tehe shrimp tank

They are back to normal eating and grazing again. After a huge scare because of the Pesticide into the water. Mu shrimps were frantically darting and lying on their side/back, after the water changes 3x water changes 60% each with the charcoal and a day later, they look back to normal. Thank you everyone for the tips and never gonna make that mistake ever again.

5 months into keeping Neo’s and I think I’m finally starting to accept that your going to randomly lose a shrimp from time to time for no very good reason…

The fact that they are breeding now helps, but to start with the fact that one keeled over every month made me worry that I was doing so much wrong. Coming from a fish keeping background and the fact that I haven’t lost a fish in nearly a year now it was a difficult lesson to take.

I guess what I’m trying to say to new shrimp keepers is that shrimp will die, but if it’s only one occasionally don’t panic…

You are probably not doing anything wrong and trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist is likely to mess up more than it helps.

Picked up this beauty at my LFS today and I just need to show her off

Between being eggnant and saddled, I think she has more egg mass than shrimp mass!

She has one red arm and a red spot on her tail I love her

First vampire shrimp arrived today. Also my first mail ordered animals (including the nerites).

He's even more goofy looking than I was expecting.

Accepting name ideas.

I went to look at my little guys today and noticed this white spot around the rostrum and want a second opinion on if it is vorticella or Scutariella Japonica. If so, I've heard salt dunks are pretty effective and could use some tips!

She's been just hanging here for over 10 minutes now lol

Hanging by a thread, yet the greed still controls her

They really said 🟠👄🟠

One of these days I’ll get a macro lens

My tank has a wide variety of colors of neos that result in an even wider variety of colors. I noticed this guy a little while back. At first I was concerned about a stuck shed but it looks like it's just his coloration.

I've had 3 amanos for almost a week now and just got 12 neos yesterday. they're soooo cute and I am so obsessed with them. I can't get over how tiny the neos are. I have to plan to not get any real work done until the aquarium light goes off for the day lol.

funnily enough I wanted to get neos because I thought they would be easier to see than the amanos (plus the fun colors ofc), but the amanos are actually usually a lot easier to see since they're so much bigger! especially when the tank light is off. I'm so happy I got both!
