My new cardinal shrimp from the ghac auction!

[fishman1]

so I have moved them already and they are all doing well. 8 have survived but lost one of the berried females....

[fishman1]

I added transfered the rest of the surviving shrimp to a small container and added some of my african cichlid water, and set up the new tank but waiting to see if they will survive so I put an african cichlid to see if I could add the shrimp in the new tank tomorrow.

What ph they need tim?

I have an impulse to set up a shrimp tank!

[armthehomeless]

IMO its a waste of money - shrimp don't eat alot. These guys are pretty shy and have a tendency to hide . . . at least initially.

[fishman1]

I tried feeding them algae flake and spirulina flake but they didn't eat it, I guess there just not hungry? If you saw the first pic you can see how bad my camera is....
Have you tried feeding shrimp cuisine?

[armthehomeless]

I fed them a little bit of everything. Regular flake, spiulina wafers, shrimp pellets, and even NLS 1 mm cichlid pellet. They don't eat alot. I'm glad to see them doing well! Let me know if you have any further questions.

:)

Try to take some more pictures.
