I use Ash, Peach, and Indian Almond in my tanks. I would use Oak, but here in AZ it is hard to come by. Nice pics! Why do you use those species of trees? I have Ash and Peach, but never heard of Indian Almond. When they decompose do they provide more microbial "critters", or is it just wh...

There are several other grades.Do a search for CRS grading guide, you will find several with pictures and explanations of the terms.

So it kind of sounds like these shrimp are being graded similar to koi. I didn't know such a guide existed. And I will do a search for the grading guide, thanks!

I'm working on the photobucket thing at the present. When I get more familiar with it and uploading pics to the internet I'll try to post some.

Hello xchairity_casex, yes you can use clean sand, but it's a pain to keep clean without a power filter. Power filters aren't very good for cherries. You'll know when you have a pregnant female when you see small round sand colored eggs being carried under her tail. She will carry them in her swimer...

Nice looking shrimp, but I don't know what S+ or SS means.

I have learned in the past couple of years that water chemistry has a lot to do with coloring up fish. I don't know what mineral/element in the water would cause them to turn blue though. I also don't know if inverts would be affected the same way as fish. It also may be evolution in progress. I onc...

Today I received my Celebes Jungle crabs. They're also called Vampire crabs. They don't go through any larval stage as far as my research has turned up and they don't seem to need salt or brackish. They belong to the Geosesame speices. I've set up a tank for them that is 50% land (gravel)/water. The...

Thanks again for the info.

I gotta call myself a generalist when it comes to keeping things, but I leen more toward keeping rainbows.

As a biologist, it is a bit harder for me because I need to have a permit to collect specimens for science and must give the state a very detailed annual report.

If you collected these for your own home aquaria couldn't you just get a fishing license?

by Neonshrimp on Wed Apr 23, 2008 12:12 pm That is fine. The picture will help us with your question. You should go to Photobucket.com and open an account now so you can add your pictures there and just past the image link onto your post here when ready, it will make it alot easier Sorry, I'm not a...

If something erupts out of it's stomach , whatever you do don't shoot it! It's blood is all acid and will melt through many layers of steel. Just kidding. Maybe it's some sort of tumor. I hope it's not a parasite of some type, I just got some crabs from Sulawesi and I hate to think they may have the...

I have added Synodontis Petracola fry to one of my Red cherry shrimp tanks and expected the fish fry to eat smaller shrimp as supplemental feeding. So far my Petricola's are doing just fine, and the cherries are outpopulating the original colony!

Well today I found a food produced by a big name manufacturer and they called it Cyclopeeze and I bought it. It doesn't look like a freeze dried food, how do I know if it's the same thing?

The swimming white specks sound like paramecium, fish fry love 'em, I'm not sure if shrimp larva eat them or not.
