Sophia Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 here is The Smaller Shrimp - cousin of Simon it's very tempting to get some more since they have survived so well compared to everything else. Like naughty children they have strewn their bits of pea to various places now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 chucked this little tank together recently. (wood added tonight etc, rock weighing it down for now) should of put an undergravel filter in but oh well. may rip it apart yet as i already have other ideas :roll: anyway currently home to, 3 shrimp 2 small koura (theyre a laugh buldozing piles of gravel lol) which will probably be moved into the 4footer that cycling atm anyone know if the koura are likely to eat the shrimp if i leave them in there, so far so good but?

Zev Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Looks good, ID, could you build something around the pump to hide it - sticks out like (ahem, better not say, probably have to give myself a warning...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 LOL Zev! Very nice shimpery ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks Sam. Yeah the filter doesnt look right, i almost took it out last night but it does make nice little bubbles lol Im thinking in a couple of weeks i may just take the filter out. Koura may not like that to much? but they can go in another tank if need be. Shrimp should be ok with out a filter if i keep ontop of the water changes eh?

Zev Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 You may need to keep it in there, they require high oxygen levels, you could go for an airstone I suppose, but I do not think it is a good as the air getting mashed up and blasted out by the pump. Just chuck some driftwood around it, or a frond from a ponga or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 one of my shrimps was doing a funny thing this evening, it had curled it's tail right up under itself and was scratching at itself with it's back legs. Like a furry mammal scratching a flea :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueether Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 hahahaha that shrimp is a really good actor, has it stopped playing now?No :tears: letting the biological process happen naturally in the tank, the worms have half buried it already. Just hope it doesn't stink the tank up too much :sick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
