[pleistocene-pride]

Palaemonetes paludosus better known as ghost shrimp, glass shrimp, and eastern grass shrimp, is a species of freshwater shrimp native to the southeastern United States. Here they can be found throughout freshwater ponds, lakes, and streams east of the Appalachian Mountains from Florida all the way up into New Jersey. They have also been introduced throughout California, Mexico, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. They are a primarily nocturnal and some what social species which lives in large groups spending there time amongst beds of various aquatic vegetation where they feed upon algae, plankton, the aquatic plants themselves, detritus, and smaller invertebrates chiefly aquatic insects and there larvae. Ghost shrimp are themselves preyed upon by various fish, crayfish, water birds, turtles, and amphibians. Reaching around 1-2 inches (25 – 50mm) in length, ghost shrimp sport a notably transparent carapace and internal tissues allowing one to see its internal organs through its integument. This clearness provides a high degree of camouflage especially in cloudy or muddy water, and is the reason for there common names. The breeding season of these shrimp varies by location and water temperature, during said time the females ovaries take on a greenish color. After mating the female will lay 8 to 35 eggs, and like many crustaceans the mother will carry her developing eggs on their abdomen until they hatch some 2 months later. Ghost shrimp larval development is short, consisting of three stages, and under ideal conditions a ghost shrimp may live upwards of a year.

Shrimp of the Day #2

Palaemonetes paludosus

also known as the ghost shrimp, glass shrimp, and eastern grass shrimp

What are some good shrimp to keep for people who’ve never kept them before?

Shrimp in general tend to be not too tricky, though of course as with all animals there's a learning curve and some are more sensitive than others. Ultimately I would recommend looking at your options and deciding which interests you the most and go from there to see if their care is doable for you.

Look at their native habitat, speak to keepers and breeders, join some specialty shrimp groups or forums, etc.

Here's a list of some species to consider:

-Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata) -Glass/ghost shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus) -Opae ula (Halocaridina rubra) -Bee shrimp (Caridina cantonensis) -Cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) -Bamboo shrimp (Atyopsis moluccensis)

Time for POND TALK

So last year I had the idea to keep neocaridina shrimp in my pond. I live in USDA zone 7b, which is pretty warm and I figured a heater would be sufficient for our mild winters. If you follow me on TikTok you'll know this went well at first, but later a sudden unexpected cold snap before I had the heater put an end to this experiment. But this wouldn't have worked anyway: I was very rudely informed of my folly by a severe ice storm that knocked out our power for a week and iced over the pond. Such power outages aren't unusual, especially in the winter, so even a high powered heater can't be counted on. The fish are native fathead minnows and don't even go torpid when their water freezes over, but the shrimp would not have survived. So this past spring I didn't restock.

There is however, a species of tiny shrimp native to this area! I knew this to begin with, but the problem is they're extremely difficult to obtain in hobbyist numbers. They're a type of grass/glass/ghost shrimp, and there are two such species in the US: Palaemonetes paludosus, and Palaemonetes kadiakensis. P. paludosus are found far to the south, preferring warm temperatures and having no real cold hardiness. P. kadiakensis on the other hand ranges as far north as the great lakes. You can buy "ghost shrimp" at pet stores, but they're usually P. paludosus, the Florida grass shrimp. It's very rare for any seller to state what specific species they have though, and in my research I've read of people buying what they thought were P. kadiakensis (aka PK shrimp) but they turned out to be Florida grass shrimp, or even some other variety of prawn entirely. For my situation, there can't be any substitutions, so I had given up on it. Grass shrimp are usually only bought to be used as food for bigger animals, or fishing bait, and people buying them for that don't usually care what specific species they get, so there's little incentive for proper labeling.

More recently though I found one lone eBay seller with labeled PK shrimp, who raises them in an outdoor pond not far from me. They state that their pond freezes over in winter, which implies they do in fact have PKs. There is still some question of whether this is a good idea or not - their pond is no doubt much larger than mine, and even though the bottom of the Big Puddle is below the frost line and has a heater down there, it isn't as warm as a big pond. But try as I might I can't find much useful information. This is one of those things that you have to experiment with on your own. The reason I tried the neocaridina was because I read of people keeping them outdoors further north of me!

Another thing I'm looking into is daphnia, daphnia magna specifically. They're good at eating the algae that cause green water, and they'd make good food for all the dragonflies and tadpoles I get in the summer. Maybe my fish fry would get a chance to survive if they weren't a primary food source for said predators. Seriously, I did have a bunch of fry this year, but only two survived because there are so dang many dragonfly nymphs! The dragonflies kept the American toads from creating a Biblical plague on my backyard though and I appreciate that. I had three toad spawns, one failed for some reason but the other two hatched thousands of tadpoles. I really enjoyed watching them grow, but it wouldn't have been much fun if they'd all survived to adulthood. I don't think a suburb can support 4,000 adult American toads.

Before I can do anything with crustaceans though, I have to wait for my copper test to get here. Crustaceans are very sensitive to copper, which is in algaecide, which I had to use a lot of this summer when the tadpoles' addition of organic matter and hot temperatures caused an explosive algal bloom. Changing out the water isn't a big deal and I'll have to partially drain the pond in the spring anyway, but I want to know exactly what the levels are. I'll have to drain the pond to divide the water lilies, btw: I started with three and this year each of them made at least two babies!

VA Native Fish Hunting - 14

Today was a fun day down on the Potomac. I went specifically to capture Striped Killifish (no luck) but also found shark teeth and petrified bones. Oh, and found some other aquatic stuff. So, that's always neat.

For the first hour I didn't catch anything. Hard time finding any fish at all, probably because it was high tide. Most of the fish I saw last time were around a sand bar which was no longer present. Once I started netting around some seaweed randomly (looking for Gobies) I started catching Eastern Grass Shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus). Love these little guys.

A handful of the shrimps I caught were females, berried with lots of eggs. I tried not to pester them too much, but who can resist the opportunity to take a picture? I've heard Palaemonetes needs freshwater and brackish to breed and raise eggs - given where I found the berried females (near the inlet) there might be some truth to that.

Okay, well. They were pretty common in some areas. I was catching 4 or 6 in single swipes at some locations. I am tempted to use them in a biotope tank someday!

I never was able to find any Striped Killifish, but I did eventually catch this Mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus). These are also brackish to full marine and are very hardy - I have one already in my saltwater tank after all.

I managed to catch 6 of them - 3 of which were suffering from leeches. I transitioned the 'chogs to full saltwater (from 1.006) and hoped it would kill off the leeches but nope - still sticking strong. So I removed them with tweezers. Not a fun way to spend a day but yknow. I think my existing Mummichog will love the company.

What are some Brackish water shrimp for a specific gravity of 1.010

This is a bit trickier because there are some that are sold somewhat commonly, but may not be any that work for you.

Opae'ula or Red Shrimp (Halocaridina rubra) is the darling in the brackish shrimp world - but they are small. Incredibly small. They really are only suited for species only tanks, or maybe with certain snails. Mixing with fish is a no go.

There are also a few glass shrimp (Palaemonetes spp.) species which can tolerate this salinity. P. varians is sometimes sold as a saltwater bait and I've caught P. paludosus at this salinity. But these are cool to cold water only and will try to escape a tropical tank eventually. I don't really recommend either for tropical communities.

Which shrimp species are best for beginners? | 4 best starter shrimp

If you're just getting into shrimp keeping it can be a little difficult to figure out which type to get started on with. There are so many species! So various colors, sizes and different requirements to choose from. Some are difficult to look after and some are a breeze. Luckily, The Shrimp Farm can help. Keep reading to determine the 4 very best starter shrimp! Red Cherry shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. Red) Red Cherry shrimp are most likely the most popular dwarf shrimp among both newbies and more capable shrimp keepers. And once and for all reason! This reddish colored Neocaridina variety isn't too fussy about water values, very easy to breed and quite attractive.

Colors can vary from a good light pink to deep blood vessels red and with smart selective breeding you may easily improve the intensity. Keep your Red Cherry shrimp in a fully cycled aquarium of for least around five gallons (19L). If you're interested in breeding your Cherries a single species setup with only shrimp is recommended. However, these shrimp also do well in relaxing community setups, as they breed very quickly and the casual casualty won't damage the population at all. Provide your Crimson Cherries with plenty of hiding places, in community tanks especially, and feed a high quality shrimp food. You can look for a full Red Cherry shrimp caresheet at The Shrimp Farm here. Amano shrimp (Caridina multidentata) Amano shrimp are named after the later famous aquascaper Takashi Amano, who first introduce them into the aquarium hobby on a large scale. Though colorless rather than too exciting to look at, these shrimp are among the most preferred because they are pretty hardy, have a huge appetite for algae and make a great cleaning crew. They are a little bigger than dwarf shrimp but nonetheless entirely peaceful and an excellent addition to any calm community tank. The only downside is they are almost impossible to breed in the house aquarium: they hatch as larvae which go through a brackish level where they desire a very specific amount of salt. After that, they need to be returned to fresh water at specifically the right time. Keep the Amano shrimp in a heated and cycled aquarium of at least around ten gallons (38L). Much like all shrimp, provide lots of hiding places in the kind of plants, rocks and driftwood. If there is a lot of algae for the shrimp to eat you don't need to supplement their diet plan all that much but make certain to always have some shrimp food readily available in the event the algae run out. You can find a full Amano shrimp caresheet at The Shrimp Farm here. Caridina Japonica Shrimp with eggs Caridina Japonica Shrimp with eggs by carolineccb Blue Wish shrimp (Neocaridina davidi var. Blue) Blue Dream shrimp are a blue Neocaridina davidi variety: basically a blue version of Red Cherries. Their care requirements will be the same, they don't need very particular water values and their striking color makes them an excellent eyecatcher in virtually any shrimp tank. Like all shrimp in addition they make a good cleaning crew that keeps the aquarium tidy by eating leftover foods and algae. They can be combined with small, relaxing fish species (provided there are plenty of hiding places) but show themselves more and breed of dog more readily within an invert-only setup with snails and other shrimp. There are more Neocaridina davidi varieties out there lots, all of them easy to care for and an excellent breeding project for beginners. Choose Blue Velvets if you're looking for a lighter blue color or possibly a bright Yellow! Merely don't incorporate these shrimp in one aquarium; they carry out interbreed and any offspring will include a brownish wild color.

blue dream shrimp Ghost shrimp (Palaemonetes sp.) Ghost shrimp are often sold as cheap foodstuff for larger seafood species but can also make an interesting everlasting addition to the aquarium. They are upon this list because they are incredibly hardy and will tolerate bad water values a lot better than most other shrimp. A great option if you're just getting started! 'Ghost shrimp' is a good collective brand for various shrimp species in the Palaemonetes genus, thus be sure to purchase from an established seller to avoid ending up with an enormous aggressive river prawn or perhaps brackish variety. The Shrimp Farm markets Palaemonetes paludosus, which doesn't grow too large and really should work fine generally. Continue to keep your ghost shrimp in a cycled aquarium of at least around 10 gallons. A relaxing community should work only fine (though bear in mind ghost shrimp can be slightly considerably more aggressive than dwarf shrimp). Ghost shrimp larvae are tiny and very vulnerable, so if you're interested found in breeding and do not want the young to finish up being eaten a good single-species setup could possibly be the best idea.
