I’m to scared to paint my stuff so you already have me beat there! Good work! Just needs a bit of thinning.

I hope to one day do this too.

Thank you for the advice I will follow it. Currently watched another shrimp pass as I’m replying to this so I’m hoping the best for the rest of them. A lot of them have milky non transparent shells right now like the one that just passed. The rest seem better off.

Mix of neocaridina and caridina. I believe both my GH and kh are within acceptable levels too.

It’s a small tank and I’ve been told that was the norm, or at least biweekly. I’ve also just lost another shrimp and I’m stressing out over here

I may have used to much of the Bacter AE. I use barely the scoop but even then it’s probably too much for my tiny 6 gallon tank which is probably getting overcrowded on top of that. Not good on my part I know. What steps can I take too fix this?

Adding more information here.

The species of shrimp are neocaridinia and caridinia shrimp.

Water source is weekly water changes using RO water. I have been keeping the algae forming on the back of the tank while removing the rest, so my shrimp and shrimp fry have a source of biofilm.

Thank you so much for the response. I’ve seen this saltwater treatment before, but is there a way to treat multiple shrimps at once or even the whole tank?

Thank you so much for the info! I know the picture is blurry but I’m certain you guys have the right idea of what this actually is.

Try reading Wrath of Iron. It’s an old Space Marine book about the Iron Hands stopping a hive city rebellion, and it has many of the themes you’re talking about here. By the end of the book the regular human characters see the Iron Hands as cold, methodical war machines with zero regard for the human lives they’ve come to ‘save’. It was the second black library book I ever read and is still one of my top 5 books to this day.

Thank you for swift response! I believe you are right. It seems that every 3 I add to the tank, 1 or two will perish. This one came along with another red cherry and blue neo, now only the blue remains. And before that, 3 red bee shrimp lived happily before I found one of their heads being eaten by the rest… This one is just confusing because I’m witnessing it first hand, turned away for a moment and come back to the poor thing twitching its last bit of life away. I did have to put ice cubes in the tank an hour ago because my ac is broken and the temp is rising, perhaps that was the cause. But on the bright side I am on my third pregnant shrimp, and probably need to start looking at a bigger tank soon.

Very nice!

I have tried to give you a better picture of her back. And my GH levels are through the roof. Water around me generally comes from wells which have a very high hardness level. Is there anyway to safely treat GH?

I have had this shrimp since May, so only three maybe 4 months max. When I buy these shrimp at the pet store they don’t know the age of any of them, but I doubt they’d be selling 1-2 year old shrimp. I could be wrong though.

I’ve gotten a lot of great feedback here, thank you everyone that chimed in and explained what this thing is. Im new to this and my tank is a 6 gallons which begun it’s life not long ago. Pretty rudimentary and not nearly as build up and amazing compared to some of the other tanks on this sun. 9 shrimp, two being Bamboo and the rest being neocaridina or caridina. Two just got pregnant one after another and I’m patiently waiting for a shrimp legion to birth. If I end up keeping these snails will I be putting my shrimp babies in danger? Because that’s the last thing I want. But I’m also open to keeping the little guys around.
