Red Cherry shrimp tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I just received some almond leaves. I read alot of good things about them for shrimp tanks. I boiled half of one and put it in the tank. Ill keep you updated.
 
I've got these small worms all over the glass of my shrimp tank. Does anyone know what they are? Are they harmful? Any way to get rid of them?

Palenaria(sp?), its from too much excess food leftover in the tank... Maybe cut back a little on feedings... Maybe down to once or twice a week...

I would say vaccum the substrate as wel normally, but in this case, you risk pulling out any juvie shrimp if they are in the tank...

^ Convict, you should try it, a 5 - 10G tank, sponge filter, some soil + moss and maybe a piece of driftwood and you are good to go for most basic setups...

my girlfriend hates my fish tank obsession but I always catch her checking out the shrimp tank. I'd highly recommend it convict
 
Here's a little update. I just ordered a 16 inch finned light for the tank. Also thinking about building a rack for three 5.5 gallon shrimp tanks.

UPDATE: Built myself a rack and added a second shrimp tank (cycling). Having trouble getting my females to burry up so I'm just trying to be patient. Looking into getting a 180 soon for my clown loaches and looking to add some CA/SA cichlids.

Unusual that your females arent getting pregnant???

Whats the temp of the tank, and what are you feeding them??? Also, you sure you have a mix of males and females in the tank?

Anyway, tanks look good, maybe add some more moss in the tank so they fee more comfortable?
 
Feeding hikari crab cuisine and hikari algae wafers. Temp is regulated by a preset heater so I'm assuming about 76-78. I will check today but I've got 7 shrimp in there, it would be unlucky if they were all females
 
Seems unusual, whats the PH and other levels in the tank like? Doubt there is a problem but just curious...
