A bit off, i'm trying to setup a aquarium for shrimp, does this look strong to you for 10 years? 2x1x1 feet aquarium. The welding looks ok but i'm not sure any one have bad experience with it...

Thanks for the info

Hi bro arrow, thanks for ya Palmata Shrimp. Berried a few more and say 1 released 1 shrimplet.. but didn't see it after few days... not sure got makan by other shrimp or not.. BTW the Malaya larva you mention really didn't survive inside my tank... too clean i think... didn't see any larva.... throw in some spirulina water in but didn't see the berried Malaya shrimp larva.. after few weeks for it to release..

Whitehawk : try feed to bigger fish if you have like oscar, aro or bichir. Those Damselfly & Dragonfly larva should be a good live meal for them try on your own luck.

Er... what i mean is bigger fish that the mouth can swallow the Damselfly & Dragonfly larva.. not necessary those fish i mention. even gold fish might eat them if they can swallow them animal instinct.. move = food......




I see.. most probably they are hiding but been a week... miss them a lot and i feel 1 berried dropped the unborn shrimplet.... can only see 1 berried was 2 before today... also i'm having problem differenciate malaya and palmata they both look the same. I mean female.

Mine was male but the male moved after about 1-2 minute.. not sure why but mine survive... i thought they were doing the mouse like thing, after having "fun" and get exhausted but mostly die... really up side down and motionless.... initially planed to left it for the other shrimp as food but it moves.. which puzzle me..

I see, was keeping check on all the shrimp for more 'Rili Shrimp' look. So, they are not called Rili shrimp right?

I moved to another aquarium for the new 'Rili Shrimp' shrimp.

Might keep the existing shrimp and not adding more.. aquarium full of red shrimps now and afraid the bio load might hurt the shrimplets and cause death.

What fish also can share with shrimps as long as the fish mouth not as big as the shrimps. my Red Shrimps, Guppy, Cardinal Tetras and Bumble Bee Goby is in my aquarium no casualty except you don't have hiding place for the shrimps.

If you plan to have shrimplets, most people will say you better keep with only the kind of shrimp you want to breed. If you want fish and shrimplets, I guess your only fish is oto but the oto movement is too fast and will kill the shrimplets. Should be ok if you don't do sudden movement infront of the aquarium.

For Malayan, Arrow might have more experience. Breeding Malayan is hard as he told me.

Sad to hear that but CRS does prove hard to keep unless you have experience.. I used to have 10 but A grade... almost all die except 2 and mostly die due to old age.
Your KH.... might need to be 2-3 If i'm not mistaken. TDS can raise to 100. just my opinion better wait for expert advice . As I fail to breed, just able to keep the from dying until old age. Also try not to fluctuate your temp too much some people say temp also play major role... you know... heat stroke for them hehehe use chiller because they say higher grade shrimps will have higher sensitivity to almost everything...
