Is this the Ring of death?
Everyone asks “Rarest Caridino” this and “OMG caridinos are the best”, but what about neocaridinos? What are the coolest looking neo’s you guys know? Are there any OE variation, or snowflake patterns? I know it’s not possible but what about any rare colours?
That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered crustacean you ever set eyes on!
Is it normal for the water in my tank to be tinted yellow? Just slightly but enough to be noticeable.
Just started a shrimp tank and they seem to be doing well. I have about 15 baby ghost shrimp in my tank as well and they all seem to get along. By any chance does anyone know what color type are my shrimp? They were just labeled as Yellow Shrimp when I bought them. Also, they don't seem to eat anything I feed them, whether it be Hikari Algae wafers, Tetramin tropical flake, Shrimp Space "Food to improve the immunity of shrimp", Hikari Crab cuisine, or Aqueon Herbivore shrimp food. Maybe it's because my tank is very well cycled with a ton of biofilm and algae? Not sure but I just bought some repashy soilent green, hopefully they eat that. This video was shortly after a molt where the males came to breed the female, so I hope in a month I'll get some babies but I'm just worried about what to feed them :/. Most picky shrimp ever haha
Hello I'm setting up a 3 gallon freshwater tank and currently my water parameters are ph 6.4 gh 0 Kh 0. I do plan on slowly increasing GH but before I add shrimp, I want to know what shrimp can live happily with 0kh?

I know I have some planaria (this ain't it) that I'm trying to deal with, but I have a berried shrimp and now am worried about some worms like this I have noticed.
I have a 5 gallon heavily planted cycled tank. I get RO water because my well is 8.5 to 9.0 Ph. What do I need to add, and how much? Many thanks!!
Is the food I prepared not to your liking, my liege?
I found at least 3 molts and got a nice pic of this boy who has definitely grown
Look at this cool shrimp I found in my skittles tank. There are a few like this
Just got this neo today an absolute unit and couldn’t tell if she was pregnant or not?
just got this trio from aqua huna :) they're all smaller than the ones I've had in the past but I've only had males, could they be immature? especially the dark one
WHAT A BOUNTIFUL HARVEST MY FRIENDS
Ordered shrimp and they should be arriving today. I am sitting here so eagerly waiting for them to be delivered 😁
I have so many snails in my shrimp tank. I made some mistakes-didn't dip my plants, while cycling the snail population exploded, etc. I got 15 shrimp who mostly seem to be well, but they are fighting for their life for food and space sometimes. I just want to feed my shrimp and have them eat comfortably. But, I do not think I am psychologically capable of just...squishing them all. I don't know if I have it in me. I know people say to get assassin snails, but I hear they are gnarly and terrible for how they kill other snails. Like, it would be much quicker and kinder to just squish them. I tried to squish one a second ago and just couldn't do it. My husband will do it for me, but idk. Am I terrible person if I rid my tank of snails?!
I love him sm
