5G yellow shrimp tank

[bayst]

Thanks, Fishycat! Another berried one today! That makes two.

The girl shrimp say they have noticed one really rugged male shrimp in there. They call him Grizzly Man

Lol! As long as Grizzly-Shrimp doesn't prove to be loony and lock the shrimplets in that hut and turn them into Enigmas! :nono:

Congrats and GL with the cardinals!!! This might be of interest:

That is AWESOME information in that link. Thank you. I'll need to read more closely when my daughter naps!

I just got 6 more Cardinals, bringing the total to 7.
All are doing well. I might start a Cardinal Shrimp thread. If I don't, I'll just update in my 10g about them.

First yellow shrimp babies spotted. Huzzah!
And a new berried one.

I HIGHLY recommend yellows.

They do look like they'd taste sweet if eaten, don't they?

They are... but it takes 3 thousand to make a decent meal. mg:

help 5 gallon stocking question

So I have an established 5gal with some ghost shrimp in it, and will be picking up some Red cherries today. How many can i put in a 5 gal? It is going to be an invert only tank and would like to get multiple kinds ands colors of shrimp. Are there any out there that don't mix or can I pretty much do whatever? What about some Amanos down the line when I start getting some algea? thanks for all the help love the tanks you all have posted.

I'm keeping a close eye on this thread.

I want cardinals so bad! I just don't know if I would be able to keep them/breed them. My water is VERY hard and 8.0 Ph out of the tap. My malawa shrimp are doing awesome but I know they are a lot less sensitive than cardinals.

Watch my 10 gallon thread. That's where I'll post updates about the Cardinals. How hard is your water, numbers-wise?

 

[blue2fyre]

KH: 286.4 ppm
GH: High, I don't the exact number because the test tube over flowed before it changed color.

So yeah liquid rock. My mbuna love it
