Hi everyone, I have a 1.5 month old tank with 2 cleaner shrimp, 2 clownfish, and some snails. The first creature I got is a skunk cleaner shrimp named "Skunk". I had read that it's good to keep them in pairs so I got a second cleaner shrimp named "Whiskers". Skunk has been in my tank for about...

Hi all, I come out to my tank this morning and found one of my cleaner shrimp dead, All my water params are normal, there been no changes of any time and everything else seems quiet happy and normal. The only thing with this shrimp was I did think it was about to give birth as it belly had...

Testing with Salifert and API respectively, my magnesium is 1530 and calcium is 360. Is this normal? Should I dose calcium? If so, how much? My tank is 20 gallons. Also got a male and female cleaner shrimp recently. The female died this morning, wondering if the clowns pestered her too much or...

Hi, I am currently thinking about stocking for my 15 gallon marine tank. I would like a Yasha goby and a candy pistol shrimp (pair them up) I would also like a cleaner shrimp. Would these guys be ok with each other? I’ve heard so many good things about cleaner shrimp but just wanted to ask

Below is from a slightly older post but everything still applies plus I added a scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp. I have a 14 gallon cube currently with a pair of young percula clownfish (one is probably 2 inches or so and the other might be 1.5ish), as well as several hermit crabs and snails, with...

Doing some feeding for the tank, thought I'd throw some music in. Enjoy! Music: breathe slow Musician: Rook1e

I noticed some white hair like things coming off of my cleaner shrimp today (see photos & video). You can really see it protruding from his legs and tail. Does anyone know if this is normal? I'm afraid it might be a parasite or some sort of sickness but I cant seem to find much information on it.

About 3 months ago me and my boyfriend bought a nano-saltwater tank (upgrading soon) with two ocellaris clownfish. We also bought a cleaner shrimp all from PetCo (there are no marine stores near us), and the tank was running perfect. All levels were good, our male Svedka was doing the submissive...

Skunk Cleaner Shrimp I've had it for 5 months now and I think it is too big for my tank. I have a 32 gallon tank and wanted it for it's cleaning use. Most of my fish are too scared of it or small for it to be of use. It's absolutely healthy, regularly molting and feeding fine. Asking $25...

Cleaner on gsp

hey everyone i was acclimating my shrimp yesterday and when i went to look at him i noticed a bunch of these guys floating around! i’m not sure if they’re baby shrimp or copepods but they sure look and move like shrimp!

So I was feeding my tank earlier and noticed one of my cleaner shrimp looks like it has eggs attached to it, I was wondering is there a way to tell if they are fertile or if they will survive. Also if they hatch how likely are they to survive. I believe one of them has just molted so it might...

So I just purchased 2 cleaners on Friday, I've had them before and had one for nearly 2 years, love these guys, but these two were doing great until earlier today. At literally the exact same time, they went down to the sand bed away from the rock and just say these moving their arms and...

Can my rock anemone eat my cleaner shrimp? It sure looks he’s sticking out of the anemone right now and I can’t find him elsewhere. I’m hoping this is just a molt, do anemones eat that? Second new reefer question while I’m posting the picture. This is an established tank but was probably...

I apologize for the horrible video and picture quality, but i think my cleaner shrimp spawned tonight!!?? These are pictures of the pregnant mamma moments before. Video is of the spawn, but not sure it’s loaded correctly anyway, my question is - how can i harvest some of these babies so that...

Just curious, my cleaner shrimp molted & I was wondering if I should leave it in there or take it out? Is it nutritious for him?

Anyone have any experience with a pregnant scarlet skunk shrimp? I was feeding my fishes and notice how fat my shrimp. I noticed eggs on her under belly.

My cleaner shrimp has been hiding for the past week or so. I can see him under a rock and he’s living but his antennas are pretty much gone. I’ve been spot feeding him to make sure he eats and he does. Any ideas?
