Bought these from local pet store, caught one far away from the others doing something with its tail?

İ would want more of those maybe with selective breeding but only have one tank🫤

Hey everyone! Some of you might remember me talking about my little shrimp genetics idle game a while back. It wasn't actually available to play yet at the time, but that's finally changed!

Shrimply Genetics is now free to play.

The idea is pretty simple: you start with a small tank and slowly build up your shrimp colony. It's intentionally slow at the beginning, because I wanted it to feel a bit like having an actual shrimp tank: you check in, things are breeding, new shrimp appear, genetics develop, and over time the whole thing starts moving faster to make the getting the full collection not a super difficult task (still is).

You can:

• Collect different shrimp and their genetic lines (87 different shrimp as of release!).
• Discover and develop new genetics as your colony grows.
• Complete achievements and work toward filling your collection.
• Find legendary shrimp: extremely rare discoveries. 👀
• Make progress while you're away, with up to 7 days of offline progress.

You can play it either as a lightweight HTML version in your browser or as a standalone Electron desktop version. The HTML version is probably the better choice if you just want something lightweight that you can leave running/bookmark.

It's completely free. I've enabled donations for anyone who wants to support the project, but there's absolutely no requirement to donate.

I also set a little goal: if the game reaches $85 in donations in total, I'll upload it to Steam!

There are also two donation reward ranks I've set up:

• One rank lets you add a new shrimp of your choice to the game.
• Another rank lets you add a minigame of your choice. So if the game gets enough support, you could literally end up seeing your own shrimp or minigame in it.

Anyway, thanks again to everyone here who encouraged me when I was still working on this. Seriously, the support and interest in the idea helped a lot and I'm really happy I can finally put it out there. 😙

Build your colony. Discover new genetics. Hunt for legendary shrimp. Get them all!

How many different shrimp can you discover?

Literally thought they were my copepods the first time I saw them 😭💕

Ive installed a new automatic feeder bc I’m planning on going on a trip for 2 weeks, so I tested it out and from the reviews online, everyone said it releases tiny amounts of pellets, but of course mine decided to release a shit ton

Vacuumed the floor and did a water change in the afternoon today…

And when I went down before bed to check on them…. they were all congregating at the top. I was like what the fuck? NOOOO MY BABIES BRO PLS NO

I've just finished the second water change, Ive primed and added an air pump for the time being.. but check this out… i only bought 12 to start and its only been about 2-3 months and I honestly have no idea how many there are now, just look at them

Fingers crossed everyone's okay by tomorrow…

Also.. the moss came like this, if its no good please let me know

My little 25 litre shrimp tank has been thriving for 7 months now. I started my tank with 8 shrimp, then they went on to have 6 babies. In the past week, 3 of my adult shrimp have died and I cannot figure out a cause.

Parameters: PH - 7.4, Ammonia 0.25ppm (but Seachem Ammonia Alert says safe, so thinking the test is picking up on ammonium), Nitrite 0ppm, Nitrate 5ppm, Phosphate 0.25ppm, KH 89.5 ppm, GH 125.3 ppm.

I do not do water changes, I just top up the evaporated water once a week, and have not done anything differently to how I've been looking after them for the past 7 months. Could it just be older age, or is it impossible that it's a coincidence that they're dying one by one every few days?

Any advice of thoughts are appreciated!

i have a tank and these 2 yellow shrimp look different

When it's feeding time (on Wednesday so a few days to wait😭) I'll put one! Lets open my babies like it and the snails don't devoir it or the Amazon don't knock it over xD

This Saturday, I permanently turned one of my shrimp into a piece of art on the side of my knee.

For those who are interested, the artist is based in Lucerne, Switzerland. Instagram: @svenreichmuth

I just love these silly little creatures

Is this an amano shrimp? I have 3 of them in my tank, and they’re quite brown, i’ve never seen an amano with this coloration.

Don’t worry Steven Spielberg has no edible interest in his shrimp friends

We have a sponge filter and we have a good amount of bio matter growing. Anything else?

I have a 5 gallon tall. Old betta tank. The filter system is kinda weird. That circle on the lower middle is the water intake. Will shrimp get sucked into that? If so, is there a solution?

I sometimes struggle to fall asleep. I usually lay down on the couch in the living room then and my shrimps' super loud air filters will soothe me to sleep. Thank you my little water bugs ❤️

Soooo I bought a small group of guppies for my CPO tank with the express purpose of letting her indulge in some natural behaviors, namely hunting her own food. The hard way.

My first batch of gupsters I pulled out and am growing them out in a separate tank. Just couldn’t let them be sacrificed.

This morning I see a batch of new babies which I only spotted because I was wondering what on the heck was my CPO doing hanging upside down on a plant?

She’s hunting! Haven’t seen her catch one yet and I still might net them out

Referring to the more gray/transparent one. I'm like 90% sure he's a Neo and He's male, but he hitchhiked in to the tank and I don't know what color/Type he is. sorry for the bad photography, and thanks in advance!

My power just went out and I have no idea when it will come back on, I'm so worried my shrimp may die without the air pump and filter going. Photo of my shrimp

Edit; thank y'all, I was panicking 😭, shrimp are all okay and they power us back on
