Marine Mutualism: Cleaner Shrimp

Marine Mutualism: Cleaner Shrimp

​

At first glance, you might think the situation in the above photo looks dire for this cleaner shrimp, which has ventured into the mouth of the giant eel, a voracious predator in its coral reef habitat. With one snap of its jaw, the eel could easily crush the shrimp and swallow it. However, the shrimp is not in danger of becoming this eel's dinner. The much larger animal remains still, with its mouth open, and allows the smaller shrimp free passage as it picks out and eats tiny parasites living inside the eel's mouth and on its skin. In this interaction, both organisms benefit: The cleaner shrimp gains access to a supply of food, and its eel client is freed of parasites that might weaken it or spread disease. There are many other examples of such mutually beneficial "cleaner" and "client" relationships in marine habitats. However, other interactions between species are less benign for one of the participants, and still other interactions can negatively affect the reproduction and survival of both species involved.

Just finished setting this tank up. I have never kept a shrimp-only tank but I have done lots of research and i’m very exited. Hoping for the val to grow in a little and not look so bad. Does Anyone know any good neocaridina sellers online the can ship to me in florida?

Did my ghost shrimp eat my cherry shrimp? And what do I do now?

Posted: 07 Jan 2020 10:06 PM PST

I have had ghost shrimp for over a year. I decided to expand my horizons and get cherries. I went to a local aquatics shop to get only cherries. The lady accidentally caught two ghost shrimp along with the 8 cherries. She said it should be okay because they already lived in the store together.

So I had my new guys for about two weeks when I left for three days. I come back and there are only 3 cherries left. So now I have three cherries, two ghosts, two mystery snails, and a feeder guppy that grew up a little (from another store that accidentally caught him when getting me feeder ghost shrimp).

Is it possible that the ghost shrimp ate the cherries? Or the guppy ate them? I think the guppy is way to small to eat a shrimp, but that's my opinion. The tank is 3 gallons -- which I think might be the reason for them not getting along. Since I got home, the ghosts stay at the bottom and the cherries stay in the water lettuce at the top.

So two of the cherries I currently have are/were berried. One laid her eggs today (what's the right terminology?) while the other still has hers. I would like to have these eggs survive. What should I do in order to increase the chances of that happening? I have a second tank that I can put the ghosts in, but I can't take both tanks back to college in two weeks.

Can a more experienced person tell me what I did wrong and how to come back from it?

What species of pistol shrimp is this? It's obviously not a Tiger as it was sold to me as, but I love that color pattern, so no complaints here!

Opinions on my new setup for cherry shrimp? Also can you guys give me some tips on cycling without fish/specifically for shrimp? The back is still a mess because the plants are bent but it’ll be okay.
