This started with small black spiky stuff coming out of the part of the shrimp wood which was protruding out of the tank (it never grew beneath the water, always above it). I usually kept removing it every week during tank maintenance and it kept coming back.. But this is a freaking surprise! 😅 it seems to have grown 3 mushrooms overnight! I saw something white in the spiky stuff at night, but didn't expect this surprise in the morning. I had posted regarding the spiky stuff once on reddit (will attach a link here if I can edit or will comment the link) and one of the redditors mentioned he had the same issue but in a red colour and that it was mycelium.. but nothing much in detail. Has anyone else encountered it? Is it safe to the tank/fish? Is it safe to touch? How do I get rid of it? And prevent it from coming back?

Shrimp flipping other shrimp over and appearing to consume it, what is happening??

These things are everywhere in my shrimp tank, at least 100 of them. My shrimp seem to be doing fine but if anyone knows what this is please let me know, thanks!

I just bought new shrimp and they're acting so wierd. 2 of them are sitting in the flow but not wierd behavior. This one is really wierd tho and idk what to do. My ph is like 7.6ish and my gh is 6. All I want them to do is live. What can I do

Tank is otherwise healthy. I had 5 adult + two baby shrimps before I introduced 11 more two days ago. There’s enough algae and food for everyone in the tank but I found that after introducing the new 11 shrimps they started huddling on the Seachem indicator which is very odd… Only a few on the indicator are munching on the algae that may have developed on the indicator but the rest are more idle than moving… is this a concern? If so what do you suggest me doing? I hope they’re not stuck…

I have a very stable 10g tanks with lots of babies. Yesterday I put some bloodworms in, as I often do, and today I find this female eating a dead shrimp. I honestly can’t think of any way this one medium shrimp could have died. It looks very healthy besides the fact that it’s dead. Is it possible that the female or some other shrimp killed this one? I know they don’t usually do anything like that but still.

Did I just witness murder or is my shrimp playing dead!? He was moving absolutely fine before my beast of a cory whipped him 😅

I’ve been shrimp keeper for 5 months of neos and amanos. Few days ago I’be found my biggest amano that she was turning darker at the top, I mean its organs were much darker than before.

Today, I’ve found a huge molt (I guess is its) and that strange belly. I have 2 neos eggnant, and their bellies are yellow and I can see the eggs through it. However in the amano I can’t see proper eggs. And… I thought that I’d only bought males…

Are they smaller and darker than in neo species? Or is some illness that I have to take care of with meds?

Did an 80% water change twice and took out the struggling ones to this container. Rest of the shrimp look ok for now. Anything I can do to save them/prevent more casualties?

One of my shrimp keeps on attempting to climb out of my tank and seems to have the white ring of death while my other shrimps are molting normally and ill try to provide water parameter once my test kit comes today. sorry if I'm wrong about the white ring part as I'm still a beginner

So what is happening here? This can't be normal? I honestly don't know how to even describe it. It looks like a bacterial bloom but it looks like it's coming from this shrimp specifically?

So, I have what I had always assumed was some kind of biofilm growing on the glass of my tank (it’s about a year old). They look like tiny little mushrooms that bob around and the snails like to eat it. But lately I’ve notice it growing on a few of my shrimp as well. After tons of googling I can not find anything like it- thoughts? Shrimp are happy and breeding and molting like normal, and it only appears on a few of them (all mature).

I saw this shrimp yesterday and I thought he was just holding onto something and eating it. Today, he still has it and I realised it’s stuck to him? Any ideas what this is?

Apologies if this is the wrong flair - I don’t see a more suitable one

I noticed she was rotating them like usual but they all started falling out. Thus is my first berry so I'm devastated

I was adjusting my filter when, with a sudden burst of water, this thing was propelled from the rocks.

just saw this bug/spider-like thing in my tank, wtf is it??

Found this in my shrink tank

I totally dont understand whats going on. Every night they going on jumpy like this and some of them even lays flat on the bottom (pic added in comment).

pH: 7.5 to 7.8. swings at night between those numbers. GH: 10 KH: 6 Ammonia, nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 Temperature: 24 Celcius

I am afraid they will die tonight :(

I suspect the swing in pH is causing them this. Any idea how to keep the pH stable at night? Or is it caused by something else entirely?

My power went out at some point overnight and is still out now (8am) How long will they be okay for? What can I do to help them get oxygen?

she has been kicking the eggs for 20 minutes now and I don't know why I just hope she's okay what's going on

Hi guys, can anyone tell me or point me in the right directions.

55gallon tank, mixture of shrimp and fish. Tank is established 6 months. Zero additions in 6 weeks, last addition was plants. Weekly water change of 20% and my tank has flourished until today. This is the scene.

Paramaters apart from NO3 which has spiked to 50.

I'm a little gutted
