I bred guppies for a while and mine always enjoy lots of hiding spots. Live plants are preferable, especially for preggo moms and the fry. With a good amount of plants most guppies didn't eat their young. Just my 2 cents

Just curious to see what others Temps are on caridina shrimp tanks. Thanks in advance.

Kinda bummed right now. Turned on lights for the day on my new tanks and 3 dead tangerine tigers. The tank temp was 76 almost 77 when heater set at 72. They were all Bouncing around abnormally. Uggghhh I hate aquarium heaters. I think I'm going to take all heaters from all tanks and just duct...

Pure cinnamon sticks/ bark are ok for shrimp? Very interesting Thank you very much. My tds seems to be rising more than what is just evaporating, most likely the botanicals. I didn't realize how much they can effect water parameters.

No problem, I always enjoy watching them when they are upside down like that.

Very normal, here is a picture of one of my blue neos berried. Looks like your mamma has a full load. Hope she goes full term with em for ya.

Thank you all for insightful input.

Hello all, I have 2 x 10 gallon caradina shrimp tanks, see pictures below. Some of what im thinking is biofil and lots of algae in pictures. I cycled and let biofilm and algae grow before introducing shrimp. Now my question is, as they eat the biofilm what is the best way to try to keep it...

All will be classified as mutt guppies even if some show more traits of certain genes.

Glare from water above but love the pattern on on this one.

One of my favorite shrimp pictures I've taken.

Not the best picture and still acclimating but very nice color on these extreme blue bolts.

I'll list the top 4 of my favorite artists who I have cooked for not seen as a guest instead. Bruno mars. He and his whole family were the most kind and happy people. I catered him right when he was getting popular and his old school grandfather didn't believe all the buffet and food was free...

I had to remove a middle post and make floating braces. That led to cover panels that my daughter painted. That led to painting the plain wall. Will leave solid behind tanks.

The middle brace was just bairly in the way to slide in 20gal longs on left but couldn't move back because want to fit 20gal tall there. So I spent today with help of kids redesigning a floating corner. My daughter painted the panels I used to cover my brace work.

I have stand alone dehumidifier when needed, plus going to hook up a 6in ducting from house heating/cooling system. I leave that "fan" on all day so circulates house air evenly inbetween having to heat or cool.

Today added 2 more shelves to my aquarium room. Currently 2x 10gal now fully cycled and ordering shrimp this weekend. 2x 20 gallons getting set up this weekend also. Total after fully done will be 3x 10gal 2x 20gal high and 3x 20gal long

I'm no expert but from my understanding a kh of 3 is too high for caridina shrimp. This may not allow them to properly molt. Again not expert and following incase other input.

As title states, I'm starting my first venture with caridina shrimp and trying to get everything on point before I order some. I'm using fluval stratum but wondering how deep of a layer are y'all using? I think I may have too thick and read that can trap bacteria leading to parameter issues. Or...

I did some research and found info on him located on shrimp keeping forums. He is an importer with a decent reputation. But as always importing livestock comes with a risk (ive done in past). For my first two species in New shrimp room I'm going to risk it with him for one and support usa...
