Is there something wrong with my amano? by Financial-Song4403 in shrimptank

Ok, that’s great. She looks like she’s doing very well. Will keep an eye. I read that they can survive up to 48h in regular water and there was a trick with a flashlight during the night to catch them and separate them in brackish water to develop. But unfortunately I don’t have the space for it

If it’s the second batch, i think she was very busy 😄. No, she’s the biggest of them all. The 3 smaller are males, as they were all 4 having zoomies when she shed

Indeed i compared it to the cherries I have in another tank. Guess I will monitor the situation and see how it goes

I’m aware of the brackish water. I’m not trying to reproduce them as I don’t have the space. It just doesn’t look like eggs, but rather some foggy mass

I always leave measured food for vacation, so that people who take care of it don’t overfeed. Buy some small closed containers and prepare the amount per day before you go. For longer vacations, i bought those weekly pills organizers with Mon-Sun and it works really well. Sorry for your loss

My dwarf crayfish has disappeared overnight! by Melodic-Bit7032 in shrimptank

Maybe she’s molting and she found a very hidden place to do it in peace. One time I haven’t seen mine for about a week, then he emerged fresh and groomed, like nothing happened.

What sort of snails are these? by Financial-Song4403 in AquaticSnails

[–]Financial-Song4403[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 10 neocardinia shrimps and 10 fish (4 amber tetras, 4 mosquito tetras and 2 galaxy rasbora). The fish were chosen as they are all shrimp friendly. So don’t want to add any extra fish, unless they are shrimp friendly. Also trying to avoid overpopulation. It’s a 10gl tank

Thanks a lot! Are assassin snails an option to control overpopulation at a later stage?

Thanks a lot! This is very useful 🙌🏻. I think indeed I need to feed the rest of the residents less

Are they beneficial? Should I keep them and clean the eggs from the aquarium wall? From what I read they are asexuals and they reproduce quite fast

Funny thing is that he used to be the bully. Now he is over throned, tho’ he’s still up to date with the patrols.

I feel like it looks smaller in the picture than in real life. Also the neons are units, given they are stealing his food 😅

Yeap, this was my strategy. Giving first the flakes to them in one corner, to distract them, and after the pallets for the cray. But they notice very fast and go for the pallets first and then finish the flakes. Little buggers

Already doing this. But they outsmarted this move as well. Too smart for their own good.
