Re: RCS with a worm or something

Sorry, i'm not able to post photos. She seems to be acting fine, and now the "worm" is gone. I don't know what to make of this.

RCS with a worm or something

I just noticed that my bigest reddest RCS has a tiny little white thing sticking out of her back. :cry: I thought something might be wrong with her because she developed an opaque pink stripe down her back a while ago (she use to be translucent), I thought it was something that just happened with ag...

Re: Can cherry shrimp naturally mutate into crystal red shrimp?

Those look like breaks in the shell to me, I had one die from that. Check this out viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2605&hilit=died+shell
Those aren't my pictures but that is exactly what happened to one of mine.

Re: Red Cherries won't breed, help.

I have baby shrimp! :smt026 They were released on the 16th (a lot earlier than I expected), i'm just getting around to posting (had the modem on the ps3 for a while). Both berried females released and there is another one berried now too. There are babies everywhere, they are about 1-2mm long now. I...

Re: Red Cherries won't breed, help.

Make that 2 berried females, so I guess I'll have babies in 3-4 weeks?

Re: Shrimp tank +planaria -- veggies ok?

I've been trying to think of a way to rid my tank of "buggers" for a while now. I have an idea but it is probably completely nuts. Oh well, here it is. First, take everything out of your tank that you don't want to die. Then, find a way to run an electric current through the water in your ...

Re: Curling of the body - what's this behaviour about?

I think they are also doing this to clean themselves. Watch their back legs, they reach around and wipe all over. It reminds me of a fly.

Grammar 101

Please correct me if I'm wrong. "Shrimps" is not a word, you say "Shrimp" if you are talking about 1 or 100. Its just like you wouldn't say "Hey, look at those deers."

Re: Can shrimp fracture their exoskeleton?

I've been doing some searching trying to find a picture that looks like them. I think they are ostracods. I'm going to go to my parents house to get my microscope. Go to http://www.dogpile.com and do a search for images of ostracod2, it will be the second image. Sorry I couldn't get the picture to s...

Re: Can shrimp fracture their exoskeleton?

They seem to be fine. They come out and swim around alot more now. I just wish I knew what all of these bugs are. Probably need a new thread for that though.
