amano shrimp trouble!

[hippy guy]

I bought 4 amano shrimp, and I didn't notice until I got home, but one only has a few legs (just the legs, mouth area stuff is all ok)
Will this grow back, I don't want to take him back,cuz they'd prolly just toss him out he is eating pretty fiercley on some hikara algea tabs

 

[hippy guy]

He only has one leg (( but like I said he's all over the place eating, can still climb on drifwood and such..will the other amanos try to eat him?

 

[Flossie]

Been looking online and it looks like a little should grow with each molt?? Make sure he is able to eat until then... That would probably be the most important thing... Also make sure there is nothing to pick on him or eat him. Lol

 

[hippy guy]

Well other than the other amanos..if trouble pursues, he will be in a non planted neon tetra betta tank (never had shrimp troubles in this tank )

 

[Flossie]

i'm sure he'll be fine Just keep an eye on him Let me know what happens... I just got shrimp for the first time. I love them

 

[hippy guy]

I love shrimp, and I love that my amanos get along with my other shrimps there cool

 

[alLexX]

in a couple moults he'll be good as new

 

[hippy guy]

So I gave him a piece of a hikar singing algae wafer, and had to give a few more, because everyone wanted a piece (even the kuhlis haha)

 

[Flossie]

Lol mine actually like the sinking wafers
With krill and everything... They like everything ... Haha

I wanna get some cherry shrimp
The orange shrimp are really cool looking as well

 

[hippy guy]

I love cherries! They breed fast, and in a big population, can be quite a cleaning force lol

 

[hippy guy]

So after discussion, we will be moving legs (as we've decided to call him lol) to my ladys 10 gal betta tetra tank. I'm sure he will have no problem getting fed there (for some reason, as soon as food hits the floor in that tank, its like its invisible to the fish

Lol well then he'll be in heaven! Haha all that food to himself.

Do u have cherry shrimp? Seems like I read that they can be a a little more sensitive to water conditions... Or something like that...

 

[hippy guy]

Crystals can be, cherries, yes, but not as much

 

[hippy guy]

I keep my tank pretty tidy though..I bet I could keep crystals, just never wanted to pay so much for such a little, delicate vert...

 

[Flossie]

Ahhh ok I wanna get some cherry at some point ...

 

[hippy guy]

Get a few you'll have 100 lol

 

[Flossie]

Get a few you'll have 100 lol

Lol sounds good

So my amano, he's still in my ten, cuz I didn't want to stress him out being biought, moved, put in, then taken right out. The tank he's going too iks the exact same (but slightly higher ph ..don't know why either...) but I'm moving him to tank tank in the morning (already lights out for these guys) my question is of acclimation. He tank is.a smidge cooler and higfher ph (just bareley) should I acclimate, or just fload a baggie to get temp correct?

Ehh I'm not really sure bout shrimp cause I'm a shrimp newbie but if the ph is different I'd acclimate to the ph as well

 

[hippy guy]

Yeah, I guess better safe than sorry anyways (especially since legs has no legs lol)
