Shrimp their eyesight is very good. When i approach the side of the glass tank i regularly see them stopping with grazing to look back at me or they jump a step back

I dont mind if my animals hide personally, I actually really love shy species l rarely see because it feels special when I do.

I added 6 blue dream shrimps to my 5 gallon about a week ago to my tank, very well planted housed to my calm betta he was unfazed by them they disappeared the next day and I only saw 1 come out now I can’t find them at all

I've got a guppy/tetra tank with a couple of pleco's and a dozen shrimp in it and I see one or two shrimp every 3 weeks at the most. The daft thing is there's dozens of guppy fry in the tank at any one time, so nothing at all is eating them. There is tons of hiding places, bushes with tiny gaps, grasses and plants. I know they're there, but I never see them.

I have 10 cherry shrimp and they were always out, but I added 12 dwarf rasbora and now the only shrimp I ever see is the largest berried female. There are lots of plants and wood and leaf litter so I'm hoping they'll realize the rasbora won't hurt them and get comfortable again...because they're bigger than the fish LOL

Another fantastic video with great content. Thank you Richard, from 🇨🇦

I was kind of having this problem too before 5-4 days but now all of the sudden all my cherry shrimps are out all day long, and molting in the open with no fear😆 although I have two Rams and a betta in the same tank. Rams did chased them for few days but stoped eventually. I think the reason they are out is, their hiding place was getting crowdy with kuhli loaches and hillstream loach. Anyways I am happy that they feel safe to come out and graze all over the tank.

Great video. Thanks Richard ❤️🐠🦐🐌🌱

finally after 1 month of cherry shrimp got like 30 shrimpers & more ! thank you for your video's thank you & md 🥰

Fantastic video!

Hi I don't think any if these apply to me I have around 12 in a community tank with zebra danios and gold white cloud mountain minnows but most of the time only see 3 or 4 I can see molts in the tank but even when I check every spot there not there could there be any other possible reasons

I've found cold water to really slow em down and keep them hiding.

I have 6 blue shrimp in a 20 gallon and I hardly see them active in there. I let the tank mature for a couple months prior to adding them so there's plants and microorganisms in there thriving. It just seems like the shrimp aren't 😂 idk I'll give it more time it had only been a week.

My skittles neocaridina shrimp tank has a lot of plants, is it too much. I can't seem to c them anywhere, there are no fish just shrimps 🤔

I bought 10 Mary off eBay, I never specified I wanted a mature or shrimplets, the seller decided to send me 10 shrimplets. Nevertheless, they were all eaten by the tetras.

I have some Tetra fishes some of them(well the most) tried to attack the shrimps are the tetras gonna stop attacking after some days?

I have a 10 gal tank with about 10 cherry shrimp, 3 small guppies & 1 Kuhli loach (maybe 2 😇 tops) Ive spotted 2 or 3 heavelly pregnant cherry shrimp females last week but no signs of babies yet! I have few smaller/juveniles shrimp that live just fine & the tank is no joke 3/4 java moss at the moment. Is it possible 1 Kuhli loach (2 max) would be able to eat every egg or hatchling? Even if only 2 of 10 eggs survive adulthood, that would still seem very reasonable right? Im having trouble believing 1 Kuhli loach would go through all the eggs everytime & hopefully the babies r just hiding. The only darn reason the loach is even in there cuz its too thick to catch him. Any ideas? Thank yoy

Also I heard that cherry shrimp can do an early molt if they get stressed so how do I stop cherry shrimp from dong an early molt during taking it home during buying them from the store

Im on my week 3 of my tank cycle..currently i had a few freeloader bladder snail and recently 2 Malaya shrimp so that they can eat or reduce diatoms in the tank..these 2 shrimp like to hide and everytime, after work i frantically look for them lol..they do eat the diatoms but wont touch it if it too thick and long as it can tangled their limbs. Yesterday i manually remove some of the diatoms and few hours later they go and ate it. Btw i had a questiin, is it normal for shrimp generally, not to touch any of their food when introduced to a new tank?? Both my malaya shrimp didnt touch it except for algae and diatoms

Hello. I’ve got a tds meter. Is it possible for me to calculate the gh level in water tank or i need to use gh tester?
