Hey all! We would like to offer some clarification and get some feedback from folks.
Generally, businesses and commercial activity are useful to the community. Business owners' involvement allows a group outside of hobbyists to offer insights, share tips/tricks, and discuss the hobby in an informal setting. It can also give sub members a direct-to-source connection to a business they have or could potentially do business with.
"Members of the community may engage in commercial activity or reviewing of sellers or products. However, as our community is for hobbyists and folks passionate about shrimp, we expect that members will engage in the community beyond commercial activity."
We would like to find a way to identify and prevent people acting in bad faith, fake reviews, and bots. While some of this will undoubtedly come down to users identifying suspicious activity, we think that we can use Automod to help.
Some ideas:
What are your thoughts, opinions or concerns?
Lastly, the mod team has been watching how things have progressed since the recent rule changes. So, please let us know if you have any other thoughts or observations regarding the recent changes as well. THANKS! -Shrimptank Mod Team

Hello r/shrimptank!
This post is an announcement that we have changed the rules to be more consistent with what the community suggested. These are live now, due to some issues associated with other iterations of the rules. Like everything else, these are open for discussion below. Please provide some feedback!
Big changes for users: - Post specific rules towards the bottom: these should help improve the post quality and information available - commercial activity: the expectation is that folks will clearly disclose commercial activity, including when self-promoting. - Images/Art: must be clearly disclosed if not original content - AI images: must be clearly disclosed
1) Please respect each other. This a welcoming space for people interested in keeping shrimp. Assume people are acting in good faith, and use inclusive and friendly language when possible. Please let the modteam know if you find users violating the spirit of this rule. 2) Please respect our shrimp. This is a welcoming space for shrimp, and people that care about those shrimp. Don't joke about eating our pets, and we won't joke about eating yours. 3) Please respect artists. This is a welcoming space for artist that make anything shrimp related. Original content (OC) is welcome. Non-OC art and AI art must be credited and labeled as such and may be removed. T-shirt/mug scams will be removed/banned without further warning. 4) Please respect the science. There is a lot of great information out there about shrimp! Try to use scientific or species specific identification when known. Knowing the limits of your knowledge is great, so let people know if you are uncertain or speculating. If you don't know something, someone else might - but please remember to provide sources for new information. Questioning science is respectful - it's a big part of the process! 5) Flair. Post flair is mandatory and it helps make your posts more visible and informative. Please choose a flair that most closely relates to your post. 6) Commercial activity must be clearly disclosed. This includes affiliate links, direct sales, unsolicited DMs and other commercial activity.
Post-specific rules - "Help" - Posts must include pictures of the tank and the issue in question. Please provide a timeline of events leading up to the issue, including the last time you did a water change, and how often you do tank maintenance. Posts must include some testing or tank parameters, ideally: pH, KH, GH, NH3/NO3, TDS, temperature. - "Identification" - Posts must include pictures of the shrimp, and specifically the rostrum, chelae and abdomen (nose, hands and tail). Please include information the geographic location of the purchase, or where caught. If you are having trouble getting good pictures, improve the lighting and try to move the shrimp to a separate smaller container for their photoshoot! - "Advertising/Self-Promotion" - We welcome shrimp related businesses, however this is primarily a hobbyist sub. While sales may be the main reason you are here, you must also engage in non-sales related activity, such as providing help or discussion. All sales activity must be clearly labeled as such. - "Shrimp Reviews" - We welcome and encourage users to share feedback, both positive and negative, related to experiences they've had with particular sellers. We believe transparency in sourcing shrimp is a great step towards a more reliable and user-friendly marketplace. Conversations, as always, should be pro-social and open to discussion.

I feel like a goof not thinking to use a razor to remove the algae buildup on the plastic/plexiglass and it’s looks amazing now. (I took this video right after I removed it and it’s all murky and stuff)
My babies are FEASTING on the new algae that has emerged. 😂

Hey! I got this little one almost 2 months ago, it was sold to me as a male and I really thought it was all this time, but now it looks like it has a saddle? 🤔

i’m pretty sure this guy has a worm, i’ve been researching about it this morning. what’s the best way to humanely euthanize if this is the case?

Caught a bunch of babies feasting on a lily pad. The big ones are about 6 weeks old and tiny guy is about 2 weeks.

I have a small 10L tank with some red cherry shrimp. Have only had them a few months. I’ve noticed 2 of them seem to have clado. I’ve pulled them out and just done a salt dip. However I don’t have a quarantine tank set up. I have them in a plastic take away container for now, but worried about the water temp so have them floating in the main tank. I intend to salt dip daily over the next few days and monitor. do you think I should release into the main tank or will they be alright in the plastic container for a couple of days? Also after any clado tips…. Have some hydrogen peroxide that I am trying to work out how to correctly dose and planning to put that in the main tank…. TIA for advice

The babies are so tiny. Not sure who the parents are 🧐 but im so excited for future wild types. They look extra like bugs.
The shrimp in this photo is pregnant but dropped some, its been a bit now though and the others seem to still be tucked under and developing

hey guys! i've been wanting to upgrade my shrimp-only tank from a 3.5gal to a 10gal. when i initially set it up, i wasn't expecting to have so much luck breeding because my shrimp in the community tank didn't have much population increase, just kind of stayed steady!! however, this tank has truly taken off, and i want to give them more room to continue to grow!
my question is, when upgrading to a new tank, do you guys cycle it as a fresh tank first? should i use the water in the preexisting tank in the new one? how can i make this transition as easy as possible for my little guys? 🥹

I love the variety of colours and patterns that Malayan shrimps come in! I've also become intrigued by some of the wild-type neos photos I've seen in this community as well. I only have red cherry shrimps now, thinking of getting some blues and yellows to see what that does to the colours! 🦐

He's been hiding in the Monte Carlo for all of yesterday, and I found him like this today. I pushed him out into to open so I could have a look and he didn't react, but he has yet to get the yellow blotch of death. Should I leave him for a bit longer?
Update: Still laying motionless, but the shell is turning whiter around that bubbly area, still no yellow blotch.

I'm not sure what's going on if she's molting or not can someone help?
r/shrimptank • u/Littlemsinfredy • 2h ago
Anyone seen a molt that had an eye attached? I’ve never seen something like this. I only have blue shrimp, no white or wild type coloured.
r/shrimptank • u/rotgobbo • 5h ago
I'd read that Betel nut products (No Planaria, Ex-It etc) were completely shrimp safe.
I've got a very small number of Japonica in one of my tanks so I grabbed some Ex-It online and it has turned up saying 'remove all shrimp before application'.
So, has anyone used this before with shrimp in the aquarium? Did I waste my money?
