tank are DESPERATE to clean them. The clowns simply aren't having it. Could this be because they are tank raised and have never seen/experienced this behavior before or because they just aren't usually ok with being...

I set up a new 20 gallon tank today, just for fun. I added a small cleaner shrimp, cc star, HOB filter, light and sand. Will these two cohabitate long term? Will they have to be moved? thanks in advance!

Who’s currently aquaculturing a variety of: • Photosynthetic sponges • Photosynthetic gorgonians • Rarer inverts • Cleaner shrimp, etc.? I’d love to support them and give them kudos. It’s hard to find a reliable source of these that are 100% aquacultured.

hello all I have a question about my melanuras wrasse (butchered the spelling). I know they are generally peaceful and are considered reef safe. I love shrimp and I had 2 cleaner shrimp in my tank a few months back. One died mysteriously after having a few broken antennas. A few weeks later my...

Since I got a saltwater fish tank I’ve wanted shrimp of some sort, but I don’t know jf my tank could handle it. I have a 10 gallon innovative marine with 2 black and white clowns a fire fish and snails and crabs. The tank already has a decent bio load so I’m not sure if a shrimp is too risky...

Hi. I’ve tried purchasing cleaner shrimp multiple times now from LA... every time I try to add them they seem to arrive happy and then struggle during the acclimation. My last order from there I got two skunk cleaners and a blood red. I put the three together in a bucket after floating them...

So I was looking at LiveAquaria, and they offer different options for cleaner shrimp sourcing, ranging from Africa, to Indonesia, and Sri Lanka. Does it matter where they are sourced from? I know for fish, that their colorations and capture methods can vary based on area, but don't think I've...

Small backstory and description of inhabitants: I have a ~50 gallon reef, no sump, that has been running for about 4 years. I started up with 2 ocellaris clowns, 1 ecsenius bicolor and 1 stenopus hispidus shrimp. All of these 4 learned to live together and were the only ones lasting; the...

I'm having trouble getting baby brine to grow out. Spirulina is not working well for me. Can things like Reef Snow, Coral Frenzy, etc be used to grow out baby brine after hatching? Any tips on growing out brine from hatching through large adulthood would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I just lost my Mandarin Dragonet and am looking for another sand-dweller with some cool mannerisms. I used to have a diamond watchman goby, but it jumped out of the temp tank when I was moving houses. I've tried other diamond watchman's in my old 120g, but they would always disappear and then...

Hello, I thought I'd share the results of my burrow build for my watchman/pistol pair. In my previous tank I used PVC pipe cut down the middle to accomplish the same thing. I wanted to make something that looked more like a natural cave system this time. They have been living in the burrow...

Before the addition of my Valentini Puffer, my cleaner shrimp would roam the tank with my 2 clownfish and all was well. Then when I added my Valentini Puffer, the shrimp now hides between two rocks and seems to have lost all his antennas (rn they are all very small).

So I am new to corals and only have one at the moment, a zoanthid. I am only using the stock LED lights that came with my aquarium kit so I was not going to introduce any corals until upgrading my lighting system at all, but it seems I gave in to try out one that was known for not needing much...
