Hey everyone, it has been a long time since I've made a post in here since my deployment to Afghanistan. I have a tank with cherry shrimp and I live in Biloxi, MS. My wife left over a month ago due to Hurricane Katrina and nobody was at home to take care of the shrimp. My supervisor went inside my h...

I got my shrimp yesterday and so far today all are doing well and are still active and exploring.

I just feed them regular flake food every other day and they are good.

I checked the Ph coming straight out of the tap and it is 8.2 also.

I'll get everything today ...
