I am so excited! Now it’s just sitting on my bed. I can’t tell if it’s 15 or 20 gallon long.

Pea puffers are really cute. But I’ve heard that puffers are very aggressive. Would I only be able to keep one? I’m not very interested in schooling fish, I prefer shrimp to small fish. My little sister is begging me to get some kind of pleco, but I’m unsure if it would outgrow the tank.

C’mon!! It’s not too bad! At least I don’t have a whole rack of aquariums. Yet.. But seriously!! I have no idea what to do next!

Was just planning on having a normal trip to Goodwill with my boyfriend. But instead I found a practically brand new 15 (20?) gallon tank! Boyfriend definitely was trying to talk me out of it but once I saw that it was only 15 dollars, I had to. My mom will not be so happy about this amazing...

Green hair algae? I’ve just lessened my amount of light on the tank and it usually goes away. Does it bother you aesthetically? I actually think it looks nice on the driftwood

I feel like it kind of did, a lot more people are interesting in fishkeeping and invertebrates because of COVID, I’ve definitely seen more people wanting shrimp as of late.

I swear I’m there almost everyday. I mean, they know me by name!! I can’t be the only person who has to go to the pet store at least twice a week. I always NEED something, like another bottle of prime, daphnia, or to see if they have new shrimp… or even if I don’t need anything in particular. I...

I have both rose quartz and amethyst in two of my tanks. Amethyst is technically a type of quartz so it works in aquariums. You can also use Smokey quartz, or any other quartz variants :) (if you believe in crystal properties, it’s beneficial for the fish!) I keep tons of crystals around my...

I thought the same thing but it was cheaper than LiveAquarias. I’ll have to check out aquahuna!

I think it depends on how many shrimp you buy, I had the option to spend $40 on 1-2 day shipping for the three shrimp I bought, but I went with the cheaper 1-9 day option.

Chain stores have some hidden treasures when it comes to bettas. Whoever mislabeled my giant marble saved me a good $20!!

I paid $30 for the 1-9 days shipping guarantee, they also have a DOA policy so I’m sure that if any shrimp arrive dead they will refund you.

Do you have any Java moss and frog bit left for sale?

Interesting. There are a lot of hobbyists who work at my pet smart, maybe they don’t follow the rules in order to take in unwanted fish.

My local pet smart allows for donations of fish. I wonder if the workers there do that without manager’s knowledge? Is it some kind of rule for chain stores?

You can try and sell or return them to another LFS or a chain pet-store. Sometimes you will have luck with trying various pet stores. Maybe find a local fish keeper or breeder through Facebook? You could also sell or trade them in the buy trade and sell part of the forum. I hope you can find a...

I think it is 5 shrimp per 1 gallon. But honestly a 3.3g is the smallest I’d keep a colony in. (Especially if it’s some kind of jar!!) If it’s an all shrimp tank your numbers would rise a lot faster in such a large tank.

It is a 3.3g, heavily planted, filtered and heated EcoQube. They have been thriving and have all had successful molts. I have exactly 9 shrimp, and thankfully, they do not breed successfully since I do not take the females out, and they eat all the eggs. (I for sure do not want a million tiny...

I’m in class too! It doesn’t look scummy, probably just a result of having hard water. :)

I currently have a ghost shrimp colony! It is quite rewarding to own shrimp.
