The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

Depending how old they are you may get eggs showing up after moulting. Have you observed any chasing or some seeking out other shrimp .

No chasing, but at odd times I'll see one Shrimp doing high speed laps of the tank.
From Red ones to White their main aim seems to be Eating ! Do you ever put an Indian Almond leaf in an Opae ula tank

Nope, they tend to reduce a tanks PH (which we dont need) and their main purpose is to break down to offer antibacterial properties to the shrimp tank. I wouldn't bother with them if i had to be blunt.

Thanks for that, they seem OK without

Nom ! nom nom, it looks like it's about to 'burst'

Seems quite on here, hope I'm not posting too much ?
since I removed the two small tanks from the counter top next to the Opae ula tank there's been several Opae
out all the time both the small tanks had an internal power filter and though you couldn't hear them
I wonder if there was a vibration, through the counter top, the Opae didn't like ?

Post to your hearts content! I love seeing photos inside other peoples tanks. That’s a good point about the vibrations and could be why but unless you put it back on and see if they go back into hiding I guess we will never know. The tank that those shrimp came from didn’t have any sort of external disturbance at all so maybe they are a bit sensitive lol.

I don't usually see any on the substrate they're usually on the tank sides or the Lava rock and Coral but spotted one grubbing about

Noticed a couple of shed skins on the tank sides when the lights came on this morning
