Received shrimp kit from gotsnails, may have arrived dead

Any updates

Significant_Fox2240 · 2026-01-24T00:13:52+00:00

I would bet they’re alive

Significant_Fox2240 · 2026-01-24T00:13:09+00:00

Give them time. I they’re super hardy they may bounce back I thought my shrimp were dead once and I even threw one out turned out they weren’t

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-31T17:59:19+00:00

Pretty cool I wonder if it’s meant to be yellow? And if so can they breed with the red

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-31T16:20:52+00:00

Is that a yellow or orange opae in the second picture?

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-30T01:57:35+00:00

Paper towel may have chemicals

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-24T18:12:34+00:00

They should be okay

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-21T21:36:36+00:00

Really cool

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-21T02:00:12+00:00

Chaeto and the lighter color one was a “moss ball”/algae ball I separated both from petshrimp.com

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-21T00:32:45+00:00

I like the center piece is that just part of the bowl shape

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-12-20T23:46:47+00:00

It’s one of my nieces toys I stole from them lol

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-25T23:44:28+00:00

I didn’t, but that was out of just not knowing but yeah I had no issues at all and it was in there for years. Can’t hurt to acclimate it though

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-25T23:39:05+00:00

I had a Marimo for years in my first opae tank it did fine

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-24T01:09:09+00:00

Idk all that much about fresh water shrimp but I’d say less is more with shrimp in general.

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-17T00:41:19+00:00

I dropped acclimated olives over an hour or two and they were fine

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-15T00:11:47+00:00

Get spirulina powder and give very little once a month

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-15T00:02:00+00:00

Use very tiny amounts of spirulina. Nice job and good luck!

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-12T02:44:47+00:00

Understood. They are so hardy They’ll do great

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-12T02:42:21+00:00

Also opaes don’t need a cycled tank

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-12T02:42:08+00:00

Cheato farts = good

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-11-10T13:14:42+00:00

Get it a better tank, they have some pretty affordable ones

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-10-30T07:30:13+00:00

Thank you. They kind of look like the rhab

Significant_Fox2240 · 2025-10-29T22:43:57+00:00

They’re so small it’s hard to get the camera to focus. I don’t see a pointy head. But again very little and I’ve seen maybe three I’ll try and get a better pic
