For Neocaridina shrimp keepers
Shrim takes you from an empty tank to a breeding colony of cherries, blues, yellows or any Neocaridina color. It tells you what to buy, when the tank is ready, and what every water reading means for your shrimp.
Early access. Works in your phone's browser, no install.
The numbers every Neocaridina lives by, whatever its color. Shrim checks every reading you log against them and tells you what to do when one drifts.
Every color, one species
All Neocaridina colors share the same water and care. Shrim adds color-specific guidance for breeding and culling, so your line stays true.
Why shrimp die
Shrimp are far more sensitive than fish. Shrim keeps an eye on all three so you can catch problems early.
Shrimp added before ammonia and nitrite hold at zero, or big swings from large water changes.
Shrim tracks your cycle and says when the tank is ready. It reminds you to change 10 to 15 percent weekly, not more.
GH too low and shrimp die mid-molt. Too high and the old shell won't come off.
Shrim flags GH, KH and TDS outside the target range and explains how to correct them slowly.
Chloramine in tap water, copper from pipes or fish meds, pesticides on new plants.
Shrim's troubleshooter matches what you see, like deaths right after a water change, to the likely cause and the fix.
How it works
Your experience, where your tank is today, its size, and your water source. Shrim builds a plan for that exact starting point.
Seven milestones, from gathering gear to keeping your color line true. Each one tells you the next thing to do.
Enter a water test or a headcount in under a minute. Shrim checks it, charts it, and schedules what's due next.
What's inside
Temperature, water chemistry, toxins, minerals, feeding, acclimation and breeding. Read the right ones first.
Eight parameters charted against their target band, so a slow drift shows up before it hurts.
Daily, weekly and monthly jobs that reschedule themselves, plus a feeding tracker that knows when to skip.
Headcounts, berried females and shrimplets, with photos to compare color before you cull.
Tap what you're seeing and get the likely cause and the fix, plus a drip acclimation timer.
Keep a main colony, a cull tank and a grow-out tank side by side, each with its own logs.
