Hi, I’ve had fish for quite some time. The tank is planted and the plecos I added about 5 months ago are thriving (they even bred!) I really like ghost shrimp, but have struggled to keep them alive more than a week in my tank. The plecos don’t bother the shrimp, but I’m wondering if they just...

I have a 30 gallon fw heavily planted tank with guppies, mollies, cory, gourami and cherry shrimp. Stable for many months. I always used scotch brite from the dollar store to clean. Ran out and used a new green and yellow dish sponge, not knowing they apparently are toxic and contain Triclosan...

Hello, I have had a successful colony of yellow bee shrimp for almost 4 months now. In fact, the shrimp have bred successfully and are now carrying eggs again. However, today I have had a death of my shrimp (my second death) and I am unsure what caused it. My water parameters are all in...

Hey! I'm new here and new to this hobby. I have a 5 gallon tank that I thought I cycled properly and just added twelve amano shrimp to it. I thought they would do well because my tank had quite a bit of algae. I made sure to acclimate them before putting them in. In two days three have died...

This morning I got up and turned on the aquarium light and my shrimp were darting around the tank and landing on their backs and sides. Their legs couldn’t grab on and they seem like the want to be upright but can’t. ALL of my shrimp, neocaridina adults, babies, and Caridina shrimp are doing the...

Hi! New to the hobby! yesterday I finally introduced a group of 12 blue dreams to my new planted tank. I’ve had two deaths, and today can’t spot the rest of the group except for a couple. One isn’t looking so good, seeming to be limp. I noticed it’s chest is white inside, maybe I didn’t...

Help! My yellow cherry shrimp has been acting very weird. He has a black spot on one of his legs (I included a picture), and also has been laying on his side and upside down flailing his legs. Is he having trouble molting? My other shrimp have molted just fine, but he has been acting like this...

There's so many options. I have some not good for hiding plants and hornwort in a large community tank. Last time I kept shrimp (in a 10gal) they were treated like a special snack. This time I want to add them to my 80 gallon, the largest inhabitant a rainbow shark (I think adults might even fit...

Hello aquarium forum! I have an 80 gallon well established tank with two undergravel towers as well as a Fluval pump filter. I have larger gravel covering the grate and bottom but a little section of sand for kuhli loaches (they won't bury, however). I have an anubias nana that's nearly 4 years...

Hello, I am curious as to what kind of worm this is. I'm concerned if it's something that will affect my shrimps and snails. I got them today, the worm (only one I could find so far) was with them. I tried my best to take the pictures, please let me know if you need additional pictures. Thank...

I apologize first off, if this is the wrong forum category because I only saw fresh and saltwater and nothing for brackish. I have a brackish setup with Hawaiian Opae shrimp in a 29 gal tank. It's unfiltered and has been fine for two years. I like to keep a little water moving in it, and have...

Hello all! Boy, I haven't been in this site for about two whole years. But I'm glad to be back! Let's get to talking. Sunday, 20th of December. I bought a 5 gallon fish tank and supplies to set up the fish tank. Currently it is in the middle of cycling. I know I am not nearly finished with the...
