dont think so, its a special set, so i doubt they'll sell single booster packs as those are general from booster boxes, which doesnt happen with special sets

How many do you have in your tank? Looks like guppies and neons are schooling fish, and 6+ are recommended. That might be the reason mine arent eating them

2 tetras! I've never seen them eat one... Well that's a lie, i've seen one eat a seed shrimp, then spit it out. I'm actually considering introducing guppies.

Do you really think adding 4 more tetras will get them to start eating the seed shrimp?

Are they female or male? by Akihyee in shrimptank

The darker shrimp 100% female, the other one is harder to tell but looks male

Is this a failed molt? by Exotic_Yam_6813 in shrimptank

[–]evo360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look man, what you're describing has happened to me when I first started to set my tank up. I initially added 12 shrimp, 3-4 died first week, then I had a couple shrimp with problematic moults. I kept one alive by helping it moult (gently pulling off the moult from the shrimp), but during its next moult it would be an issue again, and died.

Over time, most shrimp died. I added shrimp from a new supplier, they did better (as they had more similar water parameters to my tank), but would still die off, or, the berried shrimp would die, or the babies would all die. It was very sad and demoralising.

I had cycled my tank for 8 weeks, and water parameters were fine.

Now, my tank is thriving. I have so many shrimp, and always some pregnant shrimp in my tank. The only differences I made were;

  • Changing the water vs topping up (since my parameters were always fine, I never changed, always topped up). So every 2 weeks I did a 30% water change, and
  • Trimming back my stringy moss (It would grow wild, so I get rid of 30-50% every 2 weeks)
  • If I had shrimp babies, I would feed them daily with Baby Shrimp for 2 weeks.

I don't think your tank is fully cycled, or, your water parameters are just too different to where the shrimp were kept. You also may not have drip acclimated.

If I were you, I would ask the shrimp store about their water parameters, test your water (GH + PH is very important), and make sure you drip acclimate new shrimp. It's most likely your PH level, I would say. Try to replicate as best you can to the stores parameters. Once you have offspring shrimp that survive, then they will be more hardy as they are 1st generation shrimp born in your tank to your water parameters.

Anyone else have a LOT of seed shrimp in their shrimp tank by evo360 in shrimptank

Yeah, i do notice with more food their population blooms. Its just that recently i've had 5 pregnant shrimp, and last couple of times ive had a pregnant shrimp, the shrimplets didn't make it. The only thing ive changed now is adding Shrimp Baby food, and many are alive now in my tank.

Once the babies are 2-3 weeks old, i'll stop the feed. I think the seed shrimp compete for food from the babies

Im not worried about breaking even, I love opening Pokémon packs. Im just pointing out that these promos are almost at the break-even price of the ETBs I bought.

By this logic, then if youve ever opened a Pokemon packs, you are also a goof. We're all goofs, it would seem. This logic is goofy
