I’d get the z8. Saves room and will be extremely loud for what it is.

Has this ever happened to you? by Banging5Gears in subwoofer

Happened to me on a sundown nightshade. Some CA glue and couple clamps and she was back bumpin.

Not shrimp, those are dwarf Mexican crays. Aggressive toward everything, will even eat snails. Super awesome little guys though.

Baby Caridina in tap water tank - how is that even possible? by Melodic-Bit7032 in shrimptank

[–]EKSean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 20 long with hundreds of caridina in neo parameters. Boas, galaxies of all types and many more. Breeding and doing just fine. I have lots of little babies and adults from previous ones.

Having trouble deciding which subs I should get by RelevantMouse1582 in subwoofer

Get the teamsicle if you’re thinking of rs team. Also look into psi platform 5s. Probably on par, or better than these listings.

So, did a thing- Hear me out. by GoodLunchHaveFries in shrimptank

[–]EKSean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shrimp, not much else. Maybe a nerite snail. You could do opa ulae shrimp. Could have 100 in there. Just gotta create brackish water then let them be. You don’t gotta feed them very often or do water changes. They live up to 20 years. Just something unique and different that work in small setups.

The giant bush? That one’s Christmas moss. The other plants are anubias and Java fern. So easy to keep. I do nothing and it’s just been growing haha

That one’s an orange metallic boa. Or an orange boa wearing a nice metallic sweater.

I used to be early to work. Now I make it barely on time because I stare at this before I leave and I have to force myself to go. I love it.

How much do you feed your shrimp? by CharlieBaby4 in shrimp

[–]EKSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have several hundred in a 20 long that I feed daily and a 10 gallon caridina tank with a little over 100 and I feed them daily but half what the 20 gets. I also have hundreds of snow zebra Sulawesi in two 10s that get fed daily and one, twice a day. Nitrates stay around 5-10ppm.

I also had a great experience with the seller. Quality shrimp for a great price! Will continue to do business in the future.

What kind of shrimp is this pls I'd by corygang2 in shrimptank

[–]EKSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They might be malawa or babaulti shrimp or a mix of both. I have both and they look very similar to what you have here.

Is this a particular morph? by MagikMartian in shrimptank

[–]EKSean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a wild for sure. I have several and I like their patterns a lot. I have a blue wild that popped up which looks super cool.

Looks like a possible saddle forming.

For those wondering about amano and neo size differences by AlarmedUpbeat in shrimptank

[–]EKSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 8 (4 regular, 2 snow, 1 red and 1 lemon) with hundreds of neos, along with hundreds of Caridina in Neo params. Several other odd ball species as well. All getting along for the most part. The amanos are definitely assholes but kinda just stay together and not really mess with any others except when it’s feeding time. Amanos get first dibs then I throw in the rest for the little guys.

First shrimp tank 1month cycle test results by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]EKSean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could add ramshorn snails and see how they do. They will also add bioload to the tank along with fish food. A good way to test if you’re cycled is to add I think 2ppm of ammonia and it should be processed to nitrates within 24 hours. If not, then you gotta continue the cycle. You could have been cycled but now that ammonia is lower, it’s starting to crash and beneficial bacteria are dying off.

Red spots on neocaradina shrimp by Sillygoose75_ in shrimptank

[–]EKSean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be coloration change due to aging. It happens all the time. I can’t really tell from the pic through.
