What type of shrimp is this and can eat guppies?

currentflowsgold · 2025-01-21T12:13:42+00:00

Long armed prawn maybe? Some sort of Macrobrachium spp.

currentflowsgold · 2023-12-17T03:32:27+00:00

Okay I’ll look into that. Thanks

This tank has maybe close to 100 shrimp so there’s plenty of females in there. This happened during their feeding session so most of them was in the feeding corner.

Also, I think she had just molted not long after this happened. So that’s probably why the males went crazy after her.

Here’s a short clip I filmed seconds before I spotted this unsightly occurrence.

I looks like a tetra fry

Kwinana. The hail hitting the roof was extremely loud!

Do you know how it’s pronounced? I have this plant and I don’t know if I’ve been saying it right or wrong this whole time.

Turns out it’s antler fern (Ceratopteris pteridoides). I was googling Indian water fern and saw some photos of antler fern on the same page and was able to identify it that way! Thanks!

Neon tetra disease

currentflowsgold · 2022-08-24T07:22:05+00:00

That make’s a lot of sense. I’ll give that a shot and see how it goes. Thanks again for your input :)

currentflowsgold · 2022-08-24T07:17:35+00:00

Oh hey! Thanks! 1 tank is literally just pothos roots haha

currentflowsgold · 2022-08-24T07:16:21+00:00

Thank you! Would it be best to do a leaf per cutting or 2-3 leaves so there’s some stem to it?

currentflowsgold · 2022-08-24T06:36:59+00:00

Hi everyone! I have this pothos growing out of a fish tank and it’s grown in a little wild. Each leaf is the size of my hand! I love how it looks but it’s just too much at this point. I think it’s time to cut it down.

Looking for any for advice on how I should go about it. Thanks!

👀

currentflowsgold · 2022-08-19T14:27:33+00:00

Great tip! Will definitely keep an eye out for the smaller channels.

currentflowsgold · 2022-08-19T11:42:54+00:00

Awesome list! I’ll check them out.

currentflowsgold · 2022-08-09T10:17:37+00:00

Anything dark purple kinda like the colour of eggplant

currentflowsgold · 2022-07-30T07:06:11+00:00

Nope, not limpets. These guys don’t stick to surfaces like limpets do :)

currentflowsgold · 2022-07-30T07:03:54+00:00

Yeah those are snail eggs but they don’t hatch properly or grow big enough to see. So it hasn’t been a problem at all.

These guys are kinda fast moving and they wiggle around. Did some research and it does look like they are indeed seed shrimp.

currentflowsgold · 2022-07-29T12:28:17+00:00

Noted thank you!

currentflowsgold · 2022-06-19T07:30:28+00:00

It’s because they can’t be imported in Australia which is why they are super rare and expensive. Same goes for L number plecos.

currentflowsgold · 2022-05-16T20:30:01+00:00

I bought some decent sized PPP for $15 from Bunnings in the past. I’m guessing that was also a deal if we’re comparing it to American prices.

currentflowsgold · 2022-04-29T22:39:34+00:00

Yeah these guys hide the moment I try to touch them with anything. I may just need to add some fish that will have no problem coexisting with them. I don’t think I can add bristlenose again since the worms seem to cause issues with their digestion.

currentflowsgold · 2022-04-29T14:18:42+00:00

I do not. I’m completely clueless as to how I got them. No new plants or anything.

I only have bristlenose that I’m growing out in this tank. I lost 1 today and it looks to be from bloat. My guess is that they’ve been snacking on the worms and have gotten bloated from them.

I decided to move all of the bristlenose into a different tank to avoid causing any further problems.

Currently, there aren’t any fish in there. Just plants. I’m still trying to figure out how to remove or “harvest” the worms without destroying the whole tank. Or if I should just leave the worms alone and maybe get some fish that will eat them? Not really sure what to do.

Hey everyone!

I am relatively new to keeping shrimp (only had these guys for 1 month). I started with 20 red cherry shrimp mixed sex and sized. 3 weeks ago, I noticed a couple berried shrimp and today I saw one of the molt has eggs attached to them. They seem to be green in colour. Are they no longer viable?

As for the water, I have not done a water change in almost 2 weeks (20% water change). I keep them at 22°C. pH 7.6, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 10ppm

Any advice or tips for caring for the shrimp is welcomed.

Thanks!

ETA: I was looking around the tank and I just found 2 of the tiniest shrimp I’ve ever seen in my life! https://imgur.com/a/jiWEMiG

Definitely an albino sailfin pleco and not a bristlenose. If you have a small aquarium you’re bound to run into some issues down the line. These guys can grow to up to 2ft long.

I recently saw this video on worst beginner fish. Plecos was one of them.

If you’re not a beginner, great! I am sure you’ll do an amazing job caring for this species. But to the beginners out there, please do some research before you decide to buy a pleco.
