Neocaridina sp. blue are pretty much blue versions of red cherry shrimp. They are frequently available in my area and are just as easy to keep as rcs. The only other blue colored shrimp I know of is Atya gabonensis aka vampire shrimp in which most are blue but some are cream colored... they do get q...

Marisa cornuarietis aka ramshorn snail does infact eat plants.. A lot of plants, so do be careful with their numbers. They could easily overpopulate and destroy all of those plants. They are also diggers.

This shrimp should be kept in community tanks with small, peaceful fish and/or shrimp and sufficient current. This is preferable to a species tank as its tank mates produce the detritus necessary for the microorganisms in the filter to thrive and reproduce. The microorganisms, in turn, are carried ...

What exactly are you going to do with 1000 young adult FW prawns when your done? Sounds like dinner time to me

Yep, read the shrimp varieties pages. Keep species seperate so they don't hybridize.

Two shots of the same shrimp lost in transit, the others all seem healthy and are eating normaly. What a bummer.

Your cherry shrimp would take care of that algae problem in high enough numbers and veeery limited feeding. Get a good population going and reduce feeding, help them with the battle by cutting as much algae out as you can. Then reduce lighting for a week or so. The point is to get the amount of alga...

Stick your brain in a woodchipper and feed them whatever flies out the other end.. it would be cheaper. Feed $3.50 shrimp to $0.50 fish... BRILIANT!

The second photo is breathtaking man, each strand of moss is visable and the old shell is cristal clear.. Very nice!

give him some water flow and a piece of driftwood it looks like he's picking the gravel for food. He should fan the water for food. Nice pickup

I love these little aquatic battletanks.. Nice shots badflash share your tank and water specs please.

Put your lights on a timer, the algae will sustain them and the water quality won't decline very quickly because your not adding nutrients on a daily basis. Don't get an automatic feeder or one of those crappy vacation feeder blocks they will hurt your water quality... It would take a long time to s...

Your shrimp are very interesting especially the bright red eggs.. they are beautiful. Congrats on your success, I hope to raise hrs at some point in the near future. Keep the updates coming!

The poison gas myth is just that.. a myth. I have used standard home depot sand in all of my tanks for years and a 75/25 flourite/sand blend for planted tanks and have never had any reason to believe poison gas could build up and kill your livestock. I have never heard of anyone losing livestock bec...

Thanks everyone for your replies, Badflash, I was under the impression that it would not be possible to use an undergravel filter with sand - is this not the case? :? white play sand on top with platic door screening on top of the filter to kep the play sand from clogging it up.:? It all depends on...
