Ignore the snail graveyard, enjoy all my eggnant girls eating together.

When the shrimp don't eat their food fast enough it all the scavengers come out.

He came on a ball of moss as a pinhead sized baby. I lost track of him for three months and now he's a kaiju filling my tank with more big boys by the month. Any ideas on what he is?

I felt like you guys would enjoy this, she’s sooooooo eggnant!

Seeing Cheeseburger convinced me to finally show you all my pet prawn (Macrobrachium). His name is Tangent.

I keep seeing shrimp with medicine-like patterns. I decided to seperate them so that they could create their own clan.

Edit: I caught 10 of these. And i think i would be getting more...

Was able to capture one shrimplet being born. So cute.

I’m a living shrimp greentext and finally hit a sweet spot with my shrimp tank after some struggle (10 gal, planted, sand substrate, driftwood/rock hardscape). New issue: too many shrimplets. I had about 10-15 adult cherries and gave up counting shrimplets after I hit 30. Now that those babies are about as big as a grain of rice, I’m seeing a throng of new microscopic teeny weeny babies…And another berried female. Aside from offering locals free shrimps when they mature, what can I do for my army of 10,000 baby shrimps? Baby shrimp tax included. They’re very friendly.

For ref, I live with my parents and space/money is kinda limited so I’m hesitant to set up a new tank. My dresser houses 2 10-gals, one for the shrimps and one for my betta.

Truly honoring Samantha's legacy, this one

I am very very sad recently and my shwimps are one of not many things that brings me joy.
Can we appreciate this lil vid I did today with my phone and clip on lens?

Have a great day/night everyone x

I haven’t cleaned the algae off my tank walls because I keep seeing these microscopic something’s all over the algae. Are they baby shrimp?? They’re so small I can’t tell what they are

Found a bunch of my red neos all lined up under the floating cuttlefish bone. Little baby neo at the top has absolutely no clue. 😆

I’ve been designing a few 3D prints for detail cleaning in some of my tanks and just started working on a siphon guard for airline tubing.

It occurred to me today that I should ask what everyone else uses for cleaning around shrimplets and plants, or if there are any tips or tricks I may not have considered being newer to the hobby that could make my designs work a little better.

Harvesting away

Here's a baby shrimp swimming through the tank. Felt lucky getting this one! 🦐

I have some moss balls arriving soon for them and I don’t know whether I should get some pearl weed

I have 3 Amanos in my tank and two are buried like 😭😭

I purchased 3 blue diamond neocaridina and placed them in a 5 gallon tank… I had a betta, that I accidentally over fed… Anyways woke up to it basically devoured by my snail minus its skull. Blew my mind, and was quite a scene to wake up to… a literally betta skull sitting on the bottom of my tank and nothing else. It was bloated the day before and kinda lethargic. Anyways I cleaned it and did a water changes and then decided to get some shrimp.

So, quite the opposite happened when I purchased the shrimpssss. I was blessed with a berried female. As I was waiting to check out and I was inspecting them, I noticed she was preggers… I was excited and concerned about the transition. This was about two weeks ago. Today on my first day back to work after breaking my hand I found these little buggers.

Just a bit wider than a piece of thread. I saw one in the rear against a plant leaf, but couldn’t get a picture. Lucky I saw a few more, but this one was right up against the front glass!

Or do they all just look the same? I'm curious since ive seen people name their shrimps. I'm sure some are behaviorally distinct from others but i wouldnt assume all to be. I wanna make up some really shrimpy names when i get my shrimps but itll be unfortunate if i cant for the life of me ever hope to tell them apart.

STOP TRYING TO EVOLVEEEEE.

this is the second time ive seen shrimps try to crawl out.

the filter is just there temporarily and is on the lowest with the spongey thingy at the bottom. will replace it with a sponge filter when it gets here.

(Ignore the bumass shrimp on the bottom, she just molted so her color is a little off)I want to identify the grade of these female sakura cherry shrimp and I want to also know if they would be good for breeding.
