New shrimp... any suggestions?

[skar]

Hey. Trying bamboo shrimp again.
75 gallon well planted community tank.
Temp is @ 76.8. Only bio filtration - matrix and sponge some olllld floss in the filters.
I added this young one in yesterday.


I don't see it today of course. I have alot of area to feed from the filter outlet.
I can visually see some particulates in the water column.

I have a tidal 75 on one side with a 110 on the other with plants to perch on.
Am I missing anything ?

Great looking tank. They will be very happy in there. Well done

I know I’m a bit late on this but still gonna give a little input. You might need to do something to increase water flow. A small air stone under a sturdy plant should be enough. Your water looks crystal clear too so you might need to supplement food. Crushing normal flake food into a powder has worked for me. Other than that any tropical planted aquarium should be fine.

Thank you for your thoughts.
I have two hob filters a tidal 110 and a 70 on alternate sides. I would think that would be good flow ?

I have not seen this shrimp dead or alive since that picture.
Funny thing, I put in a vampire shrimp a bit later and that big guy seems to be loving it in there !!

Awesome! Maybe your tank is just better suited for vampire shrimp. Hob filters could work but they typically only get good flow at the top. My bamboo shrimp spend most of the day perched directly infront of my fluval 307 canister filter.
