i wish i had pictures of that crypt when it was barely clinging to life bc i am SO proud of how huge it is now. but obviously i didn't really feel like taking pictures of it when it was like, a sickly little bundle of (optimistically) a half-dozen partially see-through leaves

I am very proud to announce that after years of wanting to learn but never being able to make the leap, I have started taking online classes and teaching myself ASL

I am even prouder to announce that my first learned sign is shrimp

[vriska]

Should I watch mha for the lesbians?

if ur in it ONLY for the girlies you might find yourself a little disappointed because despite all my posting they dont get nearly enough screentime BUT you know baseline bnha is a fun anime anyway and worth a shot

THAT’S GAARA BABEY !!

Oh to be a little shrimp hanging out on an anubia leaf

[flowerparadise]

I'm absolutely tired today 😑

[todaysbird]

what are your thoughts on shrimp

I LOVE THEM!!! this may come as a surprise for the bird blog but i loooove shrimp and ive wanted a shrimp tank for a long time. however i am continuously moving around so i’m not purchasing any aquatic animals until i know i’m in a more permanent living situation…shrimp are the best though. also remind me to talk about my 10000 brine shrimp named Jolene

Well, well, well… how the otturn tables 🦐😒🦦 Shrimp Week may be over, but the content never pawses!

If you enjoyed all the shrimps, shramps, and shromps we shared last week, have you considered donating? 🥺👉👈 Not only does it help justify all the copepod chaos to our bosses, but it also benefits our conservation and education programs! That means school groups can visit the Aquarium for free, wild sea otters are rescued, rehabilitated and released, and we can champion policies that reduce plastic pollution, among other things (like feeding the otters all the shrampies they desire…)

MOD MY FRIEND IS GETTING SHRAMPS THEY ARE MAKING A SHRAMP HAVEN (NOW /REF) IN THEIR BIG TANK THEY FOUND AND THEY WANNA MAKE IT A NO-FILTER ECOSYSTEM W GOOD PLANTS AND STUFF AND MAYBE SOME NEON TETRAS WHAT ARE UR THONKS AND ADVICE O GREAT FISHY ONE, BEARER OR CHILD AND SHRAMP KNOWLEDGE

OHHHHHH!!!!!!!

hang on though. revealing my shame. I've tried to start a shrimp colony 3 times and every time they REFUSE to breed and eventually die off.... once i have a little extra money for shramp i have a well established 5g I'll try ONE MORE TIME ON cuz i do love watching those little buggy guys...... so I'm not a shrimp guru 😔

BUT I WILL ADVISE. I've had neons and obvs I'm a planted tank freak :3

neons are tough cuz they actually get bigger than you think, i started with like 8 in a 10g with my very first tank and once they got fully grown they definitely didn't have enough room, I'm now like ok if you're gonna get neons or similar sized schooling fish you should get as many as possible (like 12-15 minimum) and in no smaller than a 20g long. i stand by that. if your friend wants a little schooling fish they should instead look at nano rasbora species!! i had 10 strawberry rasboras in my 5g and it was great (bigger is always better but these fish are sooo small they were ok). chilis and phoenix rasboras are also great. you could fit a bunch in a 10g no problem!!!

now with general tank stuff. i recommend starting with a sponge filter before trying to go no filter, because no filter needs a lot of time for plants and bacteria to establish before it'll work well. but the best place if you're aiming for no filter are floating plants and fast growing stem or runner plants. for floaters i like salvinia (avoid duckweed if possible but it'll probably manifest anyway, at which point just resign yourself to it lol), for stems i like rotala or cabomba (you can constantly trim and replant, self generating plants!), and for runners i like vallisineria (looks like grass and is always visually gorgeous). for the absolute end all easiest plant experience, throw in some guppy grass. no planting required just throw it in. it'll grow like crazy into big lush bunches. ultimate easy plant.

the longer you just let the tank go establishing itself before adding the shrimp, the better chance they have. then when adding them, you wanna add as many as possible at the jump, like 10 at least. it's also best (and usually cheapest) to see if a hobbyist is selling shrimp on local markets. that way you know they've been bred in hopefully your same quality of tap water, so transition should be easier.

WISH YOUR FRIEND THE BEST OF LUCK ON THEIR SHREST (shrimp quest)

MOAR PRIDE SHRIMPS 🏳️‍🌈🦐🏳️‍⚧️

SHRIMPY PRIDE PART 2: THE ARO&ACE SHRAMPS!! 🏳️‍🌈🦐🏳️‍⚧️

im so glad we have such a pretty flag :3

the basics look aesthetically pleasing as always uwu

the demis turned out futuristic looking, which i personally vibe with a lot uwu

and the grays look kinda creepy with those eyes, which is also quite a vibe 👁w👁

im definitely gonna make more of these cuz i just fucking love drawing sparkle shrimp

tell me if u have requests for any specific flag 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ :3

Do you have any tips for making the top part of the aquarium appealing to shrimp? I’m setting up my first tank (yay!) but the wood I got is WAY shorter than I thought and the top third of my tank is just. Empty. I want my little guys to use their whole enclosure!

My plan right now is just water lettuce and a tall background plant, but I was wondering if your creatures have a favorite upper-tank enrichment? Other than spider plant roots which 👀

to b honest it sounds like you’re doing a great job! they love the roots and little hidey spots, I had a spider plant in mine too lol the floater plants are also a big hit with my shramp, something i do for enrichment is putting a cube of bloodworms in a little net in the tank so they can forage for it 🫶

Look at that shramp!

Yeah so uh, @pleistocene-polina has been continuously sharing her Kamen Rider brainrot with me over the past few weeks and not to say that I've caught it too but.

Here's my Shin Kamen Rider OC, Monhanashako Augment 01 (She/They/It). Also known as Peacock Mantis Shrimp Aug. Or Shrimp Aug. Or The Freak.

It's a specialist in hand to hand combat and packs a (literal) lethal punch, which is why it's usually dispatched on assasination missions. Not like the rainbow coat makes them any good at stealth, anyway.

Look who came in the mail!!!

The special boy Bohug is here!!!

look at him he's so talented!!!

I also got a sticker :)

I put it on my guitar case 🫧

the sticker was in a little baggie sealed with a shrimp stamp (shramp) 🦐 so I put that on there too!

thank you so much @mysillycomics for my new best friend (⁠๑⁠´⁠•⁠.̫⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠`⁠๑⁠)

before we met I had no idea shimp had such a dedicated hobby scene and so many morphs, but it makes sense because I'm an isopod hobbyist with 5 species of isopod and know there are 100s of morphs of those lil dudes :>

As such I now want srimp.... how do I keep shramp.... when I clean my room I think I'll have space for a small tank

Keeping shrimp is a bit straight forward but like every animal needs their own specifics.

My last tank all died but after a lot of research I think this new setup is gonna work,,, I'd look into some basics before buying any!! And also make sure to not dump a lot of money into the expensive morphs until you got the hang of it down with some more basic neocaridina :>
