i know. i'm working on getting a pic. i thought in the mean time i would see if anyone has any ideas. i figured the part about it coming in the same shipments with red claws might have been a clue to someone. either they are collected together in the wild. or at the wholesalers they are housed toget...

hi, i was hoping that someone could help me id a species of crab. i don't have a photo right now, so hopefully a vague description will suffice. it's carapace is a dark bluish-purple, legs are a brownish, and it has bright red movable finger. i cant remember if the unmovable finger is the same, and ...

Badflash, go ahead an forward the manual. I don't know if it is physical or an email, but I talked to him today, and he is interested.

Sorry, I was referring to the "electric blue spider lobster" from the pic at the beginning of the forum.

the LFS here in town actually just brought in a group of 3 Electric Blue Lobsters, and although they do look like the picture posted the color is much more impressive in person, various shades of metallic blue, awsome looking. Ecir Your electric blue "lobsters" are most likely Procambarus...

:shock: Thanks for the link. It does seem to be a color variation of a cherry, or, at the very least, a similar species. Hopefully they will hit the US hobby soon, but I won't hold my breath. The shrimp I would really like to see would be a S grade green crystal shrimp with the same colors as a gree...

I thought the non-red gene was recessive. Non the less, I was just wondering if this could occur in other species, like albinism does. Though, I don't believe albinism occur in invertebrates, so it may be moot anyways.

Hi, I saw a topic with this same subject which was closed, I suppose because the author was inquiring about purchasing, but I would like to know more about them. "yellow" is not very specific when starting a search. I have heard that yellow betas are really red betas that lack the red. Are...

The peat will be mixed with a lower layer of substrate with a top layer above it, so it shouldn't leach into the water too much. It's just to get some carbon in an oxygen poor part of the system so it can be used for the terminal electron accepter instead of oxygen. I forgot to ask about texture. I'...

Sorry, I should not have used the common name only :oops: , especially because some people call it a sand shrimp. I was referring to Macrobrachium cf. mirabile.

Another question I forgot to ask is do they like some salt added to the water? If so how much and would they coexist with bumble bee gobies?

Hi, I work at a pet store and while going through one of the whole-salers stock list I saw pearl shrimp for 1.50 and just had to order some, 10 to be exact. I currently have a six gal with about a 2.5 sump set up for a saltwater mantis. To help with nitrates, I will add some peat to the sumps substr...

Hi, I have a twenty-gallon tank exclusively for shrimp. The bottom tank is lightly covered with a fine sand-like substrate. Plants in the tank include java moss, marimo algae, hornwort, and duckweed. I feed sinking algae tablets every few days. Anyway, it seems that my shrimp sometimes have sticky f...

hi, i plan on getting some gudgeons soon and was hoping to use some ghost as cleaners. also, i would like to house some cherrys in the tank when they reach adult hood. does anyone know if gudgeons are a good mix with shrimp. i am definatly getting goo obo gudgeons but i might also get peacocks in th...

if you put cucumber in the tank, you should get plenty of blue green algae: the kind that smells like soil. i'm not sure if shrimp care for this or not though, otos don't seem to.

try selling on aquabid at least that way you'll get more than $1.
