They're commonly known as the Thai Micro crab. Have any of you kept them? Where should I buy them that doesn't bankrupt me :lol: but they're also good quality? I'm keeping them with cherries. Thanks in advance! :thanks:

Thanks for the reply. I've also looked at recorded sightings in the west. Not very many and very spread out. However they are here, its just a matter of finding them at the right time and in the right place. If i'm unable to find them in the west I'll be driving long hours this summer to where I...

Thanks! I think I'll pick up on of those. Although its not as pretty I am mostly looking for practicality. These tanks would be set up more for studies than for viewers. Plus its nice when the plants are lush and green. I really appreciate the answer! Just out of curiosity, have you ever used...

You're welcome. Palaemonetes sp. is another way of saying the shrimp are of the Palaemonetes species. In other words, they could be any of the Palaemonetes species members. If you are completely new to shrimp keeping Ghosts is a good start (they're inexpensive and can be hardy). For community I...

Hi, so I have this small 5 gallon right under a window. The sun hits it so well that algae is growing plentiful. I would still like some lighting for the evenings though. I want it to be relatively cheap (I might be using this large scale for multiple studies) and I'm new to the whole DIY...

You're very welcome! When people say "Ghost Shrimp" or "Grass Shrimp" ect. they are really referring to members of the Palaemonetes family of shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus, Palaemonetes pugio ect.). In my opinion Palaemonetes paludosus are the most tank friendly. Unfortunately the species is...

In my opinion I would have Amanos, they're non aggressive and would work if you decided to get smaller Neocaridina davidi ect. I would watch the African dwarf frogs though. I kept them with a few ghosts. The 3 shrimp lasted approximately 3 days. Depending on the size of your tank and frogs it...

Hi, So I've been searching for Craspedacusta sowerbyi in the lakes and ponds around Salt Lake county. They look like small jellyfish no bigger than a quarter. I'd appreciate anyone who is willing to send me some to study and keep. Thanks and have a nice day! :thanks: Sincerely, Searching

Hi, I've been searching for these little guys for 2 years now. I've decided to ask for help. I've visited almost every pond and lake in Salt Lake County (where I live) over the summer and I haven't even seen one :confused: I know they're really hard to keep alive so I've made a custom nano for...
