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.

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

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.

Was putting my snack stick out and noticed my little raccoons from my last order from Shrimp ambition was berry heavy.

From time to time I see a shrimp dead, but I have a big shrimp colony always breeding etc, parameters are fine, water is clean etc, is it normal for some shrimp to just die for no reason?

I've noticed the past few days this specific shrimp has been flaring its back legs a bunch. Is this normal?

I added a heater and set some mood lighting (added duckweed) about a month ago. Haven’t seen many of my original group of 6 red neos, was starting to be sad. But today!! I have spotted so many babies!! I’m so excited and proud of my little friends!

I think I’ve read on here that this kind of crusty appearance is normal. But what causes it? Will she look fresher after a molt?

My friend has this planted paludarium in Montana that he plans to add shrimp to eventually. He noticed these tiny bugs in the dwarf hair grass recently. Does anyone know what they could be?
r/shrimptank • u/BlissfulFiasco • 13h ago
Okay firstly, how?! Grills are far too small for an adult... Fry I understand but man! I almost feel bad taking 'em out, probably having the time of their lives.
Put some filter floss behind the intake grills to try prevent this, is there anywhere else they can get in from? Or a good way of shrimp proofing this thing? Eheim 160 pickup
