I have a couple japonica (2 females among 4 males) coming up with eggs in the tank I keep my A. gabonensis in now. So I'll probably try my hand at it in a few weeks.

Where'd you get that food from? I'd love to have a look at what it ends up hatching.

A cloak huh? :D I guess I see what you mean. It actually looks like a mask now that you mention it, with the mouth exposed ... Like Batman! Well, anyway... my larvae didn't turn out so great. I couldn't seem to push them past the last two stages. They've been larvae for way too long, and the longer ...

I'm not genetics/breeding expert myself, but you can see in guppies for example that long fins and colorful bodies are only really necessary in fancy guppy males for the offspring males to also have the traits. Fancy guppy females generally look just like wild guppy females except with more color in...

It just recently came to my attention the real reason why they're called "vampire shrimp" ... of course, it's because of those claws/talons on their first pair of walking legs. They resemble fangs. (I still don't like the name though :p) I still wonder if this is truly just a male trait or...

Hi GB, I would think their sizes won't differ much in the end either. Are they becoming similar in color? It was the smaller one that was super red, right? So the larger one is deepening? Mustafa uses a pic on his aquabid auctions with an extremely red female like yours. http://www.petshrimp.com/fil...

I don't have first hand experience with these larvae, but no separation from the adults is necessary, and may be harmful to them. There should not be any strong aeration that could harm them though. I'm not convinced that these larvae don't eat at all throughout their larval life, but I would sugges...

That is a good lookin' shrimp. Cool looking rostrum, beautiful oval eyes and body color patterns. Keder, you're afraid of your little cherries?? :-) Well, I guess I can't judge... I find Amanos kind of creepy to handle (not that I make a habit of handling my shrimp) because they're so crawly. Occasi...

Oh, I thought perhaps maybe you had an aged berried female still wandering around and she recently had her eggs hatch.

Have you reared the rednose shrimp larvae?

Great additions. You're right, everybody's going to want those snowball shrimp. Especially now that the market is saturated with cherry sellers. Nice to see you've got H. rubra larvae. I take it you have a batch currently live and developing? Your last two links both go to the whitebanded shrimp pag...

That is true about my location. I recall not long ago reading the instructions for that Python gravel syphon water changer thing, and was taken aback when it suggested using the hot water tap to send in the correct temperature water when doing water changes. Of course correct temperature is good, bu...

I don't think they would catch live brine shrimp, but I'm quite sure they'll eat frozen and frozen blood worms. But, just keep feeding them the same stuff you have been and they should be fine. They shouldn't need increased feeding either.

From what I have been tolled. It is by using hot water is how we get Copper into the aquarium. By using cold water it does not a tracked the Copper ions. Yeah.. why would we use anything other than cold water anyway? :D What I was puzzled by was how a heavy metal like copper would leave water that ...

What a difference a week makes

My lighting must not be the right kind of fluorescent. I don't get bright green aglae like you all.

Just wondering.. anybody know in what mode copper leaves the water by letting it sit? How does that happen?
