Hello all, hope your shrimp are doing well! When last I wrote I was in the process of setting up my 10 gallon cherry red shrimp tank. I purchased approximately 13 mixed age (mostly juvenile) cherry reds about a month ago. As of yesterday, I was able to count four new additions, and assume that there...

Very nice pics......what sort of camera if I may ask?

Thanks for sharing!

I'm not qualified to voice an opinion on the rights or wrongs of the op's intent. FWIW I've seen a few threads that contained people voicing concerns with particular places of business...I think the problem arises when we start essentially advertising for other sellers/businesses on Mustafa's own si...

The local petsmart here in Destin has them as well. It was boderline funny to read the card with the max size of 1" and look in the tank at 3" specimens. It is a shame that the chains are so clueless....it really hurts the popularity of the hobby along with the animals themselves. It alway...

yucca, I'm just about to go get some magnolia leaves out of my backyard to soak a bit....let me know how your experiment goes! I think I'm going to lay a few over a normal substrate to see what happens when I start my shrimp only tank next month. Like you, I'm also looking forward to giving adult re...

Dumb follow-up: I'm used to having chemical filtration as a part of the process and the sponge filters setup seems to p...

I saw in Mustafa's intro article that sponge filters are recommended for shrimp.....Has anyone had experience with http://www.ultimatesponge.com ? I ran across an auction on aquabid and it looks impressive..... I've never had a sponge filter in my experience...I'm a Fluval guy I guess and I thought ...

Thanks for the encouragement! Look for some pics of the new tank in a few weeks...

I'd just like to pass along my thanks to all those that contribute to this forum. I've been a FW aquarium enthusiast for a good while now, and am just beginning to get interested in invertebrates (the article in TFH was like throwing fuel on a fire). I've gleaned quite a lot of information both from...

I'd think the earlier poster is correct.....I'm in northwest FL and magnolias seem to be located near water quite frequently. Please update on your success with these as I think they'd be relatively appealing visually because of their shape.
