No. Do you have a cover on your filter? Or a place where they could be hiding. Every week I clean out my canister filter... rather I I sift it to retrieve at least ten hatchling-juveniles. I really need to get a cover as this is obnoxious. But my guess would be that they are living in your filter. E...

gotcha. I actually have about 3 or 4 that I kept as pets in my 75 gal with my cherries and amanos. And they are actually among the most entertaining inhabitants in the tank. They have even gotten some seriously cool designs and even some green to them. They like to crawl on my arm when I am tooling ...

ps
Mustafa,

This link may help you out;)

hahaha... I thought you were talking to me. (cause.... well Im a chris;) ) and I was very confused by your response. Chris, I can guarantee you that if your ghost shrimp was eating a live one. That it was on its way out the door anyway. Ghost shrimp lack the power and capabilites to pin down another...

Ghost shrimp have a tendency to die quickly in tanks. I believe Mustafa states in his care sheet that many are not true fresh water shrimp and describes that as the reason. Like most any scavenger ghost shrimp will eat their deceased comrades. On the subject of them dieing in tanks quickly I have fo...

I only keep amanos and cherries in my 75 gal planted. But I have noticed that the two species enjoy hanging out and scavenging from diff plants. My N.Deniculatas love java moss(big clump hidden in back corner for them to breed in.) and java fern (narrow leaf and regular) and my M.Quadrifolia where m...

Those "ghost shrimp" should not be that cheap. They are some of the most interesting shrimp around! In Europe they would pay several dollars for each if they could get them. The reason why Tiger, Bee, Bumblebee shrimp etc. are so cheap in Hong Kong is because they are from that region. No...

Is that glosso or marsilea in the pic? My carpet is M.Quadrifolia and it makes a beautiful spread. And a great place for all my N.Deniculata hatchlings to hide. Water changes can be a pain as I am always having to shut the python off to get babies out... but I guess with out it I probobly wouldnt ha...

Several times now with success every time I use water from a long time established tank when setting up new tanks and have avoided teh cycle all together. I did this most recently in my 90 gallon that had sensitive fish such as elephant nose and rams added on the first day. It has been running for 4...

Starring me. Really it comes down to the fact that you shouldnt toy with nature. Its design is in place for a reason and just because we are curious as to see what mutations we can make is not a good reason to mess with it. You can not know what effects the cross breeding will have. Sterile eggs per...

Breeding of different species together is frowned upon in any "animal hobby" fish, tarantulas, herps... etc. If you do it or allow it and keep them to your self in your private tanks than that is one thing. But if you give them away to friends or to pet stores or sell them to anyone else o...

Hmmm... quite possibly. I saw that on here. But I am not entirely convinced that that is it because my green is more dull... Maybe I will ask my lfs to order them again and see if they can get the Scientific name... but I doubt it since most suppliers dont keep them accurate... If this is the specie...

Sorry I dont have a pic but I will try to describe it. My lfs had three for 2.99 each so I decided to scoop them up. They had them marked as "green algae eating shrimp" They are the same size and shape as N.deniculata and appear to be a Neo. But have a light green color and thick(relativle...
