rosequoll Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 My shrimp tank at the moment. Not the best of photos, but they'll do. 10 something whatever native shrimps (not macro, not sure!) 11-15 (bought 11, found 15 the other day, who knows!) Darwin red-nose shrimp 5 cherry shrimp Need to put in some more cherries and would love to get some more small native shrimps. The locally native shrimp in there at the moment include two full size VERY berried females who will start off my breeding tub once I...yanno....buy a tub. =) No plants as...SOMEONE ate all my pellia. Baby mystery snails? The darwins??? Who knows. And one of my poor marimo balls is un-balling. Any help getting it back into a tight ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarah1234 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Woah awesome! I'm looking at getting some red nose myself . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosequoll Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I love my reds. Cutest little faces. I had spotted blue eyes in the tank so I'm SUPER surprised they multiplied at all, but I definitely didn't get 15 in the order. =) Moved the blue eyes out today for the sake of the new larger berried natives, we'll see how they go. They'll be a good one to breed as 'feeders' and still a nice looking shrimp with no big macro claws to attack fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff was a pain to get. Do they commonly eat pellia or is it just a suspicion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosequoll Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Just a suspicion. Jodi has them with pellia with no issues...soooo. Thinking maybe the snails so I'm moving the snails over to a small tank that has goldfish in it at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadFishFloating Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 likely its the native glass shrimps doing the damage to plants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve6610 Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 very nice, i have a couple native shrimp we got from the local creeks, forgot i even put them in my tank, now i notice i have a family of them, must have been a berried f/m, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosequoll Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 likely its the native glass shrimps doing the damage to plants Glass shrimp only went in on Friday, pellia was demolished a month ago so not that one! I'm leaning towards the snails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosequoll Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Staring at the tank, looks like I have the following in berry: 3 red-nose 2 cherry 2 native caridina I can see little eyeballs on the native shrimp egg-lets. *glee* Going to pick up some more of these guys tomorrow I think. Have an empty shrimp tank just sitting there. All empty. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
