A photo of my new Crystal Red Shrimp. Starting with a colony of 11 and hoping to grow and sell these in the future. It is my first time with caridina shrimp and so hopefully i encounter no issuesFor the best experience view this post on Liketu

Hello Hivians!Today is water change day for the Blue Velvet Shrimp Tank. Shrimp like steady water parameters therefore it is essential to not change too much water in one go. It is also essential to not allow nitrates to build up too much in your tank (ammonia and nitrites also, but shouldn't have any in a cycled tank)

Hello Hivians! I believe i will soon have 'berried' (preganant) shrimp! When a female shrimp molts their exoskeleton, they release pheromones into the water. During this molt they are at their most vulnerable due to the lack of exoskeleton, therfore they hide. You can tell a female has molted by all the males swimming around the tank frantically, trying to find the female (this can also be due to poor water conditions)

Hello Hivians! I am a fish keeper, and have been for a number of years now. I have 2 aquariums and recently combined the fish from them, which freed up the smaller of the tanks. I believe the tank is a Fluval Flex 57 litre, but i could be mistaken as it was bought 2nd hand. Unfortunately due to the curvature of the front of the tank it makes taking photos a bit harder
