#the amano shrimp cleaning crew

[sardinemasc]

any recommendations for a clean up crew for my aquarium once it's cycled? its a 10 gallon planted tank that will have 8-10 chili rasboras and partially blackwater/lower pH. i'm not sure exactly what the pH will be (botanicals have not arrived yet), probably around 6 if i had to guess?

i want to do blue velvet shrimp but i'm not sure how they'll do in the lower pH. i've heard that amanos could be better for lower pH, or just doing snails and providing them calcium in their food. i'm a total beginner so i'd love any advice/recommendations!! thx! 🐟🐟

tanks update!!! added some plants yesterday, plinko got a pennywort, split some brazilian water weed in both, and my favorite is the fluffy plant i can't remember the name of i added for texture and continuity between tanks

both tanks needed a lot of help after we got back from vacation so now we're fighting algae in both. plinko is doing amazing, he's such a chill confident guy, always checking out new stuff and movement without flaring, so i might see how he does with some ghost shrimp for a cleaning crew (I'd prefer fancy shrimp for that pop of color but ghost are cheap sooo)

one amano shrimp is WAY bigger than the other, makes me wonder if it's female

lil red had a split in his tail from several weeks ago, and i think it's still healing ok...? it's not as good as i want it but i think that's because of the overall hit the tanks took w/o us there for upkeep. he loves the new plant by his cave lol very much HIS territory

#fish tag #betta #scarlet badis #m2a #my pets #i worry so much about these little dudes #i unexpectedly lost a cory the other day which was one of the fish in the 10 from the beginning #the kh is slightly out of whack that's the only thing i can think of. adding alkaline buffer and stress guard for now #man...i do love this hobby 💛 #the payoff of sitting next to beautiful plants and fish is so worth the work #fish

Plants are doing well! Once the second lamp arrives I can add some floating plants!

Does Gabagool eat-clean the tank too like the other fish in the reblog?

Gabagool is a pleco catfish, yes he does clean the tank! I have a whole “bottom feeder” crew in my tank, lots of different species because bottom feeders are my favorites! Certain types of snails, catfish, and shrimp eat film algea off the tank and other algea off the plants. They also eat food waste. Gabagool mostly eats driftwood and veggies (he’s a vegetarian boi) and is definitely not as adepth at cleaning as my nerite snails and amano shrimps. Mostly because he flops.

The eel in my post is also a bottom feeder but literally is useless in terms of cleaning and just spazzes out. And the neon tetra don’t clean, they just chill.

Gabagool has a bigger ecosystem footprint than some other my other catfish (because his poop is too big), so you can only really have one pleco per tank. Common pleco can grow HUGE (3 feet!!) but thankfully Gabagool will stay around his current size. If you buy a pleco from Petsmart make sure it’s not a common pleco!! Cute but too big!

Gabagool has up until last week been timid and 100% nocturnal. Very scared of everything and would hide immediately if he was out from under his rock and I turned on the light. Recently he has been very floppy and active. My child is growing up!! Proud Mama.

Opae Ula Care

Introducing the tiny tank known as the Opae Ula or in scientific terms Halocaridina rubra. These shrimp are native to Hawaii typically found in anchialine pools, due to where they live they have evolved to survive harsh environments such as temperatures drops (30° f), low oxygen levels, no food for up to years, and extreme changes in salinity.

Sadly their hardy nature has allowed them to fall victim to Ecospheres or micro ecosystems which are enclosed (sometimes open) small spheres of stagnant water where these shrimp can be forced to endure many of the harsh environments addressed above for months to years.

Let's do these tiny shrimp some justice and give them a environment they can thrive in and not just survive in.

Scientific name: Halocaridina rubra

Common names: Red Hawaiian shrimp, opae ula, supershrimp, red shrimp, and volcano shrimp. 

Care level: Beginner, due to their hardy nature these guys make a good introduction to shrimps and brackish tanks.

Water: These guys can live in freshwater, brackish, and even saltwater. However they truly thrive in brackish waters of 1.008-1.016 specific gravity or 11-21ppt.

Temperature: 75-85°F / 23-29°C.

Tank size: 5 gallons is the minimum for a group of these guys, but 10 gallons is heavily recommended as to make maintaining salinity and temperatures easier. When kept properly in these guys will easily breed so that’s something you’ll defiantly want to consider when choosing a tank size. 

Size: 0.5" is the average size. Much smaller then most freshwater shrimp you'll see for sure!

Feeding: These guys are scavengers much like other species of shrimps and will eat a variety of foods such as pellets, algae wafers, veggies/leafy greens, etc. Currently I feed mine high quality pellets, algae wafers, spirulina and the occasional blanched zucchini and leafy greens.  

Here are some articles that can give you a idea of what to feed, they are not made for opae ula most shrimp have the same tastes;

Planted Tank

Natural Pet care

Aquarium tidings

Filtration: Most care sheets are going to tell you to skip right past filtration and use the excuse “They prefer slow moving waters” or “It stresses them out” which is completely false. Well these guys can survive without a filter, they surely aren’t going to thrive in a tank without one. Like any tank they need a cycle of beneficial bacteria to help cycle out the bad stuff, but since they prefer slow moving waters you aren’t going to need anything very strong.

 Personally I use a sponge filter in my tank, but I also have a weak power head to assist in preventing any dead spots in the tank and my shrimp don’t mind it. 

When choosing a filter you’ll want to make sure your shrimp and baby shrimp aren’t going to get sucked into the intake so any filter then a sponge might need some modification. 

*Cycling a brackish tank is very similar to cycling a freshwater tank, if your unfamiliar with cycling check this article out. Fishless cycle is preferred, but if your freeing yours from a ecosphere its better to do fish-in then leave then in the sphere.

Tank Mates: Since these shrimp are so tiny you aren’t going to be able to keep them with any fish since they’ll just become a snack to them. There are a few invert tank mates you can keep with your shrimp depending on the salinity you choose to keep yours in. Please research the specific invert and species you want before adding them to your tank, this is only a suggestion or to give you a idea of what you can stock!

Nerite Snails, these snails come in a variety of colors and sizes depending on the species you choose. Many thrive in brackish waters and can also live in freshwater, but keep in mind they also will breed in brackish water. 10g minimum.

Blue-legged Hermit crabs, tiny adorable hermit crabs commonly kept in saltwater tanks as a clean up crew can safely be kept with shrimp. They are mostly found in saltwater, but can also be found in high end brackish waters. 10g minimum.

Other snails, theres many other snails besides just the nerites that can be kept in brackish tanks like Malaysian trumpet snails(1.010), assassin snails(1.003), rabbit snails(1.003).

Other shrimp, if kept in freshwater or low brackish you can keep other species of shrimp like cherry shrimp(1.003) and  amano shrimp(1.005). 

Decor: These shrimp prefer lots of hiding spots and will be stressed if left out in the open. Using plants (in fresh or low brackish) is a attractive and easy way to provide your shrimp with cover. Here’s a good post on brackish tolerant plants!

Live rock is commonly used in saltwater tanks, but it can also be used in brackish tanks in a similar way. It provides lots of cover for your shrimp since it has lots of holes and crevasses for them to hide in. If you want to add a little green to your tank you can also use macro algae though! List of brackish tolerant macro algae here.

Water Changes: Many care sheets will tell you not to do water changes since it stresses them out, it is true it’ll stress them out, but it does not mean you should keep your shrimp in dirty water. A quick water change certainly isn’t going to kill them and a moment of stress for clean water is going to outweigh the downsides.  Weekly or bi-weekly 25% water changes should be done on the tank. Personally I do mine bi-weekly since my tank is established and under stocked, I keep a eye on my water quality and do them before if needed.

Conclusion:

I hope this care sheet helped you guys out, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to shoot me a ask!

Also got a ecosphere and want to free your shrimp and give them a better life, but not sure how to crack that thing open safely? Check out this video! If you can’t watch the video I’ll give my best description:

On the bottom of the sphere there is a area where the sphere is sealed with a ring of silicone, carefully work around the silicone, and once you’ve worked that off pour the shrimp into a container.

*Also you are going to want to drip acclimate your shrimp to minimize stress and deaths.

This pretty boy, I think he needs more stimulation. Also, I’d appreciate a little clean-up crew, because Johnny often leaves a mess after eating (TINYYY pieces) and the snails, besides pooping everywhere, only care for algae (which is great, but not quite enough, unfortunately). Also we’re developing a pond snail problem. I went through my options, thought about and did research on kuhli loaches, then forgot about it - the space is just not generous enough. Then I stumbled upon amano shrimp. Johnny is not very aggressive, flares hardly or not at all at his mirror self, only eats tiny pieces of food… And he mostly only uses half of his tank. This would make the situation ideal for Amanos and I would like to check them out tomorrow at the LFS. Has anybody had bad experience with amanos in betta tanks? I tried to research that too, but people say they only “attack” fish which are already dying - or that the Betta was the problem. My fiance LOVES shrimp so he’s pretty excited about the idea. I just want to make sure there are no unnecessary risks for John, who’s thriving by now. 😄

Which shrimp species are best for beginners? | 4 best starter shrimp

If you're just getting into shrimp keeping it's rather a little difficult to determine which type to start with. There are therefore many species! So many colors, sizes and various requirements to choose from. Some are difficult to care for and some are a breeze. Luckily, The Shrimp Farm can help. Keep reading to discover the 4 best starter shrimp! Red Cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. Red) Crimson Cherry shrimp are most likely the most popular dwarf shrimp among both newbies and more capable shrimp keepers. And for good reason! This crimson Neocaridina variety isn't too fussy about drinking water values, very easy to breed and quite decorative.

Colors may differ from a good light pink to deep blood red and with wise selective breeding you may easily improve the intensity. Keep your Crimson Cherry shrimp in a fully cycled aquarium of at least around five gallons (19L). If you're interested in breeding your Cherries a single species set up with only shrimp is recommended. However, these shrimp also do well in tranquil community setups, as they breed rapidly and the occasional casualty won't damage the populace at all. Provide your Crimson Cherries with a lot of hiding places, especially in community tanks, and feed a high quality shrimp food. You can find a full Red Cherry shrimp caresheet at The Shrimp Farm here. Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata) Amano shrimp are named after the late famous aquascaper Takashi Amano, who introduce them into the aquarium hobby on a huge scale first. Though colorless and not too exciting to check out, these shrimp are among the most preferred because they're pretty hardy, have a huge appetite for algae and help to make an excellent cleaning crew. They are a little bigger than dwarf shrimp but nonetheless entirely peaceful and an excellent addition to any calm community tank. The just downside is they are almost impossible to breed in the home aquarium: they hatch as larvae which go through a brackish stage where they need a very specific amount of salt. After that, they have to be returned to fresh water at exactly the right time. Keep your Amano shrimp in a heated and cycled aquarium of at least around ten gallons (38L). As with all shrimp, provide plenty of hiding places in the sort of plants, rocks and driftwood. If there is plenty of algae for the shrimp to eat you don't have to supplement their diet plan all that very much but be certain to always have some shrimp food on hand in case the algae run out. You can locate a full Amano shrimp caresheet at The Shrimp Farm here. Caridina Japonica Shrimp with eggs Caridina Japonica Shrimp with eggs by carolineccb Blue Aspiration shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. Blue) Blue Dream shrimp certainly are a blue Neocaridina davidi variety: basically a blue version of Crimson Cherries. Their care requirements are the same, they don't really need very certain water values and their striking color makes them a great eyecatcher in virtually any shrimp tank. Like all shrimp they also make a good cleaning crew that keeps the aquarium tidy by eating leftover foods and algae. They can be combined with small, relaxing fish species (provided there are a sufficient amount of hiding places) but show themselves more and breed of dog more readily within an invert-only setup with snails and other shrimp. There are lots more Neocaridina davidi varieties out there, all of them simple to care for and a great breeding project for beginners. Go for Blue Velvets if you are looking for a lighter blue color or possibly a bright Yellow! Just don't combine these shrimp in one aquarium; they do interbreed and any offspring will include a brownish wild color.

blue dream shrimp Ghost shrimp (Palaemonetes sp.) Ghost shrimp tend to be sold as cheap food for larger fish species but may also make an interesting everlasting addition to the aquarium. They are on this list because they are incredibly hardy and can tolerate bad water values much better than most other shrimp. A great option if you're just getting started! 'Ghost shrimp' is a collective name for various shrimp species in the Palaemonetes genus, as a result be sure to buy from a reputable seller to avoid finding yourself with a huge aggressive river prawn or perhaps brackish variety. The Shrimp Farm sells Palaemonetes paludosus, which doesn't grow too big and really should work fine in most cases. Hold your ghost shrimp in a cycled aquarium of at least around 10 gallons. A calm community should work just fine (though keep in mind ghost shrimp could be slightly more aggressive than dwarf shrimp). Ghost shrimp larvae are tiny and incredibly vulnerable, so if you're interested in breeding and do not want the youthful to finish up being eaten a good single-species setup may be the best idea.
