What am I doing wrong? (RCS)

Posted: 20 Jan 2020 08:06 PM PST

Hello, all--

I'm currently on like...round ten of trying to get a red cherry shrimp colony going, after about a year of not trying.

Things were a-ok with the two "tester" shrimp I released into the tank, so I added about 15 more, and now, just a few days later, they're randomly dying off. I am removing all uneaten food, the water is clean, there are live plants...it's an established tank that's been going for 4 years. No other creatures in the tank.

it's particularly upsetting that one of the casualties was a large berried female. It looked like she tried to molt and then died as a result of that?

I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong? Everyone says RCS are soooooo easy to keep, but this is seriously the tenth time I've tried to get a colony going and had them randomly show up dead.

Any advice would be great...these disasters are expensive!

Is the berried mama a caridina or neocaridina? Labeled as “Aura blue” which is a caridina morph but looks like a neo to me

Shrimp tankmate recommendations for a 5 gallon?

Rescaped the jungletank!

Reading up on shrimp, would reading on cherry red shrimp suffice in terms of care if I have blues and yellows too? Not sure what they are? I also have clear ones. I think they are ghost shrimp?

The beginning of the cycling of the new shrimp tank, about 1 week in.

What’s this dudes grade?

I want to make my boyfriend a planted shrimp tank. What kind of soil or whatever do I use? What kind of pump, water, how big? Haha I want it to be nice so I need your help? Also, we’re can I find shrimp? My pet store only has ghost shrimp.

Need help figuring out cause of all my shrimp deaths.

Posted: 20 Jan 2020 10:15 AM PST

UPDATE:

I am conducting an experiment with ghost shrimp.

  1. Cup with anubias + driftwoof
  2. Cup with aquascaping tool
  3. Cup with cleaned vials of API test kit

If the shrimp survive the next few hours, I will assume it was ammonia kicked up from moving the gravel while replanting.

Hey r/shrimptank,

This weekend, I suddenly lost 60% of my tiger shrimp, the rest seemed lethargic and were turning white, and their legs were not very coordinated or lying on their side. I lost the rest today. I am not entirely sure why they died, so I need your help figuring that out.

Tank parameters:

Ammonia: 0

Nitrite: 0

Nitrate: 2-3

pH: 6.8

gH: 8

kH: 2

What I did differently this weekend:

I bought some anubias on driftwood from aquariumplantsfactory, and put those in the tank. My first suspicion was pesticides due to the fast die off, but they insist their plants are not treated with pesticides nor copper. I am inclined to believe them since they are a reputable seller. I am purchasing a copper test kit just to double check.

I also bought a new aquascaping tool and moved some plants around on the same day as putting in the anubias, but the tool should be stainless steel and I rinsed it beforehand.

Finally, I did perform some API tests on the same day, and I usually dip the cleaned vials into the tank water. I never had issues with this before, but maybe some chemical residues from the test got into the tank?

Let me know what you think! Thanks in advance.

Serial killer amano shrimp

Posted: 20 Jan 2020 09:17 PM PST

I've been breeding amanos for some time now. I still have my og set of 6 (5F, 1M) and they're about 1.5-2" and they are about 3 years old and are the most carnivorous and blood thirsty shrimp I've ever kept. They're great breeders, getting buried week after week but they go through feeder minnows like crazy!!

I used to keep them in my main tank where I had a betta and some white clouds and they ate ALL of them. So I separated them into their own tank since I can't get rid of them, they're my breeders! But I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this wile caring for them. Most of the babies I never see grow up because I'm always sold out and I've never kept any because of how much they go for.

It would be interesting to be able to afford to keep a pair of offspring and see them grow up.

some of my cherrys are acting weird?

Posted: 20 Jan 2020 09:02 PM PST

ok so i didn't do anything new other than put a piece of broccoli in the tank a few minutes ago for them to snack on (which about four of them are really enjoying!) but two of them are swimming around near the top of the water, and another was swimming around a bit in the middle, did i just scare them by putting my hand in, or did i do something wrong? or are they ok? sorry if i'm overreacting i'm just worried about my shrimp.

Need help, dying RCS.

Posted: 20 Jan 2020 07:47 PM PST

First shrimp tank but not first aquarium. Fluval Spec 5 gallon, fully fishless cycled. Fluval stratum. Full of plants. Plants healthy. Shrimp all purchased from Petco.

RCS keep dying, including a berried mama. :(

0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 20ppm or less nitrates. Gh 5, kh 2, pH 7~. Dosing with a quality mineral shrimp supplement specifically for shrimp (atrium something). Small water changes (usually just wait until water evaporation drops level a couple inches and add half a gallon) with premixed gallon jugs of RO/purified water, store bought. Treated with 2 drops of Prime (just in case), and the mineral supplement based on volume. I feed them boiled kale and Hikari "crab cuisine" pellets.

I've had 5 die out of 10. It's sad and hard to watch. They mostly seem to die/struggle with molting. Several have successfully molted and then died after, some unable to molt successfully.

How can I help them?

EDIT; pH is actually 6.6.
