Hi Everyone, So 3 weeks ago I started my first shrimp tank project, it was a dual tank aquaponics setup with one tank housing a betta and one tank housing some CRS and RCS. Just wanted to share some good news! I figured that the plants in the tank, and the extra plants i'm growing the the grow bed, will keep nitrates down and hopefully maintain stable water parameters. So far for the 3 weeks I've tested my water every other day and parameters have remained stable at: pH: 6.4 gH:7 kH:0 TDS:234 ppm Ammonia: 0 ppm Nitrites: 0 ppm Nitrates <5 ppm In the past 3 weeks so many wonderful things have happened, I had an RCS that i brought home who was already berried, she gave birth just 3 days after I got her so now I have a lot, and I mean A LOT of babies and so far I think I have a pretty good survival rate, I can count at least 12-14 babies at any given time. One of my PRL CRS had "the clear band of death" right under the head. I was super worried for the whole week it had it, but this morning when I checked in on her, the band was gone and she is now berried!

Hi, I'm very new to shrimping and I am just starting on caridinas for an addition to my neos and if anyone has any beginner ones that are willing to sell me some, I would appreciate it! Grade does not matter for me. Ideally, my budget is from $20-45 shipped because college! I'm familiar with CRS and CBS. Thank you for reading (hoping for around 10 or so but im not picky!! Negotiable thank you again!) edit(also down for some mischlings)

Hi everyone, I am planning on starting my first caridina tank soon! I have a 20 gallon neo tank right now, but I want to step up! What species of caridina shrimp would you recommend for me? Maybe CRS and CBS? I really would LOVE some blue bolts, PRL, and snow whites though! Also, are there any types I could keep together to make really cool babies? I love when there is a lot of variety, but I don't want the colors to turn out bad! Thanks so much
