Invertebrates

[mrcrabbs]

Besides shrimp, frogs, snails, and crabs. What other Invertebrates are there? I am interesting in getting some more. Are there any for fresh water?

Frogs aren't invertabrates. Um...worms, parasites?
CRAYFISH A.K.A FRESHWATER LOBSTERS
EDIT: Crayfish eat fish so not good for community

mussels/clams

Sorry. Well, anything that will go in a 29 gallon freshwater tank. I dont watn the traditional fish. I like my shrimp I got today and might get some more. I heard that after they shed they die. How can you prevent this from happening?

 

[Dwarfs]

They don't die after they shed, they lose the old outer shell and it looks like a dead shrimp and since they hide constantly you don't find the real one

The actuall shrimp dies is what she said. She works at petco and chances are she would know what she is talking about.

no they do not die after the shed, but they r very vunerable cuz they have no shell yet and r soft . all shed every year. i used to own crayfish and i still have some in my pond and they shed. it justs means they r getting bigger because the exoskeleton cannot grow along with them so the must get a new one.

like nix sayed mussles and clams which r good for the tank because they r filter feeders. u must be careful with what u put them with to because the do not move much at all and fish with beak like mouths will eat then right up. also they canot stand any copper levels
