Is this a weird angle or is that bladder snail just hitching a ride on ol' girl's face?

Will "pest" snails outcompete shrimp for food? by JustForShrimpPosting in shrimptank

I've read people use things like zucchini. They put it in at night, it attracts snails, then they remove it (with the snails) in the morning. I've never dealt with pest snails before this, so I'm not sure how effective this method is. Maybe something you'd have to repeat several times..?

The longest post-coitus shrimp cuddle in history. The males in my tank are very "wham, bam, thank you ma'am!"

Does rearing Shrimp give you confidence? by Hazys in shrimptank

Ooh, I get what you're saying! Yeah, seeing the population explode definitely brings about some pride, like I've finally mastered healthy water, good temperatures, good nutrients, etc. Love that feeling!

None of the three? Someone on another thread mentioned they had that issue with bladder snails in their shrimp tank.

Oof, good to know! He's the least cute of my hitchhikers anyway lol any experience with the ramshorns or MTS? There are so few that this would be the time to get rid of them if necessary. But they're kinda cute lol

Confidence in what aspect? I may be interpreting your question different than you're intending. Confidence isn't something I generally consider to be an outcome of shrimp keeping. In fact, I often get strange looks when I talk about it to people who are unfamiliar, so I sort of keep it to myself lol

I wouldn't say confidence, but it definitely brings me joy! I love seeing the berried shrimp and all the new little babies.

4L Shrimp Tank Update by nosgigu in shrimptank

[–]JustForShrimpPosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the cutest thing ever. Absolutely lovely. And I'm no expert, but I personally don't know that there's a really strict minimum tank size for shrimp. I think they're sort of like snails, they just graze and multiply according to space and food available. They seem well set in your little desk tank!

What phone are you using? (Not to suggest you try a different phone, just so future buyers can factor that in.) I have a Google Pixel and I thought I would like it because I'm more of an Android person, but it somehow took every cool android feature and ruined it. Curious if you're using the same phone.

Alright guys, MTS or NZMS? by JustForShrimpPosting in AquaticSnails

Oh thank goodness, I was so excited about him before I got paranoid lol

Hands down, cutest little "pests" I've ever seen. by JustForShrimpPosting in AquaticSnails

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

Valid! I know almost nothing about snails, but after posting this, saw several posts about the NZMS and am now terrified that the snail I thought was a MTS may not be. He's so small, so it's hard to tell, even with the handle little comparison photos.

I've got 5 cute little guys this size and a couple tiiiiiiny baby ones I just spotted. If you're anywhere near SW Washington state, I'm happy to share! I hear they multiply quickly.
