The litterbox has been used to take care of 3 kittens, their mother, and another cat (all my aunts cat's because she is living with us) and the cats were in there because the mother was mean to my cats. I moved all the cats out and brough my 2 cats in to the room recently. But the room was closed wi...

grrr. my computer is going nuts and crashing every 5 mins. I had written something with a bt more elegance but I'm gonna try to make this fast before my computer crashes. The only thing I plan on using from the tank was the tank itself and the heater. I even plan on using distilled water for water c...

I think that communication should go as follows.

I have tested my tap water several times before adding it to my tank. The tap water has tested consistently 0 for nitrates. My tap water is always treated with dechlorinator, and I have no plans to stop treating it. In fact i may change to distilled water. I am learning SW and am currently studying ...

Is breeding white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) the same as peppermint shrimp? Because I plan to breed them as a food source for a new tank I'm planning and saw this convenient post on saltwater shrimp here :D . I think that the white shrimp have male/female sexes and can live in groups but for raising ...

After that she will drop eggs if they are not fertilized. I read this in a few different places, so i th...

Time to break out your german-english dictionaries (Which, strangely, I have) and translation sites!

genetic engineering on shrimp? :-D Other people would probly not like that idea, wanting to keep pure strains of shrimp in the market. I would like to say that gloshrimp would be pretty damn cool. Like glofish except shrimp. If they could do it to monkeys they could do it to shrimp. The only proble...

Mustafa's orange shrimp look pretty scary. I hope you can get some more to look like that....If you do It would make a great shrimp during Haloween. Lots O' luck!

I heard of the "brackishwater bamboo shrimp". didn't make it up. Though it is very likely the person who wrote it made it up. I have no Idea where I heard it though. I just remember reading about it on a web page somewhere. sorry :oops: I probably should have realized it was a lie by just ...
