I really could not imagine the amount of work it would take to keep this tank looking nice with CO2 and ferts. Already, I have to spend a fair amount of time pruning and pulling. I was told months ago that I would have algae blooms without CO2 and that my tank would fall apart. This turned out to be...

These shrimp have been readily available in my area for awhile now. They cost $2.50 each, not a really bad price. Of the ones that I have seen they appear to be in very good health. I used to work at the store that carries them and they have reported fewer losses per capita than amano shrimp. I have...

The simple act of buying the ecospheres support those who make them. I would love some rubras, but will not be buying any of the ecospheres.

ok, sorry for links and what about this Babaulti "Blue"??? in my store they say that also called Caridina sp. rainbow shrimp but that is again a mistake right? Now i dont have any idea what kind of a shrimp i will have :( then my pacake of my rainbow shrimps can be Indian Dwarf Shrimp,Ind...

After doing more research on them, I have decided not to buy any of them. Many people have reported losses with them. There are some for sale on an auction house right now and I asked the seller whether they were tank raised or imported. He or she said that they were tank raised. They appear to be t...

Excellent thanks for letting me know. My LFS has eight of these shrimp one is, I believe, a male. His coloration is more of a pale yellow, whereas the others are a very nice orange. Several of them are saddled.

Digging up an old post. I was wondering if anyone has nailed down whether or not these larvae need saltwater. I have recently seen these for sale in town.

A true breeding strain of RCS should have Yellow eggs. I have never seen White Eggs that have hatched. If you have this many different colored eggs, I would have to say that your RCS are not a true breeding RCS. They may have been house with another Neocaridina species. John It is possible. It woul...

Me too. I have females that have light green eggs, some have a darker green, and some have white eggs. I have never seen one of my shrimp have eggs that were two different colors. The female in question is one of my females that was born in this tank.

I have a newly berried cherry that has three green eggs and four white eggs. Has anyone noticed this before with their cherries? I have not seen this before it looks really cool. I have tried to get some photos, but no luck so far.

I used to fertilise. My cherries did not breed well, it was only the first month though. I also lost some, but this could have been due to the stress of moving. I keep Madagascar Lace plants in my set up and even without ferts and CO2 they are doing very well. My glosso does not do well without fert...

Very awesome setup badflash!

It has been official for a few days now, the shrimp in question is dead. I found him hiding in the Rotala. Whatever it is that he had does not seem to be affecting the cherries.

I do not know why it is displaying so small. It is only 50kb smaller than what is allowed when using the attachment function. I am a little disappointed that it is so small. I think the original one that I posted was 600 pixels wide at 72ppi. I know what I did. I scaled it down without decreasing t...
