Yep they need salt, a lot of places like petsmart and big box stores sells them as freshwater but they are not. A sign of not enough salt is red bloody streaks and white patches all over. If you are planning on keeping these guys you need a cycled tank, a hydrometer and make sure salt level sits...

What is the salinity level in the tank? They are brackish fish and need a high salt concentration or they die within a week or two

Albino bristlenose, there is 36 of them

Found a bunch of eggs in my pleco tank. Usually I keep them with parents but this time I took them out so my kids can watch them grow. Still have the egg but already swimming:)

Do any of the shrimp have white dots around their eyes? I just went through the same thing and turned out they had parasites..

Thanks! I would of never thought of a Rubbermaid container. That would work great while we are swapping the two tanks. I could even make my filter work with that :)

I currently have a 55 gallon tank which homes 3 plecos between 3 to 5 inches and a whack of guppies. The tank has 2 aquaclear 50 filters and I do 50% water changes twice a week. Few days ago I was given a common pleco who is about 12 inches long due to its tank starting to leak. My plan was to...

My first attempt at red cherry shrimp started with a beta tank. It was a five gallon planted. As soon as I let the shrimp ( ten of them) i the tank the bettA went nuts for them. I grabbed the net and started fishing them out right away. They were in the tank for about 5 mins before I got them...

That pic was taken about a week ago.. The babies are free swimming now

Yep looks berried.. Here's one of my ladies:)

I'm having a mini cycle issues in one of my shrimp tanks. Just curious if a little bit of prime would harm my shrimp. Tried to google it but getting lots of mixed reviews so wondering if anyone has any personal experience with this. Thanks for any advice:)

I think I'm more staring to worry about my bamboo shrimp.. The tiger shrimp are turning out to be quite the bullies:(

Thanks.. Will keep them together and see what happens. Can't seem to find too much info bout that online

Thanks for the advice. I'm heading to a local lfs in a bit anyways so will see what I find:)

That sounds like a great idea.. Add couple new females and see what happens:)

That's what I thought at first but the tanks they die in all have perfect water.. Ph 7, ammonia and nitrite 0 and nitrates at about 10, temp sits at 27 degrees. They usually die at about 2 months and at that point they eat twice a day , crushed flakes, shrimp pellets and baby live shrimp which...

I don't seem to have luck keeping them long term in breeding nets. If I try they seem to die. The fry really enjoy the baby rcs tho and they kinda help keep my shrimp population down which is good because my rcs tank is way over populated. But for some reason my fry overall have a very low...

I like the clear plastic one I got. They only usually stay there for few days tho and then I toss the in my shrimp tank till they are about a month or two and then I find them new homes

The boy is only about 4 months old and still growing. The girl just dropped about 30 babies last night. Kinda curious to see how they will turn out.

Sorry for the sideways pic:(

Cool .. Here's a pic of my guys.. Kinda hard to get a good pic of the male tho..

Sorry I meant pic lol

Yesterday I added few oebt to my 5 gallon bamboo shrimp tank. I was just wondering if the bamboo shrimp would eat the blue shrimps babies if they swam into the fan claw things? Thanks and advice is greatly appreciated:)

Got a paic?

Most sucker fish need driftwood in their diet. Also algae pellets for sucker fish. My pleco also loves cucumber sweet potato and green peas without the shell. Feeding them flakes is not enough to keep the little guy healthy.
