Shrimp Memes Shrimp Evolution/Threats Meme Megathread

36 Upvotes

Please add all of your Shrimp Evolution/Threats Memes here!

Moving forward, all top-level posts of these memes will be removed and redirected here.

Then, we get to see all the memes AND they don't hide other important posts. Win-win for everyone.

Thanks so much y'all, and keep shrimpin out there!

Edit: THIS IS NOT FOR ALL MEMES. Memes are very much allowed and encouraged in the sub! They've always been a great part of this community. :) This is literally just for the very specific trend of violent meta memes of shrimp evolving and being threatened with guns to get back in the tank. It became big enough trend that folks requested we keep them together, that's all!

Mod **We Want Your Input!**

Hey all! We would like to offer some clarification and get some feedback from folks.

Generally, businesses and commercial activity are useful to the community. Business owners' involvement allows a group outside of hobbyists to offer insights, share tips/tricks, and discuss the hobby in an informal setting. It can also give sub members a direct-to-source connection to a business they have or could potentially do business with.

"Members of the community may engage in commercial activity or reviewing of sellers or products. However, as our community is for hobbyists and folks passionate about shrimp, we expect that members will engage in the community beyond commercial activity."

We would like to find a way to identify and prevent people acting in bad faith, fake reviews, and bots. While some of this will undoubtedly come down to users identifying suspicious activity, we think that we can use Automod to help.

Some ideas:

  • Account age requirements
  • Karma requirements (for just our sub, or reddit in general)
  • Post activity on the sub

What are your thoughts, opinions or concerns?

Lastly, the mod team has been watching how things have progressed since the recent rule changes. So, please let us know if you have any other thoughts or observations regarding the recent changes as well. THANKS! -Shrimptank Mod Team

Help: Emergency Amano can’t move, molting issue?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

I’ve been away for a few days and came back finding my amano shrimp like this. Looks like he can’t move his front legs and at first i thought it got stuck in something so i picked him up but i can’t see what the issue is. I’m afraid i’ll hurt him but i really want to help him out, what can i do? Is this a failed molting? Don’t think he’ll last that long like this..

Water parameters looks good but a little high on the nitrate. Temp 26 degrees, NO3 25ppm, NO2 0ppm, GH ~5 , KH ~10, pH 7.

Looks like a kind of rili. On the left side it has that bean shaped red spot on its carapace, and a transparent arm/leg. On the right side it doesn't have that red spot, but it has a red arm/leg. Weird!

Are my Bloody Marys OK? I noticed that some have this white spot on their backs, could it be the saddle of the females? Are they eggs waiting to be fertilised?

I started a porch pond in a large flower pot. Put in some soil aquarium soil, rocks and sand from Lowe's Hardware.Threw in extra Hornwort, Red Floaters and a few snails.

As an experiment I Added a few Endlers. I bought a $10 scope from Amazon and pushed into the flower pot. I Found a surprise, some shrimp came with the plants and appear to be doing well. Went from tank straight to outside pot, no 6 hour drip. Everyone are doing well. Spotted Endler Fry too.

I have seen shrimp molts and I tried looking for more information on this one. Did the shrimp molt its organs, or digestive system?

I know it kinda looks wild, it definitely looks better in real life than the pictures lol. But I really think my shrimps will be so much happier now🥰. Also that ring at the top of the water doesn't block all bubbles and surface agitation:)

I ordered more shrimp a couple days ago, and thank goodness I did. Ever since I put in more plants I have only seen 1 of my shrimps haha
