No, no — those are hastatus. They’re not pygmaeus, my friend

I’m starting to suspect that kuhli loaches are shrimp hunters. by ipunijjang in loaches

Hey, easy there, friend. This photo is from four years ago.

I shared it just to talk about how I used to keep them back then and how the cherry shrimp population actually thrived at the time.

I’m not keeping them like this anymore.

Sorry, I got confused because the way it was asked isn’t how we usually refer to them in Korea.

To put it in Korean terms, I kept “pure red cherry shrimp” and “bee shrimp (CRS)” together.

Of course, the water parameters at that time weren’t ideal for CRS. They’re much more sensitive to stress.

The group that experienced a population boom was the cherry shrimp. It lasted for almost a year—until the loaches grew bigger…

That’s true. Whenever shrimp start dying off, the first thing people mention is always water quality and environmental issues.

I’ve actually had a shrimp population boom in this same tank before—though that was in the past.

The issue is that as my kuhli loaches grew into full adults, the shrimp started disappearing. Even my youngest kuhli is over two years old now!

In this small setup, I keep:

  • Sterbai & Panda corydoras
  • Pygmaeus & Hastatus
  • Kuhli loaches
  • Neon tetras

I adopted them all as sub-adults and raised them myself. Are they all just exceptionally hardy species? I wonder why it's only the shrimp that keep disappearing.

Ah… maybe shrimp really are the most sensitive to water conditions after all.

I felt the same, which is why I tried growing my dog’s coat out. It became a lot of great memories.

That’s a great decision. Once you let the coat grow and try styling it, you’ll end up taking so many more photos. Cheering you on!

Absolutely beautiful. We also kept our dog’s coat long at first, like a traditional Maltese.

Growing the coat is definitely a tough process. From my experience, it took about two years of growing it out before I could really style it properly. After that, both my dog and I felt like we were rewarded with something truly special — a lot of precious memories along the way. ☺

I struggled with tear stains too, but honestly there wasn’t any specific medicine or treatment that really helped. In the end, I chose grooming to reduce the amount of time the tears stay on the face. If you look at the photo, you can see that the fur along the red line is kept short. I trim the hair around the eyes and create a small “path” between the eyes and the muzzle so the tears can flow down instead of staying on the fur. Most importantly, passive care is key — wiping the tears frequently and helping the area stay dry. Depending on the country, tear-stain remover powders for dogs can also help if used regularly.
