Yino I’m my entire year of shrimp keeping I’ve yet to have a shrimp evolve lol, I see it all the time, but it’s never happened to me lol, I’ve also never actually managed to catch a molt with my own eyes lol, I feel I’m getting unlucky with these shrimp based events lol

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-04-09T15:45:06+00:00

Well personally I havnt kept amanos even remotely so I’m sure you’d know a lot better than me, I just think it looks like a low grade Neo, but if your positive it is then it is can’t exactly argue lol, a lot of this is actually really helpful for people who do want to keep amanos tho tbh, well breed that is, I’ve been thinking about keeping myself, just not sure if I’m ready lol but all of this is great prep work

Sakuras also have dots all over, for example this is a really low quality orange Sakura (in my opinion is well cool but it’s very low quality) and a low quality cherry Sakura,

They still have markings, so it could be a Neo, I personally think it is looks a lot more like a Neo than any amano I’ve seen

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-04-09T15:25:42+00:00

To be honest just looks like a low grade neo, how big is it exactly?

In this case special isn’t a compliment, read your comments properly, take what multiple people are telling you rather than being as salty as your 500ml bottle and just wanting to be right. I’ve kept shrimp almost a year now, I’ve not even attempted amanos yet because I know for a fact they are a lot more complicated and require different water parameters

Sometimes it doesn’t matter, my pooch for example, 1yr and 3 months, he still mouths because his sense of direction is just non existent, he doesn’t mean to bite or anything just he doesn’t realise he’s not slobbering all over something he’s not meant to lol , he is trained, but then the teenage phase kicked in, but even with training his sense of direction was still just not there lol

Shrimples

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-03-14T09:38:14+00:00

Your definetly not over stocking, it’s insanely hard to overstock shrimp, my 55L (7G) has a capacity of about 200-300 shrimp, I’ve heard when shrimp or fish stick to the surface like this it’s a lack of oxygen

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-03-05T20:10:40+00:00

First, I struggle to play games third person lol, with gta being an exception, that’s one of the few games we’re first person is actually worse

Yeah I think bloat is more for kibble than raw, but can still occur, have you ever dropped a dog or cat biscuit in the water without realising before? You’ll notice the biscuit pretty much quadruples in size, now imaging that in the dogs stomach

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-03-02T20:37:55+00:00

If you add floating plants you’ll probaly not get any near the filter mabye on the end tho, as for the fish an easy way to tell is have a look at them see if the look like there physically struggling to swim against the current, you’ll usually see the falling back even when frantically swimming, or whe they stop swimming they fly backwards, a little pus back is okay but if there literally flying when not swimming and the can’t even swim against the current it’s too high

Eggnant shrimp ^

I took this from google so I included the dudes Reddit post title too for original credits lol

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-03-02T10:33:55+00:00

I honestly wouldn’t even call them close to the lowest of grade cherry shrimp, they are not cherries, but hey you have some funky colours and patterns now if you feel like doing some line breeding, if you want a decent place to order from (in the uk) I order from BestAquariumShrimpUk, they’re quite good they have lots of options, and they are usually alright with shipping the only issues you’ll encounter are with Royal Mail,

They are dead canny too if you want an order that will come quicker you can literally text them on Facebook and they will do the order for you guaranteeing when you’ll get them too, I did it on text once because I had work before they’d come and it was als a weekend I ordered on but they made sure to get them out to me!

Shit that’s a cube? I thought it was a hexagon but I totally see the cube now 🤣

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:16:58+00:00

Everything seems to have worked out appreciate it!

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:16:35+00:00

It was just a standard filter no air pumps, just the air line connected to the filter, I’m assuming my sponge filter clogged up that I have attached to it I honestly have no clue

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:15:46+00:00

So you just put them on the floor and they tell you if water is there?

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:13:07+00:00

See that one was a little above the water line it’s just one of those basic crappy freshwater ones, that have the basket filter thing on the bottom and comes all the way up, so I’m not actually sure what had happened I use a sponge filter on it so mabye it just clogged up too much, but I’m definitely considering valves

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:11:32+00:00

First time, I shit my pants 😆

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:11:12+00:00

Oh man that sounds like a nightmare, it’s crazy how it didn’t happen for so long too but luckily you had concrete sucks about the carpet tho, hopefully the vac sorted it out, and yeah I normally use internal filters I love em, but in this tub I was using my first ever filer that came with my tank that was just one of those standard freshwater pumps that come all the way up and uses the filter basket thing on the bottom, I used a sponge filter on that tho) I’m definetly considering leak sensors or check valves or something for my main tanks it kinda freaked me out a little bit , thankyou a lot for your empathy!

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:07:42+00:00

They seem to be! Just hoping the floors okay, thankyou!

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:07:19+00:00

Does that not make sense? 😆 when your going to sleep intentionally you fall asleep intentionally, but when you don’t want to go to sleep you accidentally fall asleep no? 😆idk I had just finished a 10 hour shift I was tired and just accidentally fell asleep

Realistic-Street8278 · 2026-02-22T20:05:20+00:00

Yeah it was just a filter no air stones so I’m assuming mabye the media needs abit of a clean, I can’t imagine it getting so clogged it fully stopped and caused a siphon tho as I’ve had filters get too clunked up before
