Do you have plants, could be hiding in them. Babies usually either swim or rest on items mid range in tank. I sometimes spot them on leaves, but never under things. They need to be in the open water column to grab food. Food must be powdered btw. Finely ground fish flakes are good.

Yes! I've been very happliy surprized because I believed all of the stories about them eating their own. In a 20 gal or larger I don't think you'll have a problem. As I said, all they share tanks with is a Cory and a huge snail. They are awesome to watch. I found one eating its molt just the...

REply to safe cherry shrimp size Hi, I have ghost shrimp with an apple snail and a coryin a 20 gallon. Never had a problem. I have adults, preggers moms and babies all together with plenty of plants to hang out on. The babies usually stay on plants until they molt a couple of times. Neither...

Hi Gboy, What fish will shrimp be sharing tank with? My experience (w 20+ ghost shrimp) has been only fish with large enough mouths to eat shrimp will be a problem. Shrimp bear live young and they hide very well. My 20 gal has 20+ , at least 3 moms carrying berries all the time, share with an...

Fish pellets 2 days, bloodworms 2 days, one day peas, one day fast, then peas again. = 7 days right?

I have a 20 gal planted with about 20 ghost shrimp. ldaniel is right, between 74 and 80 and they will be fine. My tank has only plants, an otto, an apple snail and shrimp. I heard somwhere that having a snail is important. Don't ask me why, but there it is. I just recently found an itsy ting...

Another San Antonian, here. Livin out on the Southern edge (Somerset/Oak Island area) i just saw an itsy tiny baby shrimp in my tank, no bigger than a comma!! That goes against most theories that you can't raise Ghost shrimp fry in a glass tank. I have 1nano 2 gal- plants only 1 20 gal 12...

Welcome. The people here are great!

Read and buy at least 6 more shrimp I bought 12 ghost and amanos and some are berried. I have little hope of larvel survival since my tank has clear sides. I read in "Robyn's Ghost shrimp breeding page" that the easiest way to insure shrimp baby survival is to use a container with solid (not...

I bought 3 snails; 2 mysterys and 1 apple. Neither of the mysterys lived (I should've kept my eye on the lfs employee) How did I find out? After keeping them in quarantine for 3 days and non-movement; I put them in with my glass shrimp. They immediately ripped the doors off and had a feast. i'm...

Was this question too stupid to answer? wow no answers in almost 2 weeks. I'll try another site, mean while looking for tabs at petsmart.

Hi guys, I read that Jobes plant spikes would benefit my plants but I couldn't locate them. All I could find are Miracle-Gro plant spikes which have .05% copper. Will they be safe in aquarium if buried under plants were the fish and shrimp cannot reach them?

I'm thinking now that I will recycle the old Glass umbrella stand instead of the vase. Like a mini commercial aquarium. Anyone been to "the Aquarium" downtown Houston? Awesome!

Thanks for the quick reply and tip on font size. oopsy. Okay so, I should look for what minimum size tank for CRS ownership? Would a 10g be large enough? Thanks again.

Hi all, I've got the dwarf shrimp bug. I love my ghost shrimp at home and I have a cool long cylinder clear vase at work already planted and cycled and looking for some crystal red shrimp for it. It holds about 2 gallons and plants are doing well. They will be the only inhabitants. 1st -...
