Anyone knw if this shrimp can tolerate was level of ph?
Eh btw post individual shots of both hor. In case yours can tell gender ^^
Hmm I was going to transfer my shrimps to the new container.. But after putting in sand, shells, marimo ball.. Water turned bit cloudy.. Thought it might be dirty due to the marimo ball..
Waited till this morning and Still the same.. Can I just transfer the shrimps or must wait till water to be clear? And how do I do it?
Anyone here pls advise..
Cloudy is usually from the sand, if not a bacterial bloom. Can you take a picture of the container? Dirt on a Marimo ball usually settles after awhile, especially if you rinsed the ball beforehand. If it is dirt from the sand, you can use a small powerhead packed with filter wool or run the water through several fine filter wool pads. Helps to reduce the cloudiness.

Personally, I believe it to be a case of bacterial bloom, as I mentioned to you earlier. Changing to water that has been prepared the same way and not been aged sufficiently will simply mean you will either encounter the same bacterial bloom or have clean looking water that isn't actually clean.
Yes draka.. And I am trying to put it under lightings as today is a rainy day.. Will leave it there and if by Sunday still the same, will go back to shop to get a bigger prepared bottle to replace the current small one..
No choice... I do not wish my shrimps to suffer in that small bottle and I'm unable to feed them..
I bought a few of these shrimps from CRS haven. Did a google search and found a supplier who can ship to SGP. Price is pretty cheap but once you import them in, the price goes up tremendously due to shipping and DOAs.
However, he recommended a buyer in Singapore who imports for personal keep and was in contact with him. His prices are $7/pc and for orders above 10 it is $6/pc.
You can email him at [email protected] or 96489079.
Wow.. Nice source here.. Will surely take note..
Borinz, doesn't the bottle come with a removable cap?

Then you can feed them via the cap and change water with a small air tube as a mini siphon. This will be sufficient for the time being as your actual Opae Ula tank is being cycled. They are found in rocky pools, so a rock scape with extensive use of lava rock will be nice for these little shrimps. This pic in the link below shows an Opae Ula foraging among lava rocks:

Thank you very much Sateman... Recently got cheated by my previous seller. Just emailed him yesterday, hope it was a misunderstanding though.
But I want to change a bigger bottle as I have 4 shrimps now because my friend passed me his bottle as well..
