Fair shirmp Egs - Streptocephalus siamensis

The Mini crabs are going! The freshwater fairy shrimp (Dendrocephalus brasiliensis) The freshwater fairy shrimp Dendrocephalus brasiliensis is from Brasil and breed as life food for ornamental fish.from Thailandis is very well suited for aquarium at temperatures around 24 - 28 °C. Keeping is optimal in a small aquarium with soft water. They grow fast and they can have a size of 1 cm after 2 weeks. Then the female start to lay eggs. Facts: Fairy shrimp among to the anostraca, have a fascinating floating manner and are even a nutritious feed for fish. Max. size: 30 mm Life expectancy: max. 3 - 4 months Cysts per female: max. 5000 Temperature: 22 - 30 °C (optimal 24 - 28 °C) pH Wert: 6,0 - 9,0 (optimal 6,5 - 7,5) Expected fairy shrimp amount: at least 100 or 1.000 per bag Aquarium starting with 2 liters Tip: An approach with fairy shrimp cysts should be used multiple times by respective drying because at the first time not all nauplii slip out.

Fairy shrimps (spring gillfoot) Fairy shrimps (spring gillfoot) are very common. Fairy shrimps are gilled crustaceans that have been found on our planet since prehistoric times in salt lakes, drying waters or polar waters.Only animals from Asia or America that live in a water temperature of 20-30°C are suitable for keeping in an aquarium. These species (Branchinella thailandensis and Dendrocephalus brasiliensis) live in waters that regularly dry out and are only filled with rainwater. The water is therefore very soft. Appearance The animals have 11 pairs of leaf feet. These leaf-shaped limbs serve not only for locomotion but also for breathing – which has led to the term "gilled-foot crustacean". There are sometimes minor differences in colour. They are found in colours ranging from orange to reddish-brown and may have greenish to bluish hues at the joints and at the boundaries of the segments.Both sexes have two short thread-like antennae. However, another pair of antennae differ in both shape and according to sex. Males have lobe-shaped appendages that can be curled up. Adult females are mainly distinguished by the ventrally located brood sacs, which are filled with eggs, and the ends of the female's tail are translucently light. Systematics Phylum: Arthropoda / ArthropodsSubphylum: Crustacea / CrustaceansClass: Anostraca – Gill-feetFamily: BranchipodidaeGenus: Branchipus / Eubranchipus /Tanymastix etc. Care Depending on the species, fairy shrimps live for 6-12 weeks and the size of adult animals varies from 1-3cm.Can Triops and fairy shrimps be kept together?yes, they can Aquarium size: Initially, a Faunarium box size 230 x 155 x 170 mm is quite sufficient From a body length of 1.5cm, they can be gradually accustomed to larger tanks Basic lighting: Sunlight or aquarium lighting is sufficientAeration: An air pump with a stone and very little air flow is sufficient for keepingSetup:Only water and breeding substrate in the breeding/starting container. A little fine aquarium sand can be used as substrate (but this is not absolutely necessary)Decorations can be used, but are only for our eyes and not of importance to the fairy shrimps.Fairy shrimps are free-swimmers – so they need enough free swimming space in the breeding container.If the animals swim around freely, you can also add a little aquarium moss to the water. To ensure the water is soft, it is best to use 2/3 distilled water and 1/3 mineral water (non-carbonated).Water temperature: Fluctuations in temperature of +/- 5° C are not dramatic.The ideal breeding temperature is 26°.Start:The larvae only hatch when they are completely surrounded by water. Therefore, place the eggs on adhesive tape and then put this in the water – so the eggs are not washed to the edge and always remain in contact with water.After 1-3 days the larvae hatch. The larvae grow quickly and can reach sexual maturity after up to 40 moults in one to two weeks. The males hold the females with their jaw pincers shortly before and also during mating. After mating, the eggs develop in the egg sacs on the females’ abdomens. They fall to the bottom of the water and can survive for several years of prolonged drought in the substrate.When the fairy shrimps have died, the water can be drained off and the substrate with the eggs left completely dry. The larvae can only hatch again if the eggs were completely dry.Once this is dried out, a new batch can be started.If no substrate is used, you can also siphon off the eggs with a thin hose. Let the water containing the eggs run through a fine net or a coffee filter – this way you can collect the eggs.Important: The animals do not tolerate large water changes. If fairy shrimps are to be moved to a larger home, it is best to place the animals together with the breeding water into the new home or tank and slowly fill up the container with conditioned tap water. Feeding The larvae are fed from the 3rd day after hatching.The larvae can be fed with algae powder or JBL Artemio fluid. For all animal husbandry: Children must be guided, supervised and monitored by their parents. Children must learn that an animal has its own needs and habits and they must respect this. Parents should be aware that they are responsible for the animal. For questions and problems our trained team at Zoo Roco is at your disposal. They can advise you professionally on all matters.

Mix the fruit vinegar/apple cider vinegar with water in a 1:1 ratioa piece of sugar cube and a little dry yeast serve as food (already included in the breeding mixture). Lid may only rest on the opening, because the acetic lice need oxygen.For feeding, carefully add the culture liquid with the Essigälchen up to about 3 cm below the edge in a Schnapps bottle/Erlenmeyer flask with a thin neck. Insert cable ties and filter floss so that the floss is just covered by the liquid. is covered. Fill with normal water and wait 1 day.Aspirate the vinegar dish with the pipette over the absorbent cotton and feed directly.Put liquid from the liquor bottle back into the breeding bottle.
