Have spoken with a CRS, Tiger - Tibee breeder and he confirmed it was a bacteria, I have to isolate the shrimp in case it infects other shrimp. I will be putting this one in my betta 10g tank, with a breeder net, to make sure he doesn't eat it. Hopefully it doesnt die.

Agreed with Ch4rlie.. Once these fish grow bigger, your shrimp will be toast.

I agree with this! Your fish will also be really stressed while you are establishing your cycle, and you as well!

I've been so lazy with removing them that I let them on until they detach by themselves.

Congrats! You made me discover this fish and I am very much in love with them now.

  WOW! This is why my java fern are so dead now!

well.. Now I'm really jealous of USA people

No problem! You are trying to help! :) A few of my tigers have a blue hue to them, some darker, some clearer.. Only time will tell, or maybe someone who keeps them, as you said :P

I'm not quite sure as well, I'm still new to tiger shrimp! :( I know they get their stripes and colors once a bit older, but nothing said anything about it being a bit red.. Someone on a local group suggested bacterial infection? 

Thanks Charlie.. The issue is.. They are not Red Tiger shrimp! I bought regular tiger shrimp!! :O

Thanks ! Here's a "baby" that I have spotted. Is that coloration normal for tiger?

Hi and welcome! Please do us all a favor and post pictures!  We are all waiting to answer your question.

Hi and welcome! I also would like to see pictures!

My fish seem to actually enjoy the water changes I do every week. They tend to have really really bright colors after the change. My betta is really curious and will investigate the area while I'm doing the change :P

Sometimes, people realize they like things when they don't have it anymore.

Hi there. If you have never kept shrimp, I suggest you start with Cherry Reds. They are much hardier, and easier to care for. If you want to house them, your environment needs to be in good condition, and above all, stable. The cherry shrimp can be in a lot of temperatures, and ph as well, so as...

Superb Shrimp and pictures. Good luck on your quest, I heard it is quite a challenge.

Good luck to all!  :)

Changing things up a bit, different angle!     Entered this in the TOTM :) Going to post a video soon

Here is a picture of one of the shrimp!

Hi all! As some of you know, I have added tiger shrimp to that tank this Saturday. Everything was going fine but this morning I woke up to a dead body. I am almost sure it is of a tiger shrimp, and I saw a molt near the carcass. I am feeling a bit guilty as I have been decreasing the temperature...

Mine are pretty active. The larger the school the better they do. I have found out that they do much better when there is dither fish around. My tank is stocked heavily, plants and fish. I have celestial pearl danios, rummynose tetras, peacock gudgeons, amano shrimp and a pearl gourami. I think...

Today is the day I finally decided on what I was going to buy with a gift card I have received. I will be getting tiger shrimp. Been eyeing them for a while now and I think they will make a great addition to my cherry shrimp tank! Can't wait! :D

Very well deserved! Solid competition! Congrats to all!

Very nice aquariums indeed, voting for them was a really hard thing to do! 

I am defenitely jealous if you go that route.

Agreed, I usually feed Daphnia whenever I accidentaly feed too much, usually solves issues like this one.

I love these,   I have 12 in my 46G and they are always on the go.   I'd really love to have a 90G long aquarium and have a 20+ School of them in it. Would make a really nice view!

I had this happen to one of my neons when he ate too much. It happened when I fed him flake food instead of pellets.

27 inches is a bit short for rummy nose tetras, they prefer really long tanks as they love to swim around and they really are doing best at 10+ numbers.   I know it is really a classic choice, but a large school of Cardinal Tetras is really a stunning view. Not a Tetra but Harlequin Rasboras are...

I have a pearl gourami and it is such a gracious fish! Defenitely recommended, it also much hardier than dwarf gouramis.

woah. That tank is one weird stocking. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that all of these are living together. You are risking a lot right now.

I'll try modifying a bit my schedule and see what's up! Thanks for heads up

Glad you got rid of this!   I have nightmares where mine suddenly comes back and eats all my cherry shrimp (kidding)

What I do is put my lights on for 2 hours in the morning, and then 6 hours for the evening. :)

Hi and welcome! If you don't have fish already, make sure you cycle your tank! You can refer to that guide: http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/421488-cycling-your-new-fresh-water-tank-read-this-first/   I also started into this hobby with a 20g.. MUCH FUN!! I now have 3 tanks haha.

Wait.. Do you mean I should dose excel when my lights are off? How long before they turn on should I dose? My Anubias problem could be because I have too much light? That makes a lot of sense because those are all things I am doing right now.

Woah! That would freak me out as well..

Thanks Daize! I will try dosing more excel to see if that helps. In any case, I might try a small DIY co2 kit, with fermentation thing..

I've read that when you have too much Iron you can get green hair algae..   I meant that it was foolish to have a high light tank and dose a lot of nutrients without having CO2.   The reason why I'm dosing more nutrients is because my Anubias have started to show signs that they are missing...
