I smuggled a Turtle once from POLAND too. I put it in the camera case and wore it around my neck.

You can always send them to yourself though the post office via Express Mail if you are a coward smuggling them.

E-mails I received:

Most algae discs are less than 10% algae. I don't really know why they named them "algae discs" but most of the ingredients are meats/fish etc.

Wow, awesome pics. How many parents does it take to produce that many babies all at once?

What do you guys think is the optimal gH for shrimp?

My tap water shoots out gh of 8. Should I bring it higher?

Here are the numbers....do they look OK? I don't think my tank is fully cycled yet....? This is solely a shrimp tank so no ferts are added.


Each test was done three times to eliminate error and the final value is the average:

GH (tank) – 12, 12, 12 = 12
pH – 7.2, 7.2, 7.2 = 7.2
Ammonia –.25, .5 ...

Received a few Snowball shrimp as a gift and one died today...it had a red stripe going across the back (looked like blood or something). I had these shrimp for about 5 days. Anything I should be concerned about or was it just a random casualty?

These shrimp were sent to me by a friend from ...
