Baby shrimp and Scud Problem

Posted: 21 May 2019 02:52 AM PDT

I have a 5 gallon tank with 6 cherry shrimps inside. Recently, one female released baby shrimp and this is the first time for me caring for shrimplets. At the same time, I have a large scud population inside the tank. Will the scuds eat my baby shrimp? Do I need to feed shrimp food if the scuds are also eating all the algae? Any advice for baby shrimp would also be appreciated!

Excited for my first berried shromp but am sad it’s one of the Amanos

Can someone tell me what shrimp I have? They are all supposed to be RCS, but some are much redder than others.

Posted: 21 May 2019 02:19 AM PDT

I am aware that female RCS are supposed to be bigger and redder than their male counterparts, but having never had RCS before I do not know how not-red the male shrimp should be.

If I had two different coloration variants, I would simply be satisfied that the redder ones are females, and the less red ones were males. But that is not what I have, I have three distinct color variations. I have near colorless (three shrimp hanging out close to the one who's eating. I have a somewhat red guy eating, and I have a DEEP red guy hanging out on my sponge filter. (I have more shrimp than this, but this is a good breakdown of the color choices.)

Can someone tell me if I have two different grades of female RCS and two males? Male and female RCS and some colorless variant Neocaridina heteropoda? Male and female RCS and cheap ghost shrimp sold as RCS? A crustacean from the Paleozoic era? What am I looking at?

Whisker Shrimp!

What the heck did I put in this tank?

What the heck did I put in this tank?

So, I'm slowly getting back into the shrimp (I now have a RO/DI unit: heck yeah holding steady at 140) and I thought my previous experience with Neos would be an asset. I told myself 'I know what a N. heteropoda looks like and I know what Caridina cf. cantonensis looks like color-wise. I know most of the trade names for these.' However, I think I've made a goof. Yes, I understand, to see the actual difference you have to look at the endopods under magnification.

​

I was thinking, oh, lets do some goofy things with a batch of Golden Bee shrimp and oh no, the weather for shipping deteriorated into winter-spring silliness. Cancelled it. In my bid to just get shrimp anything and feeling very sorry for myself I wandered into my Petco, remembering that they carried RCS of varying grades and sometimes weird Rillis. Imagine my surprise seeing very nice almost Sakura RCS, Blue Velvets/Dreams, pretty carbon Rillis, and Orange Bee shrimp.

​

What. The. Hey.

​

I'm looking at these really pretty, warm yellow (not neon translucent like I remember Yellow Neos being) and so...I fell and gave them my money for the last of the 'Orange Bee's in the tank. About five including one big girl.

​

All five are doing great. They've molted and survived over the past month. Good molts, everyone is doing great. As this was an impulse purchase I kind of went, 'In ya go kiddos' after sitting on this cycled planted tank. Yay for RO/DI and Salty Shrimp!

​

So, in doing a little more research, I don't think these are Bee/Crystals at all. There is very little transparent warm yellow (lets call this Sunshine Yellow) but lots of strongly pigmented yellow on the back but it doesn't look like a stripe. These don't look like: Orange Sunkists (propinqua) color is too solid and nice.

​

I'm kinda thinking these may be either N. heteromorpha var. Pumpkin (just a really nice grade? but they're warm yellow not orange) or... N. davidi var. Golden Back Yellow. Thing is, going to look at Seagrest they're listed as Neocaridina sp. I'll post pictures in a bit. Has anyone else bought these and figured out what they are? If so let me know!

​

tl;dr bought shrimp labelled as Bee but they're not?! Why even use trade names if they mean nothing!? Let's just stick to genus-species-ssp-variation!

The heck is this?

Brand new babies!

Thank you for the advice!

Posted: 20 May 2019 08:09 AM PDT

I posted a couple days ago asking for advice on my first tank. Everyone suggested adding java moss. I wasn't able to find java moss locally, but I did find willow moss, which Google said is a good alternative, so I added that to the tank. This morning I went to check on the skrimps and noticed my berried girl sitting really still on the marimo ball. I watched her for a minute and suddenly saw a baby pop out of one of the eggs! Managed to see two total, but I'm sure there are several more that I missed. I'm so glad y'all told me to get moss, because now they have lots of places to hide. Thanks guys!!

Question on Calcium for shrimp & snails

Posted: 20 May 2019 06:15 PM PDT

Hi All,

I've got a nicely balanced 20g with about 15 RCS in it and 3 snails. I've never thought to add calcium but I've read it can help with moulting. Do you specifically add calcium in? If so, what sort of impact on Ph should I expect?

Also thinking about Tums or egg shells as a cheap source but let me know if that's a mistake.

Cheers!
