Shrimps

[john fox]

Hey I got these little pink shrimp and I was wondering how to breed them👀👀🐠🐠🐋

[stevem]

jave moss for them to hide and eat off of
I used just crushed flakes

[Astchiefy]

Do you still have these shrimp. Mine disappeared... Iron overdose

[john fox]

Yes I still have the shrimps and they seem to be thriving well I have them with the guppys . Iwas reading that if you want to breed them have them alone otherwise the baby's will get eatin also I don't add anything to these tank ie; iron 👻👻😎👍

[Astchiefy]

Just did a big water change. My tank has grown out well but having a tall tank with so many plants makes it hard to find shrimp in there...

[john fox]

That's good this way if they breed nobody will find them 👻👻bring in some cobomba for me I want to try it in my dirt tank 👀👀

[stevem]

they do a good job of hidding
I had a 38 gal I threw a couple in and I never saw more then 2 or 3
when I took the tank down there where about 100.
I kept some in a 5 gal planted tank and they where doing fine multipling and staying in the open
There where no fish in there, I put in a couple of least killies(the smallest livebearer in America iamtold) and they ate everyone in a couple of days
I read after that least killies are very aggressive, why you should research first

[Astchiefy]

I have a 5 gallon planted with 2 bettas in it now but I may try to pair the male up in my larger tank with a crowntail. How long have you had the shrimp live?

[stevem]

I have had the shrimp for several years, before my least killies ate them

You should have asked me about those Least killies. mean little suckers. But not as bad as Gambusia.
