The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

It might be my imagination, but they seem to swim around like little soldiers. Nice videos.

Nice video. So they don't go to the surface of the water to feed yet?

They seem to 'struggle' to swim upwards and move up the glass walls, They seem to just scurry around on the sand and rocks just leaving the substrates surface when they popcorn away from others.

How are the Alphas?

They are all doing really well and are growing! I've spotted one of them who has a clear tail

Sorry for the quality, they move so god damn fast! This is at feeding time today:

Cool pics. Never seen a clear tail, now you need a separate tank to breed clear tails.

That would be awesome haha! I was thinking of buying some ceramic tubes and caves to fill the rest of the back of the tank for them as they like hiding in the day.

A quick shot of one of my alphas, chilling out on its rock

He certainly looks like the king of his kingdom.

Not much to say about this tank, i made up 5 litres of fresh brackish water to fill up their tank as i had a big empty part from when i moved these little guys from the parcel they came in to give room for the water they travelled in but i removed too much before hand. Now they have settled i made up 1.013 brackish water and added it so the water line is to the top. I also fed them some fish flake.

I'm thinking of removing the big piece of ocean rock from the banded only Opae ula tank and moving it into the Alpha tank to make more hiding spots and replacing the rock in tank #02 with black lava rock. I don't want to add new ocean rock in as it will have dye off and will release a lot of ammonia.
