It's been almost 3 weeks and my berried shrimps are still status quo... no shrimplets yet. How come so long? Temperature?

Walau... so small how to see?

Over the weekend, I see one of the berried shrimps got only 2 eggs left in the saddle and she just molted a couple minutes ago with that 2 eggs on the molt 

@Arrow Sifu

want to know how long it takes for shrimplet to become adult size?

Hi arrow, any reason why the ketapang leaf can accelerate the shrimplet's growth? Will the leaf pollute or affect the water like normal shrimp food does if we leave it for too long inside the tank?

Perhaps your tank is not fully cycled yet. Check for ammonia/nitrites level in your water.
Sometimes it takes more than 4 weeks to cycle.

How long can you leave it inside the tank?

So its safe to say I can break it up into small pieces and leave it in my tank indefinately.

i tested my tank ph = 8.2
help??

what brand of anti chlorine can i used to bind the heavy metal?

What is the best way to lower down ph for crs tank  ?

Do you use any ph down chemical solution ?
If yes ,what is the brand ?

I found out that someone is selling the Hawaiian Red Shrimp (Opae Ula) at Singapore. Below is the website. I email the owner. He told me that he doesn't deliver to Malaysia. It looks like I'll be going to Singapore to buy them when I go to Johor to attend some events in the future.

hi guys
want to ask few question
usually how many time u guys do water change and how many % (for nano tank)?
"jentik-jentik" are dangerous to shrimp and baby shrimp?

Just petite nana. Must do some overdue cleaning. The carpet is like a magnet for all sorts of crap.

I'm already running an air line but it doesn't seem to help.

edit: Now that you metioned it... it does seem the marimos were not as dark as before. It seems they've grown this furry bit on top. Any remedies?

Hi shrimp lovers,

This thread has been a thoroughly fascinating read. I've been meaning to get into the hobby and having read some of the sharings and comments here, I think I'm ready to give it a go.

I do have a few questions that I hope you guys can help shed some light on:

1. Is the blue tiger shrimp a good idea for a beginner? If not, would the blue jelly shrimp be a better option?

2. I'm thinking of mixing blue and red shrimps in 1 tank but I'm worried about interbreeding that will affect colour quality. Any advice?

My ideal tank at the moment is one that looks like Sniper's (a personal size ideal for personal attention). To avoid committing accidental genocide, I will follow the guidelines provided in this thread and I'm prepared to start with a small colony of 5 to 10 to limit the blood on my noobie hands.

Any suggestions on viable colour mixes or any general issues are more than welcomed.

Cheers

@jirochl and arrow,

Thanks for your feedback on the matter.

One more question guys, can I put some rabbit snails in there with the shrimps? Anybody has experience with that? I read in some other forum that they can be a great (and harmless) addition to a shrimp tank.

And yes I do like the deep blue shade of the blue tiger a lot. I think given that the plantation, moss, etc. will provide a lush green backdrop, I thought a good mix of fire red and deep blue shrimps (maybe some black ones too) would give it a very nice contrast. Just imagine the close ups during a feeding frenzy or even just having the shrimps of different colours casually lepaking around, probably thinking who's crap they're gonna eat next...

We may never know who's turd tastes like chicken in the shrimp world but a photographer equipped with his macro lense will probably know who ate the most nutritious pile of shrimp turd. Amen.
