CODEKEYGUY Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just signed up for the forum. I have 5g and 2 g aqueon "self contained " tanks. I do not have much luck with most shrimp, but glasshrimp do thrive. I'll just stick with them until I gain more experience.

OblongShrimp Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Welcome to the forum! What do you mean by "self contained"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODEKEYGUY Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 By Self Contained, I mean the Aqueon brand bow front tanks. I should just call them "plug and Play". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I'd love to see some pics of your glass shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 ah ok gotcha. I would love to see pictures of the glass shrimp also. Where did you get them? Have you had sucess breeding them? I think there are several species sold as glass or ghost shrimp (usually for feeders) and some of them can breed in freshwater and some need brackish or salt.

BluePearls Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Welcome! I had a hard time with shrimp at first (started with glass shrimp just like you) but eventually worked out how to keep them successfully and then there was no holding me back... I can just sort of throw some in a new tank and off they go... Just watch out though, then you'll be addicted for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 LOL I call that price for my selective breeding the "trinity:" Time, Space and Money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
