As a hobbyist who has been nurturing Crystal Shrimp for three years and has gained a deep understanding of their behavior, I am pleased to announce my intention to commence an experiment in selective breeding this year. I will diligently record the status of my shrimp tank on a weekly basis, and I invite everyone to share their insights and feedback.

hi guys im new in here and wanted to see if someone could help me. i have research but still haven't decided on which substrate to use, i want to start 4-6 new 10 gallon tanks for taiwan bees and crystal red/black shrimp. wich substrate should i use? i have only used fluval substrate but my shrimp haven't breed yet so i want to try something new??

I just started a 10gal tank for some painted fire red/bloody mary cherry shrimp. Substrate: Fluval Stratum Ati Sponge filter 40 gal Tetra whisper air pump for 40 gal Plants: 4 Marimo balls Subwassertang Current ph is around 6.8-7.0 (my tap is around 7.8) The picture of the test is from today March 22 Still waiting for this tank to cycle. Im using fish flakes as the ammonia source. This is my first tank so I cant seed the tank from an existing tank. I added bio spira(beneficial bacteria) 2 days ago. I would have thought the nitrites would be up by now. I went ahead and added some more fish food to up the ammonia. Ill check ammonia and nitrites tomorrow. Ive been out of aquatic keeping game for over 10 years!.

My tank is almost cycled and i'm going to be purchasing some sort of cardina (most likely crystal reds). If there is a one and only shrimp food to feed them, what would it be? This is my only tank for now. Possibly looking to expand later on, but for now its a just a 10 gal cardina tank. In the tank there will be Marimo Moss that I flattened out to be a carpet, some subwassertang and ill be adding some cholla wood that i bought already. Thanks!

Hello Everyone! I have decided to turn my 5.5 Gallon nano into a Crystal Red Shrimp tank. I have been cycling this tank for about 3 weeks. My current water parameters are Ammonia - .25ppm, Nitrite - 0 ppm, Nitrates - 0 ppm, and my ph is 7.6. I know most individuals say that this is a high ph for this specific type of shrimp but in our area it is quite common. And strangely enough we do have many breeders and LFS that are raising and breeding in this ph. I am using distilled water for my water changes as well as 25% tap water. I have a sponge filter as well as a 15W LED Solarflare from Deep Blue. Right now in the tank, I have Dwarf Baby Tears in the front of the tank, Anubias petite around the front of the driftwood as well as attached to the top within it, Java fern to help hide the sponge filter, and some Christmas moss near the end of the driftwood. I am dosing with Iron, Excel, and Flourish. I also have 4 Zebra/1 Spotted Nerite, 2 Orange Neo, and 1 Scarlet Badis. The Badis will be getting rehomed once I purchase my CRS stock. If my water parameters stay constant for the next week, I will be bringing home my new shrimplets next Friday. So I will be posting updated photos once that has happened. Any advice or comments would be much appreciated.
