In the above discussions of timing, when does breeding occur? Is this when the saddle appears, or when the molt happens and the eggs are transferred? I'm thinking it is the latter. How long from when the eggs appear on the back to the molt? I now have 2 females showing and several males that hang ou...

I have 2 established 5 gallon tanks with under gravel filters & bubblers. The substrate is made of marble chips, and the top is a fine brown quartz gravel. Make-up water is and always has been RO, so tap water is not an issue. I don't have a hardness meter, but I suspect the marble would make it...

My shrimp never have colored up. My pH is about 8.3. I'm lovering it to 7.5 to see if this has any effect. Algae raises pH to up to 11 so feeding them on algae alone is a bit of a stuggle.

I placed orders for Red Cherry shrimp from Petshrimp and AZgardens at the same time. AZgardens wanted $4.59 each for their adult shrimp, Petshrimp was $1.99. I ended up getting 6 from AZgardens and 20 from Petshrimp for just about exactly the same price. AZ charges a LOT for shipping. They ended up ...
