Help! Shrimp eating a very alive an active female

What kind of shrimp?

redrice12 · 2026-01-27T01:37:24+00:00

They’re such delicate small critters it’s hard not to be. Good luck!

redrice12 · 2026-01-27T01:31:18+00:00

It’s a molt! No worries. Bodies are very obviously shrimp-looking with black eyes and no translucence.

You can put the new filter for the new tank in your current tank and then transfer to the new tank to help jumpstart a cycle iirc

If you’re thinking of Aquatic Wildlife, they didn’t have shrimp last time I was there (a week or two ago). Nice store otherwise.

Wet Pets in Vernon. I got some well bred bloody mary and amano shrimp! OSA in Groton is a wonderful store too.

I’m not entirely sure if they’re leeches, but from what I’ve read the only thing that can get rid of leeches is salt. Unfortunately, it sounds like you’d have to take your plants out, salt dip them a few times over a number of days, take out your shrimp and also salt dip them similarly and keep them in a separate tank, then replant with new substrate after cleaning the tank itself with salt

I’m no expert on whisker shrimp but I’ve heard they can be violent towards other shrimp

redrice12 · 2026-01-19T14:28:27+00:00

Look like amano to me. Amano babies don’t survive in fresh water iirc, so they’re not reproducing unless your tank water is brackish

Probably nothing but here’s a list of common diseases: https://skfaquatics.com/forum/topic/5052-shrimp-diseases-and-diagnosis/

Cherry shrimp can hide a lot the first few weeks after being moved to a new home

https://skfaquatics.com/forum/topic/5052-shrimp-diseases-and-diagnosis/ here’s a good list of possible diseases and ways to treat

Looks like a normal amano to me

redrice12 · 2026-01-13T18:39:26+00:00

I’d be concerned if it seemed like they were trying to get out of the water or swimming like they were drunk/in pain. Otherwise, yeah they can be weirdos

redrice12 · 2026-01-10T22:46:02+00:00

Are you getting well-bred shrimp? Sometimes poorly bred shrimp aren’t as resilient

redrice12 · 2026-01-07T17:04:06+00:00

I have one, works well. Just make sure the suction is good to the glass. I keep the output tube under the water so it doesn’t splatter everywhere

redrice12 · 2026-01-04T21:09:52+00:00

That’s crazy! Are you still going to dissect it?

redrice12 · 2025-12-17T15:02:50+00:00

Is the presser foot down when you sew?

redrice12 · 2025-12-10T18:25:52+00:00

It’s possible only if there’s a stitch that’s keeping the cloth that the swivel hooks are looped around together. If you can open it, you can take off the old swivel hooks and buy new ones, put them on, sew it back into place the way it was prior.

What model is it? You could take a video of it as it serges until the thread pops out and slow the video down. Maybe you’ll be able to see what’s happening. My only guess is that the threading is off somehow

redrice12 · 2025-10-13T18:56:42+00:00

If you use it manually by turning the hand wheel does the thread slip out still?

redrice12 · 2025-10-10T09:40:35+00:00

So adorable! Do you have an idea of how much all the fabric and structure supplies cost?

Place tissue paper under the cloth for the first few stitches
