Still not sure what sex that one shrimp is.. given it has no visible saddle, it might be male, but I am not sure, sorry.
If you can find the brand name of that filter, it would help. If it is an Aqua Clear, I can assure you that replacing the impeller shaft is both easy and quick to do. Other brands I may not be familiar with, but if replacement parts are available, usually installing them is not very difficult at all. They are made with home repair in mind as a rule, nobody is going to take a filter in for servicing. But a LFS might be able to help you fix it if you get the parts. Depends on the store and their staff, pretty much.
Algae on a plate is great for shrimp - they don't need much. Shrimp pellets are enjoyed also. But clean water is imperative. You must keep ammonia at 0, nitrite at 0 and nitrate below 30 ppm. Without a functional filter that might be hard to achieve.. so yeah, I'd take out those fry if the filter isn't working.
No worries I understand they are still young I really want them to start breeding don't want any to die :/
Also do you know how big these guys get? And if and when they reach their max size can I put them in my community tank?
I don't know what make the filter is :/
I don't think it says anything on it...
It's not on a plate it's on a rock or slate type it's just growing on there so I was thinking about moving it from my community tank into my shrimp tank?
Also I was wonder could I feed them cucumbers?
I may need to get some pellets
The filter is working fine but just making a lot of noise which is annoying :/
I was saying if I should move my fry as they will pollute the water more quickly
