Red Cherry sex ID please :-)

Hi all :) , I would like you to confirm something for me, please. I am 99% sure that the pale shrimp on photo 1 and 2 is a male Red Cherry. What do you think? I am asking because just few weeks ago I thought that I have 5 males (they where small and pale) Now out of 9 shrimps 8 has white saddles and...

I like the fully framed tank. Haven't seen one like that in quite a while. Hi YuccaPatrol, here in Sweden it is very common for people to make this kind of DIY aquarium. They are very cheep. This 11 gallons cost me 15 euros approx 20$. My plan is to go more into shrimp and crayfish breeding. I will...

Yes it is a filter. Many aquarists advice not to use that huge BOX filter because it is very unsightly. Well I proved them wrong. It is very "out-of-sightly" :lol: Buy placing Java fern in front of it, it is almost totally invincible. But first I buried the box filter into the gravel. Here...

Hi Neonshrimp, thanks.
If you look closely, you will be able to see some small red creatures in front of the tank beside the withered oak leaves :D

They are so cute.

Regards, Dusko

11 gallon Red Cherry tank, UPDATE

Hi all, finally my RCS planted tank is born :P and after the cycle was finished I introduced my first 10 RCS and about 10 Malaysian Trumpet Snails. pH is 7.8, KH 5, temperature 26'C. Shrimps are between 1 and 1.5cm long (very young). I am not sure can they breed while they are still small??? They ar...

...I cannot have a very good looking tank if i want to have shrimp...its right? bye!!1 Of course you can have a nicely aquascaped tank and shrimp in it. The fertilisation is necessary (IMO) only if you grow too many fast growing plants. Low light low tech planted tanks do not necessary need CO2 and...

It looks like it is the Procambarus fallax http://www.wirbellose.de/arten.cgi?action=show&artNo=111 This is the same one from the same Pet shop that is approx 5 cm long at the moment. There are two smaller ones that are redish in color. Would you know which one is the female? My guess is that th...

Procambarus spp. Marble UPDATE :-)

Is it possible that this crayfish is the Cambarellus spec. "jaripo" shown in here http://www.wirbellose.de/arten.cgi?action=show&artNo=098 , it looks like the one in the first photo, but not the second. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid210/pfe837286426b2c7dfccd3da18ed18e41/ee01...

:D This is starting to be interesting :D , First to answer badflash; Sorry you took offence. None was intended. Here are the plain facts though. Use ferts and over time the shrimp will die. You need to chose between what you think your plants need, and what experience shows happens to shrimp when yo...

Dusko Think about this. Where do wild plant get their ferts? In nature it is a natural balance between the animals and plants. I use dayligh fluorescent bulbs on about 12 hours a day. That puts 4 40 watt bulbs over as much of the aquarium as will go over the tank. If you want to keep shrimp for a l...

Thanks for comments :D , I am happy if my Aquarium Poetry can help you. As I stated in another thread, there are so many old sites that desperately need UPDATE because like I use to, lots of others follow those old methods that don't really work. The same is with keeping algae under the control and ...

You should stop using it. Your plants don't need it. Light and shrimp waste are all I use and my plants are green and lush. Plant ferts build up to toxic levels over time. Eventually the shrimp will start to die and you won't be able to figure out why. Hi badflash, since I am very much into planted...
