I highly recommend the cuttlebone. Before cuttlebone, we did the same as you Matt -- did nothing but kill shrimp. Now post-cuttlebone, we've reproduced the six yellow shrimp we got from Shango into three dozen.
Thanks Cuttlebone!--

I have the exact opposite luck. The last cherry shrimp I got from Susan had all vanished after 48 hours. It was an established
tank with a betta in it. I didn't have cuttlebone, but I did have an oyster shell in the filter.
The betta went crazy trying to eat them too, which was a big surprise. I am sure the stress did not help.

I dont really have anything to say unfortunately. I don't pay much attention to my tank chemistry. I just get
really lucky because shrimp love all the moss I have and go nuts. That and I discovered cuttlefish bone. That is
the extent of what I have to share. If I had any expertise, I'd be glad to share but alas I just ignore them and
they populate.

Subject: [GSAS-board] shrimp $
I second the notion to buy some shrimp
if Jimmy can do it that's great
otherwise Kevin?
$20-50
I assume Susan and Cliff etc will be selling theirs too
and
any ideas for dinner?
