RCS breeding for darker color

I have been reading articles and post at this site for some time now in search of a answer to a question I have. Mustafa's article "Myth of the reverting red cherry shrimp" was a great read but I still wonder... My situation is this. I have 2 Red females from a shipment a few months ago, t...

How about this lens, Nikon 55 mm F3.5 macro lens with extension tube. It's used in excellent condition.

My digital is an HP photosmart 850, 4.1 MP with 8X optical zoom. The zoom is why I bought the camera as I was doing some wildlife photography at the time. The shutter delay can be maddening at times,like trying to take pictures of a hummingbird at a feeder. Macros focus on the camera does not work v...

One more thing,
I have read that Amano shrimp and Red Cherry eat hair algae but I have not seen the black hair or bush type specifically mentioned. All alga's are not created equal.
thanks Bob B.

Want to give an update here on the piece of corkscrew I placed in my RCS tank. After 12 hours most all of the black stuff has gone uneaten. Think I can conclude black hair algae is not a food of choice to the reds. As far as Amano shrimp go I have already been researching the net to purchase some, d...

Thank you! The lens is G type, so I guess it will not work. I pulled all my old film stuff out, Old Pentax manual 35mm, says MG one the body. I have several lens, one is macro. I'm not sure what all this means...Samyang automatic 1:2.8 f=28mm No.919013. The lens is probably useless as they won't wor...

Thanks for the replies. I tried an experiment, last night I placed a small piece of anacharis that was covered in black hair algae, in my RCS tank. One berried female began feeding on it, this morning it was picked clean. Hmm, This could be explained in that very little algae grows in this tank so I...

Hello fellow shrimpers. My first experience with RCS gave me second thoughts about keeping shrimp too. I ordered 5 RCS from a well known supplier, paid almost 6$ a shrimp and almost $50 for overnight shipping. I lost one shrimp the first night. They where older shrimp and colored up very nicely. Tha...

Red Cherry shrimp and black hair algae

Hi to all! I know my RCS will eat most green and brown algae, Will they eat black hair or bush algae? I had a PH regulating chemical cause a huge phosphate spike in my planted community tank. I have the phosphates under control but I am now dealing with a black hair algae outbreak. I'm considering m...

i know what you mean, I started a few months ago with 5 ghost shrimp in my 55 gal community tank. Now I have a 15 gal shrimp only tank with over 50 RCS and 9 berried females. Yikes! Need more tanks!

Would the current 28-88mm Nikkor lens be ok? This camera has been in storage for over a year, will get some batteries today and find out.

Nikon N75

I recently acquired a Kikon N75 with a Nikkor 28-80mm lens. I looking at lenses now but is this a good camera for extreme close ups?.
Thanks Bob B.
