SnookusFish's cherry shrimp

[Hugooo]

I would be down to! Where do u live?
Edit: sorry can't work, I live in Ireland

Oh well. Good luck anyway! And btw, I love your YouTube channel so much. I remember one time I clicked on one of your videos, and I forgot that it was yours, and it was so professional to me that I thought I was watching a famous fish YouTuber like Foo the Flowerhorn or TheCineScaper. That's how cool it was!

 

[richiep]

All hail the king!

 

[SnookusFish]

Lots of shrimp now. I have noticed that some of the younger generations aren't as high grade as the previous ones, do I just need to cull more or do I need new shrimp?

 

[richiep]

I would not touch any thing

Both, really. If you want yours to maintain the good coloration you need to cull the ones that don't meet that standard, but it's also a good idea to add new genetics periodically (once a year or so).

[SnookusFish]

I'm setting up a new planted tank this week! (I say new, im just rescaping and planting) and im going to move a load of shrimp over too it. Very exciting, let's hope they don't become snacks

 

[SnookusFish]

Nice to finally see him out. Fed him loads. He is called woody

 

[SnookusFish]

 

[SnookusFish]

Its been a while! I added 3 honey gourami and they did eat a few shrimp however they have calmed down now and I think I only lost about 5 shrimp. They all went into hiding for a while but are finally coming back out. Woody the bamboo shrimp is looking good aswell.

 

[SnookusFish]

I'm happy with the grade of my shrimp now. Most of them looking like this. I love watching them bustle about.
and king woody is doing great, just took these photos and they are my fav photos of him so far.

 

[richiep]

You wont get a better cherry than that top photo its stunning

 

[SnookusFish]

Noticed discolouration in 3 shrimp, isolated them in a breeder box. Any ideas what this is? richiep

 

[richiep]

What discolouration are you talking about

 

[SnookusFish]

What discolouration are you talking about

Bits of them are turning blueish/paler. Only thing i have found could be muscular necrosis.

 

[richiep]

Theres something not right but need clearer pictures ,put in a jar or clear glass and try.
Photo 1&3 look like muscular neceracosis and 2&4 look different but need better picture

 

[SnookusFish]

I increased oxygenation and added some Indian almond leaves and nothing bad happened... I was still a bit worried tho so I moved the 3 shrimp to my cull tank. Added some more sand to my tank today along with 2 more otos and 2 tiny little amano shrimp! The amanos are the same size as an adult cherry, very cute.

 

[SnookusFish]

Spotted another discoloured one. They act normal but look very bad... im worried about it. Any ideas anyone? richiep
So I believe it is muscularis necrosis. Is that contagious? Anyone have experience with it?

 

[Cherryshrimp420]

That's normal with high grade cherries. You gotta keep culling them to maintain a good red colour. Increasing Astaxanthin in their diet will help with coloration (found in a lot of shrimp meals, crab meals, salmon flakes)

 

[richiep]

If it was muscular neceracosis the pictures you showed almost a week ago should be dead, if you're not loosing shrimp then it can't be

 

[SnookusFish]

Hmm I have no clue. I'm going to increase aeration and feed some more veggies because I havent fed vegetables in quite a while so maybe it is a diet problem. Ill feed some spinach and nettle leaves.

 

[SnookusFish]

Havent had any more problems since feeding more vegetables.

 

[richiep]

They are beautiful

 

[SnookusFish]

Thanks richie, I love them. So happy i didnt lose them to whatever that issue was.

 

[richiep]

It would have been a shame to loose those

With ghost you need two tanks otherwise the parents will eat them, z little 5g will do fine
