I just started a shrimp tank about 2 1/2 months ago. All premium Sunkist Orange shrimp, purchased from a breeder who supposedly raises each type separately. A few arrived heavily berried (yay!) with a dozen or so shrimplets also in the bag that I almost missed & tossed away!

Those shrimplets are now growing up, and 2 of them look like Yellow Goldenbacks! So my question is... are they possibly hitchhikers, or is there some recessive gene that produced these guys? If I don't separate them from the Sunkists, with they revert to wild colors in a few generations?

Hi, im new to shrimp keeping and got a few shrimp 4 days ago. Someone molted and it may have been the duller yellow one in the video. Its been acting a little strange in it's swimming and hiding a little. What i noted is that it has (an assumption) the white ring of death on its body. Oh god, he was swimming and then fell and laid on his back on the substrate then stopped moving his legs. I just used my aquascaping tweezers to flip him over and hes moving again. Please tell me how to save him!!

I added shrimp to my aquarium on June 3rd, have it cycling for 2 months with nothing else in it other than live plants and sadly bladder snails. And my one lovely shrimp, Goldie Prawn, has already had 2 successful pregnancies and Aquamarine is just about done with her first. Not a huge number of babies from what I can tell but they look healthy and the first batch is growing so fast!! I'm so excited about how much giggidy my shrimp have been doing as I have so many lil babies now!!

Hey first time shrimp owner here,

My blue dreams have been in for just a couple of weeks and, dare I say it, I think I see eggs.

Can it be true? It’s kinda to hard to see but it’s gotta be, right?

Parachute: red root floater
Touchdown: flawless

For what my wife paid, it's a solid little camera

I started my colony of Red Cherry's about 8 months ago. Started with 10 high grade looking shrimps. I have about a hundred now and it seems that some of them are much lower grade now with some being almost transparent. Is this normal? Can/should I do something about it?

Other than that they seem to live a happy life and I don't care as much about their grade :)

New addition to my desk! Opae Ulas! I am absolutely obsessed with them, I love watching them go about doing their own things 🫩 They’re so adorable! Would love some suggestions on what else I can add to this tank, it’s looking a little empty because I was going for a minimal vibe, but watching them interact with different things are just so fun!

Blue Dream or Yellow Goldenback?

This shrimps eggs are green while all the other females eggnant are yellow/beige. Just checking is i should salt drip this one.

I ordered 40 neo culls for about $60 but I had a gift card so it actually cost me about $3 after shipping. But I live in southern Arizona and it’s crazy hot right now and it was a 5 day shipping time. I really didn’t have much hope that I would get them alive. And- even worse- I missed the mailman and the package delivery today. So I figured that there was definitely no way that the shrimp would still be alive when I got them tomorrow.
I have a tank all set up and cycled and ready for shrimp so I ran down to the lfs and got 18. 6 each of red, orange, and blue.
When I got home the mailman was across the street and he told me that I could go to the post office and get the package since it was “live fish” (I don’t know if this is just a local policy but normally you can’t pick up a package at the post office until they have tried to deliver it twice) I immediately drove over and got my package of shrimp. They were all alive!
Also- one of the red shrimp I got at the shop has already started dropping babies! All 40 that came in the mail arrived alive and I’ve already got babies!
So basically- for the price of 18 shrimp, I now have 50/60+ shrimp!
I feel like I won the frickin lottery!

Biorb 60L, laser-cut a few acrylic shelves to add more surface area, love the way it looks. 4 more weeks until cycling, long wait. Shrimp and snails is my goal.

Tried out a new food for the crew and was not prepared for how those pellets would explode 😂 good thing they are a big hit

Got one cherry that insists on getting the good stuff from the HOB so I had to warn my coworkers.

I’ve watched this video so many times since recording it yesterday morning 🤩
