Mustafa forgive me, but I simply cannot plagiarize so I am including a link to information for others who, like myself, want to provide the most spectacular life for their Opae Ula. I have been researching and found places with plants growing in brackish waters here in the U.S. mainland. Testing the...

Definitely an interesting find. Thanks for sharing. It seems interesting.

If you can find crushed coral, check the home decor center at your Wal-mart, then I would highly suggest boiling it for 5 minutes by adding it to the cold water and letting it heat normally as you stir it occasionally. Let it cool and dry on paper towels for a full day. Coral seems to be the best su...

As I don't foresee the plants as being a danger to the shrimp. They are so small, they really only eat algae that grows in their tanks.

It really depends on the size of your tank. You should do some homework to find out about brackish plants and their growth rate/height BEFORE deciding what to get. Some things to get you started: Samolus valerandi ihas a very high tolerance of brackish water, up to 30 ppt, around SG 1.020, but it is...

It looks good. On reviewing your tank in the photos, I think you may be ready, but it is up to you. You know better than I do how many shrimp you will be getting. Your tank definitely looks nice.

I totally understand what you are saying. I suffer depression, so I have to focus and stay on track. It has really made things a lot better and easier for me.

Have you ever gotten around to a separate Mutations tank? The X-men and I would like to know...

Could you give us an update? I am fascinated and curious. Thanks.

Love to get an update...

After a little research I wanted to ask what is the specific salinity of your tanks. Is it possible you have a brackish tolerant Cladophora aegagropila? It may just be entirely possible. If so, I would love to hear more about this. I would like to have a broken sample to test in one of my own tank, ...

If you have a sample available you could always test it with water in a spare container...

In the wild, M. lohena is found in the same pools as the Supershrimp. There is no need to make any changes, but I ask that you try to rescue it from someone local who accidentally ended up with one instead of go for a seller who targets them from the pools in the natuaral Hawaiian environment.

I can tell you the Hermit Crabs are semi aggressive, especially towards snails that have the shell they want, and unless you are running a filtered tank, which I would not suggest for Supershrimp (Halocaridina rubra), then it is also a no on the hermit crabs. There seems to be a big want to mix anim...

Don't you need a few "Testers" to help make sure they are going to work in personal tanks with different parameters than your own?
