Fantastic post!! STICKY!!!

As a newbie to the shrimp world this thread is very useful.

Good job mate.

Yes nice one. Well spread out and useful for the beginner. I wouldnt say amanos are that hardy though-sensitive to water conditions i fell is better but i agree totally water quality is paramount. Nice post

 

[TylerFerretLord]

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm going to add a FAQ section over the next few days along with some minor edits to make it easier to understand.

Does anyone have any pictures of shrimp I could use? I's like to add pictures of the species I described.

Good guide

I would add www.shrimpnow.com as a link with loads of great info.

You can use any pic i've posted... there should be Anamo and CRS pics if you check my old threads.

 

[TylerFerretLord]

Thanks! Will do.

Thanks! Will do.

I have some VERY red cherry shrimp photos from my cherry tank...

 

[TylerFerretLord]

Could you give me a link?

Could you give me a link?

Check out the for sale section as i placed one image there yesterday

Worth a pin, IMO. Good, basic information for anyone new to shrimps...

 

[TylerFerretLord]

I updated with pictures.

I've been reading this again and a couple of points I would add are:

• Be careful to rinse/soak new plants when you add them to a shrimp tank as they may contain chemicals designed to kill pest snails which would hurt shrimp as well.
• In the tankmates section I would add that if you want to breed shrimp the only fish 100% shrimplet safe are Ottos and some plecs.
• Oh and snails make good tank mates as well... I have Malaysian Trumpet snails and they eat the left over food but leave the shrimplets alone.
• I've found another thread on the forum with some good shrimp info for the links too: Common Freshwater Shrimp And Their Requirement.

I've put a link to this thread in the "pin me" section so fingers crossed it will get pinned.

Edited, thanks for the help.
