  2. I would like as many people as possible to lead me to the best shrimp food for their nutritional intake as well as biggest and cheapest amount for me. Spending 20$ or a little less for a tiny little container is a little much for me. Worth it for CRS or more expensive shrimp I guess. But I am just asking. Is the shrimp dinner the best one or is there others? I've ran out of the high quality stuff and resorted back to algae wafers like I usually do. Are the algae wafers not enough nutrition? Because we can all get a lot of those off ebay etc. I usually get them at PetCo though. Thanks for your input if you have any! I will continue to do research here and on google to see about different foods. Thanks guys http://www.theshrimptank.com/foods/glasgarten-shrimp-dinner/
  3. Preferably a large amount with high quality being consistent. Which is hard to provide I know. That is what I am looking for. RCS mainly and any other colors you can offer. Less amount and high quality for a decent price may do as well. Anyone know any wholesale dealers? I am going to Sun Pet soon to see their selection. text me for fastest response Joey Shannon 7702359065 Atl, Ga for shipping information
  4. If we all put in, could someone make a Shrimp Spot app???? Please?? Use gofundme or whatever or collect from here we can all put in thatd be cool.
  5. Hello everyone. Sorry for the typos etc I was just curious and had a few questions about selective breeding etc. it's mainly for RCS and CRS if you could answer CRS that's great but mainly RCS questions. So I need to keep the quality up and consistent for RCS or any other shrimp that I am breeding and I wanted to ask how to do that. I may answer my own questions who knows but I wanted to see if you guys had any advice. Sorry if I sound idiotic. I am asking and speaking about this stuff because trial and error and experimenting will take so long maybe a year or so. Please let me know if you can use your experiences to help me out. Your words and thoughts are extremely valuable. Question one is how do I keep the quality consistent? I have heard inbred shrimp are the reason for declining quality. Question two is how would I increase the quality of RCS if possible and/or CRS if anyone could also answer that. I was thinking of just using two great quality shrimp as breeders. Instead of just throwing 30+ or 100 shrimp in a tank and letting them do their thang. So theoretically if I put two RCS in a 2.5 or whatever tank by them selves. Wait for them to breed, if they do. And once she is pregnant I would have a empty 2.5 or whatever to acclimate her to that tank to let her release the eggs and stuff over time. Then acclimate her back with same male shrimp as before. **So would they continuously produce the same quality shrimp?** So, also that tank with the babies id suck them out and very slowly acclimate them to a much larger grow out tank. And possibly separate the males and females when they get older to prevent inbreeding and prevent from wrong shrimps breeding and producing less quality shrimp. possibly selectively breed from there if it is a good idea to separate the sex's? Or would they kill each other if males and females are separated I'm not sure.
  6. If you just read the first reply I sent to you anyone can tell I'm just trying to help. I may have a few years of experience but doesn't mean I know what I'm talking about. Initially I said: Do at least a 50% WC before you add more shrimp and add some Prime to condition the water and some safe start. Make sure your HOB filters are clean just rinse them and clean them in fresh conditioned water if they are dirty and clean the glass and sand or gravel *before* the WC and run the clean filters. So when you clean and start it back up it puts a bunch of bad stuff directly into the new water you just out in. Just trying to help and give advice
  7. I have shipped so many shrimp on eBay and that is stressful. It helps to use the kordon bags that breathe through the bags. But imagine riding in a USPS car or ups truck being delivered it's always going to be stressful and I haven't had an issue ever with getting shrimp or delivering them. Even the extra shrimp for doa has always made it probably. Just being honest bud. No one shakes up the bags and sends you shrimp they want you to be happy and enjoy your live inverts, we all love our aquariums etc
  8. Just because I didn't spell very well just now and use correct grammar doesn't mean I'm an idiot either lol sorry bud but just trying to help like I said initially. Just trying to comfort you and let you know you can do whatever you want and others will always be there to help you
  9. No not at all I wasn't talking about anyone's tanks at all just saying all shrimp are pretty hardy except CRS to my knowledge and that isn't from research it's just from keeping shrimp and breeding them. I have 6 20L tanks on 3 double stand and 2 29high and 3 55 tanks and stuff reef tanks planted community tanks and I work st a very reputable LFS but it doesn't matter about all that. I wasn't saying anything bad about your tanks at all man that is way far away from what I was actually talking about. Just trying to let you know shrimp are hardy and can deal with a lot when kept by themselves.
  10. Well no matter what you shrimp should be dying unless they are being eaten. Unless they are CRS of course. I've had all types of shrimp only tanks doing fine even with a WC a month. Doesn't mean they are happy though if they are surviving. But even then they will live for quite a while but won't be happy in bad parameters. Just buy some off eBay or on here and you should be fine. Do at least a 50% WC beforehand and add some Prime to condition the water and some safe start. Make sure your HOB filters are clean just rinse them and clean them in fresh conditioned water if they are dirty and clean the glass and sand or gravel before the WC.
