I'm certainly no shrimp expert but 17 sounds low to me, I wouldn't/couldn't keep fish that cold, they are tropical creatures after all. You've done your research, got the right substrate, the right rocks etc which is commendable, more than a lot of people do. Have you tested the water for...

hmm, temperature maybe? Small tanks are susceptible to massive temperature swings as the room temp drops.

Sorry to hear that Jack, too much CO2 would be my first guess...

Try some fish food mate, mine love TetraPro Crisp.

Brackish though if i remember correctly?

PFK have the most up to date info on these little fellas and it'll be published in August :wink:

In Little Mountain i had no heater so the tank was probably around 20-22, a PH of 7.4, a GH of 16 and a TDS of 500+. They were the last stats i checked quite some time ago. I had three small fellas and this was the result.....

Yeah man, i dose it with no problems but i've seen some bad effects if you HEAVILY overdose, not on my tanks and not mentioning any names LOL

Through a bizarre turn of events i ended up with a bee shrimp form The Snail Shop and he/she is stunning!

Thanks mate, i've been looking at that, i'll pop along and grab me some :D

My thoughts exactly :wink:

Can't say as i have, i havn't really look TBH i only have 3 adults and they are a nightmare to find in all the plants and rock work. I'll have a good look for them tonight. :)

Hey folks, just thought i'd let you all know that the Crystal Reds that came in "little mountain" from George have bred and i have at least 4 babies that i can see. Happy days hey?!

The only time that mine "zip" as opposed to just normal swimming is when the Co2 gets real high, like when i've turned it up LOL i had them jumping out the first time i did it! Nowadays i just increase it slowly :roll:

I used to use Flubanol for my discus and the shrimp were fine. Dunno if it'll have the same effect on puffers as it does on discus?

Well, by the time i'd gotten round to having a go i'd lost here somewhere in the tank and i've been down the road of ripping the scape apart for the catching of livesock before and it pains me so not this time i'm afraid but i'll certainly have ago when i see another in condition. :D

Cheers guys, i've just had a read through and i recon i'll give it ago. :D

Nice one guys! i'll check those links out, seems like something i could handle, i'll keep you informed......

Hi guys, one of my largest Amano shrimp is heavily laidened with eggs and i'm wondering how to get them to hatch and raise them up? i'm happy to set up another tank and i am guessing that it will need to be semi-saline or somthing but it's gotta be worth a shot? any thoughts?

the snailshop.co.uk sells all sorts. I think the owner is a member?

Flubenol from me too. I was happy about it killing snails but i know some wouldn't be. It was fine with the plants too.

I could be wrong here but i'm pretty sure apple snails climb up out of the water and lay there eggs so you'll have to keep an eye out for them. They can be removed to prevent predation from your fish. I believe they are not too hard to breed.
