Ghost Shrimp

[whiteroses91]

I breed red cherry shrimp and yellow shrimp. I have tried ghost shrimp, but they suck! lol It's hard to breed them and I am very experienced in breeding. If you are intrested in getting some, send me a message and I would be more than happy to help you get a tank set up for the little things. The cycled thing is real simple. They sell chemicals, to stablize the water, for you can use the good bacteria off of rocks, from another tank to get it going. (the rock method is what we used for our most recent yellow shrimp tank).

Maybe I'll try again. I tried to set up a tank a couple of months ago, but something wasn't right. I got some ghost shrimp at Wal mart and with in five days they all died.
So, I haven't tried again.
Maybe, since the weather is getting warmer I will give it another go!( Not sure if that will make a difference, I bought a heater to put in the last one.)

Thanks for your help.

I would fill the tank with water, rocks, ect. and let sit for a couple weeks or more, with a filter running. They sell chemicals, to stabalize the water, but I wouldn't suggest using them, seeing as shrimp are sensitive to water conditions.
Red cherry shrimp are a drawf shrimp and seem to be easy to breed. With only shrimp in a tank, a dozen should turn into 50 in a matter of weeks.
I would go to a pet store (like PetLand) for your ghost shrimp. Most places sell feeder ghost shrimp for 100 for like $10-15. Dwarf shrimp should probably be purchased from a person online, because they run between $3-4 each at the store, while online you can get them around $1.50 each.
If you know anyone with a fish tank, steal a handful of rocks from their tank and wrap it in a piece of panthose. As long as their tank is well established and they don't have fish death, everything should be okay. Drop the "package" in the tank and let it sit. If you're in a hurry, this method gave me a shrimp safe tank in a week and a half.
Feel free to message me, if you need any help.
