aquariumlover10 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 so, some know I have alot of wild ghost shrimp and they have a redish hue to them, so i am going to selectively breed them, and i had a berried store bought and its eggs hatched this morning or last night, u have seen 1 larvae but 2 other ghosts got into the breeder box, so they are probably hiding in the plants in there, so this thread will just be a document of everything, also I am going to be sending soothing shrimp a few wilds in a few months when it gets warmer, thanks for looking, I will post pics later. woopderson and EbiBunBun 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 You only get to name the color you created. My suggestion is to pick a totally new name so it doesn't get confused with something already out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EbiBunBun Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 So what do they eat now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 Micro stuff, I am mainly using live plants for now and snowflake food, but this batch is from a store bought shrimp, so I don't care if they survive or not.

Soothing Shrimp Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Do clams/mussels eat shrimp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 No,the one in there is only a shell,, actually it died in my tank and my loavhes and shrimp ate it within 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Aren't they filter feeders? I guess it depends on the size of the larval shrimp. Most animals, if it fits, it gets eaten. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquariumlover10 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah, but they work like clams, theysuck water in one hole and filter it, and blow it out another, but I have another live one I my tank near my filter intake.
