Jaykidding Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I don't know if tetra safe is good for shrimp, and have you tested your distiller water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaykidding Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Something is not right :/ alright I speak the truth lol. I honestly think you should try neos, yeah I know they don't excite you but some really do have nice colors depending on how you raise them. Such as painted fire reds, blue dreams, or you can even try tigers as they are good for people going into taiwan bees such as orange eye blue tiger or even royal blue tigers. It's my opinion and I want to help you, it's important right now to think whether the shrimps lives and your money are important right now, or how much a shrimp excites you and they just die. Just try some species that you can easily raise and start a colony as you are a beginner in the hobby. Then once you have that RO unit boom you can just go right into the caridinia again.

nevesj98 Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 To be honest i tought about getting some blue dreams or yellows Jaykidding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandovalsbco Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I agree with jaykidding. I just started this hobby and I started out with blue dreams and haven't lost one yet. They are thriving and I'm learning more and more about this hobby with this forum. I'm honestly kinda sad that that many shrimp died because you wanted to try it out to see if it works. One thing I learned in the aquarium hobby is you need to have patience and trust me it's definitely hard for me. Good luck and look forward to seeing updates on your journal.

Jaykidding Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Yeah I got into TBs after 6 months into neos and it was really hard not getting TBs sooner, but it was worth it getting experience and information from members here. Yes yellows and blue dreams are awesome to keep they are 2 beautiful colors especially neon yellows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevesj98 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 WELL for what it seems, when i counted the shrimps 2 were hidden so i actually had and still have 6 x) Got a stable gh at 4/5 and no one has died since the last post ehehe If i wanted to add a snail or two, which do you guys recomend? Have a great day everybody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenteam Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Ramhorns are simple and don't get out of control. In the case you get a larger colony of snails then you want then their size makes it easy to remove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevesj98 Posted December 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Well looks like i really did the wrong math and found 2 extra shrimps today so they are 8 overall, not bad, the hope returns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to hijack this thread but I'm wondering if you know if Mystery Snails are shrimp safe. I have them in with fish but not yet the shrimps.

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 yepper. Mysteries are shrimp safe. The only thing to look out for is when they die, there's ammonia produced pretty fast. Wygglz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wygglz Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 yepper. Mysteries are shrimp safe. The only thing to look out for is when they die, there's ammonia produced pretty fast. Thank you. We just received 15 beautiful young ones. They are all in Gillz fish aquarium now (except one betta buddy for my office) but we'd like to put them with the shrimp too.

nevesj98 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Well today i had a death, the less negative side is that the berried one is still alive, i suspect the cause were molting issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
