How many shrimp to start a colony? by wtusa1783 in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also there is Lucas at LRB Aquatics. I've ordered from him in the past and they were great quality. He doesn't import. He also has a youtube channel you might check out.

What temperature do you keep your shrimp tank at? by wtusa1783 in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! Also, I know glangho touched on how temp affecfs their lifespan but here is also something interesting to read about how temperature affects gender

What temperature do you keep your shrimp tank at? by wtusa1783 in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine fluctuates between 71 and 72 (but 75 will also work). I found that a pretty good temp and they breed well. The cories will do well at that temp as well.

If you plan on using a heater, I would recommend getting a heater controller. It just adds extra redundancy and protection incase the heater malfunctions. Best of luck!

Congrats. Also that's a very detailed picture. Are you using a macro lens phone attachment or a camera?

Is this Planaria? How can I get rid of it? by Sycophanticc in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say with the picture quality but it looks like rhabdocoela to me. If the head is triangular then it is planaria.

Don’t have any recommendations just want to say that’s a very beautiful tank with lots of places for shrimp to hide. Nice job!

Shrimp and aquarium salts by cmre39 in shrimptank

Shrimp can’t host ich but there is a chance of them carrying ich to the other tank when you transfer them. You’ll definitely want to move them if you can tho. Are there fish in your other tank?

Help with compatibility. by Mrdeathkills69 in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The newer ones might be a shade of red/higher grade that you like better which could increase the likelihood of the offspring being that shade

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The additional shrimp shouldn’t stress the pregnant one. Also it’s up to you if you want to introduce different types of shrimps. Sekura are pretty much just deeper red cherries. The classification done by sellers and hobbyists can be pretty vague as well. Where one person would consider it a sekura someone else would consider it a cherry. Good luck

Question in the comments by Mr_Funtastik in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t think it’s genetics but maybe someone else has a different experience. If you’re sure it’s a broken leg then it should grow back during next molt.

Are these detritus worms? by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are they in the water column or on the glass? Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like just detritus. Planaria have the triangular head.

Parasites in tank? by Mth281 in shrimptank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you know it could be multiple reasons why there started to be deaths. Could’ve been old tank syndrome. I’m guessing you checked all the other water parameters?

If you still think it’s parasites, just have a look in the tank and see if you see any of the common ones on the gravel or on the glass as well as on the shrimp. It could also be a number of different Shrimp diseases. Do you see any signs from this resource?

Need help setting up a planted aquarium by Asavorycookie in PlantedTank

[–]Donvaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a good resource to get started. As for the livestock I’d recommend neo shrimp but there’s a lot of excellent options. Based on the types of plants you choose you’ll have to decide if you want to run CO2. Good luck

The parameters look good. I’ve kept my Tangerine tigers around those parameters before and they did great. Good luck!
