Oh man :x I just found another dead red cherry and again a big 2 inch amano was dinning on him. Is it possible that the cherry was molting and was taken as lunch by the amano? I mean while it's in the stage of breaking out of it's old skin, the cherry can't run or defend it's self and died of shock ...

Arrrg!!!! another copper discovery damit :evil: Some of the Flourish Tabs by Seachem contain 0.00036 copper!!! I put 3 or 4 tabs in my 125g about 2 months ago. I never siphoned my gravel cause of my plants and I guess I wont be able to add any more new plants or replant cause I'm worried that I migh...

WOW!!! That video of that mother shrimp giving birth is awsome

The yellow behind the head goes about half ways down the body right Mustafa? I had 4 red cherries with the yellow sack but they seem to have lost it :? Did mine abort or does the yellow disappear as the true eggs start to form? By the way nice tanks guys :) I can't seem to figure out how to put up m...

Welcome Pigheaddd!!!

I've visted that site a few time before.

I would like to get a breeding tank going but my wife is starting to raise an eyebrow at all the money I have been spending on my 125 g. tank :roll: I have a bare 5 gallon tank that I bought a while back as a molting tank for my hermit crabs but I never really used it much cause I found that the her...

True its best to just leave well enough alone, especially when everything right now looks and seems to be ok. Thanks again Mustafa

I just finished doing a water change and while I waited for the tanks to fill ( I use the garden hose ) I happen to notice that Kordon's NovAqua detoxifies copper and other heavy metals :!: So if I was to use NovAqua every time I dosed the tank with plant nutrient that contains small traces of coppe...

Thanks Mustafa I do feel better now knowing that they are incapable of actually killing one another. I really like all of my shrimps but some how I am more attached to the cherry reds cause I been wanting some ever since I got into fresh water shrimps. And to see one actually dead just ruined my eve...

I am absolutely 100% positive that it was an amano chowing down on the cherry. I don’t have and never will have any Macrobrachium sp. in my tank. I'm wondering if the cherry got tangled up in the java moss and made it vulnerable to the larger amano. When I tried to take the cherry away from the amin...

I just took out a cherry shrimp out of my tank that was being eaten by a much larger amano. :x The cherry was about 1/2 inch and the amano eating it is 1 1/4 inch. I just happen to glance at my tank as I was walking by and to my shock and horror I saw the amano picking away at the cherry. The two sh...

Mustafa, I would be happy to pick some up. I was at Petown last Thursday and I was going to buy some more for my self but that’s when I saw that they had Crystal reds and I ended up forgetting about the "Rainbows". The rainbows or Japonica as they are called at the store are very small abo...

Here is a site where they have a pic of the rainbow shrimp. The one in the picture is brownish like most of the 12 I have. But 2 are orange and one is black with the back strips a nice light tan. At 99 cents each I think they are great little algea eaters. http://www.fishpondinfo.com/shrimp2.htm Tha...

Piscesgirl I think your tank is very beautiful :D I'm also have some problems with rams and trumpet snails. I'm going to have to start taking some snails out but I kinda like the way the trumpet snails keep my gravel from becoming anaerobic. If you look closely at my gravel you can see movement. I d...
