    Discussion for invertebrate only aquarium

    At some point in the future, I would like to set up an aquarium with only invertebrates like snails, crabs, shrimp, brittle stars, and so on. (no fish or corals!)

    Hardiness of Cleaner Shrimp?

    Re-entering reefing after being gone for 8 years, the price of Cleaner Shrimp has surprised me most. Before I throw 2.5 hours of work (of my wage) on a prawn, how long do you all have your shrimps for? Back in the day I recall them being a bit more sensitive? But I was newer to the hobby and...

    Just curious if I’m doing this right. I have a currently 20 inch long zebra moray eel in my 310 gallon. After a week in my tank he’s finally started eating. I fed him a piece of raw uncooked table shrimp. And then 3 days later I fed him a scallop. Plan on feeding him again again tomorrow. I have...

    What are my bumble bee shrimp doing?

    https://youtube.com/shorts/nv32GWivRPU?feature=share What are these guys doing? I thought I had ID'd them as a male and a female so I am wondering if they are fighting, establishing territory, mating? I am really not sure but it is very interesting.

    Shrimp/inverts that breed readily in tanks?

    As an avid freshwater enthusiast, I absolutely love freshwater shrimp, especially since they will breed constantly and keep their populations high without much effort.
