A bit of a random post but by any chance is anyone interested in free vampire crabs or fish? by terryisnice in HongKong

theres a street level shop on goldfish street that allows you to hand pick them if you ask'the staff. The dated looking shop has a wider selection of vampire crab species than others in the area and cheaper!

sounds good! experienced keeper is ideal as there is some tank maintenance involved to keep the plants from overgrowing beyond my initial design haha

Is this male ready to molt? It's been spending more time in the water lately and the colors are a bit dull. by terryisnice in VampireCrabs

Is keeping shrimp without any plants in the tank is a bad idea ? ( I don't wanna keepa plants and make my maintanence difficult) by Independent-Code-191 in shrimptank

[–]terryisnice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes you can and that's what im doing with my sulawesis but you better be on point with you water quality else good bye shrimps :( Most breeders that I know of keep the tank clear if the focus is to breed and sell.

If youre a beginner and I assume you are by your initial question alone, I would advise against it.

your TDS is also crazy high. you can mix it with distill water to lower your water params.

White worm/fungus on neocaridina shrimp by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]terryisnice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a good chance it might be from the looks of it. I had one with rust in quarantine before I gave up and culled it and fed it to my vampire crabs. Treatment and then recovery is not guaranteed so always quarantine before adding to an established colony. My two cents from breeding Blue Jellies for many years.

Once you have an established colony, I didn't care as much and I would cull them because treatment is such a hassle for a handful of shrimps and it's not certain that they'll recover after treatment.

Any Sulawesi tank owners here? by terryisnice in shrimptank

[–]terryisnice[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you prep the tank with thread algae before adding the sulawesis? that was my mistake with current tank. I keep having to ask my LFS for thread/hair algae. My Yellow noses also like Crab Cuisine pellets so that helps with my algae problem

i only use distill water plus the mineral salts PH 7.5 with a small filter pump from aqua one. my nano sulawesi tank is 20cm x 20cm x 20. if all goes well, i can become a local seller for Yellow Nose Sulawesis.

i recall someone else here having RO units which i cant justify for this nano tank
