The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Nice! How many did you get?

@Algae In Space The temptation is strong, but so far I have left them alone since they have been placed into the tank.

@opae ula related There are 30? I purchased 25, but he threw in a few extras.

They have relaxed more this morning and are mostly actively grazing. They seem to have found some favorite hangouts. No observable deaths in the night. Everyone looks vibrant and healthy.

I don't know what they find so fascinating about the temperature probe, but over 20 of them are hanging out there. If it was longer, I am sure all would try.

Did you used it in a prior tank? Leftover algae

It is the same with my thermometer sometimes. It's a 5 cm stick they love to sit on sometimes

Mine strangely don't even like spirulina that much... I only fed the snails at first when I got them.

It is brand new. Just placed in a few days ago. Most of them are still there and near the surface. This is normal right? They aren't suffocating right? Cause I took their filter away from that corner.

Nothing to worry about

Looks great. Mine always congregate near the suface edge. It's normal.

I guess I never realized how social they are. They have migrated away from the probe and are now grazing below it as a group.
