Brime Shrimp

[DiscusKeeper403]

Hello,

I have been wondering if i could get some shrimp for my tank. i saw this brime shrimp egg block for hatching eggs and was wondering if i could hatch them into my planted tank with some cory cats and a discus. if not is there any other shrimp that aren't to expensive and are also more popular?

thanks!

brine shrimp = tasty snack.

They make frozen brine shrimp for food.
Live are even tastier for the fish

and you'll barley see them.

Go with amano, or maybe some larger wood shrimps.

Brine shrimp also need salt water to survive - hence the "brine" part of their name!

oooh ok cool. i tried to buy this cool cray fish at the pet store today but i dont think it was forsale...

 

[wodesorel]

Crayfish will eat your corycats, anyways. I want one, too, but not at the expense of my fish!

yeah, I wanted this really cool variety of blue wood shrimp...

But he'd eat all my tetra apparently.

So I can't have him.

I'm also intrested in shrimp

do you know if there's anything that could go in with some neons, a zebra daino, some kuhli loaches, bristle noes catfish, glass catfish and yoyo loaches?

Amano shrimp would be for you pascados, maybe bamboo shrimp or some kind of filtering kind.

buy a sea monkey refill set, it comes with eggs cleaner, food etc - then you can hatch/grow/breed them
you can easily buy more eggs and water conditioner seperatly on ebay cheaply.

my sea monkeys were very sucessful, they had 100s of babies - saying that they were my pets and not fish food lol.

Pascados-


Amano, bamboo, and ,if you manage to find the really rare and elusive, Vampire shrimp are all good choices for such a community tank

If it were me,i'd put in some mountain rock shrimps

 

[pascados]

ok thanks I'll consider all of these shrimp

Hi Ya,
Also try to avoid red clawed shrimp if possible, I put a post further down in this section of the site about the problems I had.

Cheers

ghost shrimp are cheep and can go in a comunity of small freshwater fish. They're also used as food sometimes. if you grow brine shrimp, just don't let their salt in with the cories. i hear that's bad.

If you want live brine shrimp one of these are pretty decent.
