The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Worried about this guy's ghastly color.

Opae Ula also vary in colors. Granted when they're stressed they become less colorful. Depending on the quantity of opae will determine the amount of feeding. I also suggest feeding at the beginning to get the cycle going. Feed 1-2x a week for 8 weeks and see what's going on in the tank.

Hi Vorteil,

Thanks I put one Hikari shrimp cuisine (mainly composed of spirulina) in and scoop it out after one night of being left out as I noticed the shrimps are nocturnal and only come out at night. Or maybe my water Params are bad and they hide during the day.

But I digress, changing to the hikari feed because the spirulina powder is hard to scoop back up if the food goes uneaten (since the shrimps won’t come to the water surface I don’t even know if they’re eating it or it’s just spoiling causing ammonia spikes etc).

Have a good day

they look redder AND I have a molt!!! The guy on left though has white spine which I read online is a sign of stress?

I wouldn't feed the Hikari wafers just based on the ingredients. This would be good for FW shrimp but even for those I still wouldn't feed them it. I would stick to a basic algae diet. Remember your tank has no filtration.

Ok so these are tablets as I see on amazon a product description. So you crush them to feed?

Powder. Don't use tablets. A little of this stuff goes a long way. For example if I were feeding say 50 opae I would add enough powder to equal 1/2 grain of salt.

it also comes in tablet form on amazon (see below) oops guess I’ll have to do a return and buy the powder version. Or I can eat it :D

just worried

I saw a very small white dandruff in the tank that jumped like a flea. WTF (vulgarities sorry)

There is nothing live/rock nor live-sand. Where could it come from?

Please tell me it was my imagination. Covid mental illness perhaps haha

You will get all sorts of creepy crawly’s in shrimp tanks
