Well, I know that most people have shrimp as an addition to a plant or community tank, but I actually had two shrimp that shared a bowl with plant cuttings and...
I just got around to putting up a photo from a month ago of my red-fronted shrimp milky looking. It's at http://userpages.umbc.edu/~rrhudy1/rfs2.jpg and a ...
Hello everyone, I have a teenie shrimp and plants 1.5g hex-tank upgraded with a spiral compact-fluorescent to keep the plants growing (ok, also a couple...
... Clear for the most part when freshly shed, maybe translucent whitish where there's a bit of it piled up (like when another shrimp goes and tramples it into...
Thank you for the detail on the lighting. Co-workers are moving their Bettas from vases w/plants to little acrylic tanks. These have incadescent lights...
... Yes... the smaller compact fluorescents stay cool enough on my acrylic mini-hex. I found 14W bulbs that would fit too, however the killies gave me the...
While there is no direct scientific evidence that f/w shrimp need iodine/iodide, it does appear to help with the molting process. I add it to all my shrimp...
Hi all, a friend of mine writes me that he observes how his Japonica's exert some milky fluid, making the tank water a little opaque. He wonders what it is and...
I am so glad that I'm not the only one who has a "shrimp bowl." I just can't stop watching them. Unlike my fish, the shrimp always seem to have work to do. ...
Hi Is this a Macrobrachium Lanchesteri? (attachment) I bought eight of them, now only three left. Some got "white", others did not eat. Maybe somebody have...
<<Is this a Macrobrachium Lanchesteri? (attachment) >> I can find only two pictures of M. lanchesteri, neither of which look like your specimen. See ...
<<If I am not mistaken, iodine is a trace element thing, too much would be bad. I mean, we use it to kill germs on cuts, and I think we all remember how much...
Frans, I have no idea. This is he first time I've heard of this. I have over 200 of these shrimp right now, and I've seen nothing like that happening. Where on...
Robyn, your photos are interesting. None of my RFS have gone milky like that, even before molting. Actually, I take that back: the older ones will go milky...
<<I feel so bad about it. He was such a cool shrimp.>> I really don't think that it was the soap. It would take a good dose of the perfume or soap to kill the...
My weekly visit to Petsmart - staff greet me with new question from another cusotmer- Hobbyist has a largish fish that needs live foods. He wants to try...
... live foods. He wants to try raising some feeders at home. CAN a Ghost Shrimp colony produce enough to be a good food source? My answer was "no" << ...
Hi Frank, Thanks for writing back! I forwarded your question about what crevice the milky fluid is exerted from, to the Dutch man who asked me about this ...
Or at least that is their nic name....They just send me more because the first suppy nothing happened....one lived for about a week...I was motivated to buy...
Leigh, I will report this info next time I'm out at Petsmart. I told the staff I would run this idea by the group. Thanks, dd "cockroaches" - I like...
Thank you so much Frank. I know he was just a little shrimp, but I was so disappointed when he died. I really, really wish I knew why he croaked, but his...
Don't waste your money on "sea monkies." They are just brine shrimp (Artemia). You can buy brine shrimp eggs at your LFS for cheaper, and hatch them in an...

<<I'm also lucky with the Red Crystal caridinas, and I gave two dozen to a friend here who is now trying to breed them as well.>> They don't appear to be...

Nanne's a fanatic in creating as close a copy of nature as he can. In his little shop he frequently shies away customers who consider fish to be like fresh cut...
