Thank You
For the information.
I traded RCS for the Amano's. And they are in with the RCS. Ran out of tank Space.
I am trying to add on to the Shrimp Room. So I can Have bigger Tanks, More Tanks, and so on.
But, I cannot put, a swimming pool in the basement, Like someone I know.

I will have to Check the water paramiters.
Are Amano's more sensitive than Cherries ?

For breeding, maybe, but not for survival of adults. Amanos are really tough. I just know that phosphates are real bad when it come to breeding. This stuff often comes in with your tap water, especially if you are in a farming area.

A pool just takes room. Get rid of the washer & dryer and use the laundramat. Bring a book and read up on shrimp, or write one as I don't think there ARE any books on shrimp...

Already have plans to move the Washer/Dryer. to a room upstairs.

I am selling my 1946 dodge truck Hotrod Project, to help Fund the project.
I just need the time to do It all.

There is alot of down time here in Michigan in the winter. I will hit it hard this winter.

The last 3 are of my 125gal, I converted from a fish tank, to a total Invert Tank.

That is the pro-to-type.
I have alot more ideas, after seeing other fish rooms in my area.

I hope to increase it in size.

Then comes the problem of moisture.
Then I will have to get a ehaust vent.
Then the heat bill goes up.
Will it ever end ?
