i have sunkist shrimps hoping that they will breed... and my black bees just vanished when i transferred them to my Crystal shrimp tank :( also have Rilis and amanos. trying to figure out how to make the damn amano naupliis survive for a week....

sulawesi are so cool but expensive -_-

What type of rili's? I just ordered some but would love to get some diversity into the gene pool. And if I'm not mistaken I believe that amano naupliis need to go through a brackish water stage.

They only need that when they're hatchlings.  By the time they're of a saleable size, they're completely freshwater.

The planted tank has a lot of info on raising zoas in brackish water.

Cherry Shrimp only these days.  I had CRS & Tiger Shrimp when my Son was younger because he loved Shrimp, but they kind of grew on me too over the years.  I'd like to have another little shrimp-only tank again someday.

Very cool! Well just wanted to share that I got some OEBT shrimp in today and they are honestly so cool to watch. I hope that if my CRS are breeding then they will too as they require very similar conditions. Will keep people posted

Nice!  Those guys just freak me out for some reason :)  I hope your breeding is successful!!  Where did you find them?

I hope they breed too! I got them from alphaprobreeders. The guy there is very knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does. He has been working on his oebt line for a very long time and its shown in the quality of the shrimp he sent me.

I only keep cherry and Amano shrimp since I have relatively hard, high ph well water.  I have had success with both.
