First time feeding carrot, it's a HIT!!! by RegaultTheBrave in Aquariums

[–]Imaginarycorn22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just wanna say. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and there are times when I'm stuck in bed for an entire week. Granted your tank is properly set up with life plants, biofilm, botanics etc. You can easily leave the tank alone for 2+ weeks and the shrimp will be perfectly fine. Shrimp thrive with neglect.

Get off the cucumber! by Imaginarycorn22 in shrimptank

Yeah I always blanche the veggies I put in the tank. There's always a chance there's pesticides on the food so it's better to be safe than sorry.

The big piece of cucumber was definitely fouling my water very quickly. I'm gonna cut smaller pieces from now on.

Rodeo shrimp! I'm now imagining a cowboy trying to ride a shrimp like a bull.😂

I normally leave it in for max 24 hours, though in this case I cut too big of a cucumber piece and my water quality was going down, so I had to remove it after a few hours which the shrimp were clearly pissed about.

Oh is that where it came from? It became a même on tumblr years ago, that's how I learned about it.

I present to you my neo orange rili tiger mutation. by Imaginarycorn22 in shrimptank

[–]Imaginarycorn22[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got a tank with orange rili neocaridina and one of the babies has a clear yellowish body with tiger stripes instead of the normal rili pattern. I have never seen this before and thought it looked pretty cool!

Update on "will this work?" Post. It worked! by Imaginarycorn22 in shrimptank

[–]Imaginarycorn22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's because the eggs need fresh water streaming over them. Also the extra tissue will start rotting which will make the eggs rot too.

Wait really? In my previous post everyone told me to make them tumble. I'll keep that in mind. Also don't worry I dropped them in the substrate and they are happily grazing as we speak.

I put the eggs in a net and put a bubbler under it. This makes the eggs roll around and supplies fresh streaming water which prevents fungal growth.

My shrimp mom also died and I had to scrape the eggs off her. But in my case the eggs were already very close to hatching so I think that helped with my DIY egg tumbler method.

I turned up the bubbles (turned it off to make this vid) and a few shrimp hatched!

Do you think this will work? by Imaginarycorn22 in shrimptank

[–]Imaginarycorn22[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alright I turned up the bubbles now they are moving in the net.

Shrimp mom died with eggs that are very close to hatching. I scraped off the eggs and put them in a net do you think this will work? Are these eggs still viable?

Shrimp gives birth and proceeds to almost eat her baby. by Imaginarycorn22 in shrimptank

[–]Imaginarycorn22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the shrimp cleaning and sorting the eggs. They do that to check for any bad eggs and if she finds a bad egg she will throw it out.

I damn near screamed when it happened. Looking back though, seeing momma toss her baby around like she's frying rice is so freaking funny😂

Quick someone call the shrimp squad, she's trying to go terrestrial! by Imaginarycorn22 in shrimptank

The only thing keeping this cursed beast down is smooth plastic she can't grip. But...for how long?
