i ended up switching the lights from the 20L and the 40B. the algae already seems to be doing a lot better and i like the color better, it feels more natural. to me anyway

Re: BABIES
congratulations! i would read a couple others' threads for more information on the babies. i'd suggest tooth's and varanus' (its where i've gotten my courage and information.) the green stuff is good, means food!

Brine Shrimp hatching in the Supershrimp tank?
i have read many write-ups about hatching brine shrimp. they all said you have to have the water movement with aeration. i dont want to take the 2L of water out of the 40B (not that it would cause any issues for the Opae's) to make the hatching setup. could i make the hatching setup and suction cup ...

Re: im so excited!
so much activity lately with the warm temperatures! i saw the most activity ever the other day when the tank hit 80.3F almost every shrimp was scurrying about and their little claws were moving lightning speed picking at every available surface. The Mustafa Method is the only method at this point th...

Re: How much do Opae Ula eat ??
i had bubbles all over my tank also. i never had any issues with them. some even turned into these cool algae bubbles that can only form in saltwater because of surface tension.

Re: Weird White Fuzz
if it becomes a further problem you could possibly try a bleach dip to kill it. i know it works for snail eggs at least. but it should take care of this "fuzz" also.

Re: Ghost shrimp male turned solid color
sorry to hear that i have had a couple in the past that have recovered from this believe it or not, but it took weeks. any kind of additional stress from there seemed to kill it instantly.

Re: im so excited!
Thanks Varanus! I'm thinking to get some kind of light diffuser possibly to help cut it back a little.

Re: im so excited!
Thanks! I have been observing the tank more and more lately, as i've been able to see about 6-14 at any one time now. I seem to have gotten one or two of the "albino" shrimps. but without the red eyes i can't call it albino. i'd call it more of a Snowball variant like the Neocaridina cf. z...

Re: my tanks
I don't know about others but I love them. :) It's also a matter of "if it's easily available and cheap people don't appreciate it." The American glass/shot shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus) is plentiful here in the US (and possibly available in Canada, too). But in Europe and elsewhere the...

Re: Red Fire Shrimp male or female
