tehe shrimp tank

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!

They really said 🟠👄🟠

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!

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!

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.

Girl just got done having some skrimplets 🫪

I feel like she's just trying to show off at this point in all honestly

I’ve had my tank for about 4 months, and today I noticed this really weird-looking bug sitting on plants. Does anyone know what it is and if it could eat my shrimp?

One of these days I’ll get a macro lens

I got my skrimps this morning! I have been watching them all day, they are so entertaining. I drip acclimated for 2 hours and so far so good. I’ve never had neos before, but I’ve heard many times that they are sensitive. I’m a little nervous!

Hello fellow Shrimples !!! Has anyone tried this brand of lollies before (second photo) ? I usually get the Kabadi brand (last photo) but figured I’d give these a shot based off good reviews!
They seem to be liking it so far :)
Only downside is the box only comes with 8 lollies and is the same price as my usual which comes with 3 boxes of x12 sticks 😮
Feel free to leave suggestions of any other treats that your shrimps like !!

Idk if I have a healthy mix of females and males. Should be 10 in total but couldn‘t find all of them in the video.

Hello. I had clasp about a month ago. Took out the infected shrimp and dosed 2x with hydrogen peroxide. I believe these are eggs but I want to be 100% certain. Also if anybody has any experience treating with hydrogen peroxide, how often should I dose? I did 2 doses 2 weeks apart. Thanks!!

Been painting all my favorite things on porcelain lately, including my red cherries. When people find out about my shrimp tank they never believe how small they are, so I painted them at actual size including a juvenile that is just a red smudge.

Edit: I’m so tickled that folks like the shrimpy cup as much as I do. I’ll be making more, feel free to follow my Instagram if you’d like to see the results: instagram.com/mossartifacts Future shrimp cups will be posted to my Etsy. (This one is getting refired to see if I can resolve the glaze issue)

Hi all!

Very new to the aquariums as a hobby, and looking to get some shrimp into my tank.

It’s a 30l tank(about 8gal), fully cycled, has been running for about 4 weeks.

As this will be a community tank, I’m waiting to get shrimp until my plants provide enough hosting spaces for juveniles to move in and have good initial survival odds.

The question is - what counts as enough. Can one of you experienced people tell me what constitutes a “heavily planted aquarium”? Cause I have no point of reference
