Ignore the clown killi fish, she likes to photobomb.

Yes I know some shrimp keepers cull the duller ones, but I refuse, I love all my skrimps. I don't care if their 'grade' goes down over time, they're my babies.

How can I start my own shrimp system

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

The most important thing about cherry shrimp is that they HATE CHANGE. So once they're happy, don't fuck with the tank. Also, make sure your tank has gone through a nitrogen cycle before adding them. They are very hardy once established but that stability is an important hurdle that can fuck you over.

My first group of shrimp weren't acclimated properly 😭
