Red Nose Shrimp?

[Ingen]

Hi Ingen, mine have been in my tank for around 2 months. They are all alive & active. As far as I know, they would not breed in freshwater set up but has no problem living in one, just like yamatos. Just remember to drip acclimatise & take your time adding them to your established tank. Good luck.

That's good news! I did a three hour acclimatization at 1-2 drip per second. Hopefully that's good enough for them. They are very active eating and daring I would say, out in the open since I introduce them into the tank. Unfortunately, I don't see them loving the BBA lol

Red nose shrimps, some LFS labelled them as rocket shrimps, they are fresh water shrimps but their breeding cycle are like Yamato which requires brackish water. Their eggs are so much smaller but in huge quantity, when hatch, they are in a form of larve stage which need brackish water to survive until they reach shrimplet stage which then can slowly transfer them to freshwater.

Used to have them in my tank but non of them survive as they are easily spooked and when that happens, they jump out the tank.

Wonder those small fire red cherry shrimps does an equally good job of clearing algae?

Yes, mine have been around for at least 4 months. Got them from Aquarist Chambers after hearing positive reviews on them being able to clear hair algae and BBA.

Think they are true swimmers, and it's a joy watching them 'hover' amidst the thickets of plants.

Thanks bro. I bought some last week but after introducing one into my tank, my tetras were all chasing after it. I therefore decided to keep the rest separately in a small tank.

My Red Nose Shrimps disappeared... i guess they didn't survive. They didn't quite help me with my hair algae problem especially on a driftwood which is heavily infested with hair algae. What I did was turn off my filter, pour some Seachem excel on to the cap, syringe the solution and then pump in over the hair algae patch. I left it for 15 mins and then turn on my filter. On the next day, the hair algae turned white, my fire red shrimps grazed on some. The next 2 days, all hair algae completely disappeared and the driftwood looks new. Just syringed some more excel on some moss with hair algae, hopefully this will work again.

Your moss will melt too, no ?
