    I'm trying to research it on the net, but coming up empty handed. Do you have links to info you have found?
  2. Soothing Shrimp
    I'm still at a loss. Maphly didn't have a problem with it, neither did orhunterfisher. Both have TBs.
  3. Soothing Shrimp
    I don't know much about rabbit snails, but is that the Operculum?
  4. Soothing Shrimp
    My low water pressure causes slow fill and some tds.

    Welcome! I have 4 high functioning autistic kids in this family, so I know some of the emotionally challenges first hand. I think its great you and he will be working together! I do shrimp, and have recently been starting with crays as well. And yes. Marbles can be eaten, though not a lot of meat on them. Again, welcome!
  6. Soothing Shrimp
    Glad you found your answer.

    I'm about to undergo a new project and I need to get some shrimp from a red rili strain with the absolutely CLEAREST body tissue. I've looked around and received RR, but almost all throw or display some degree of blue tissue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  8. Soothing Shrimp
    I know that feeling.
  9. Soothing Shrimp
    Perhaps we should start a microcrab research project thread here that people could join and share their findings?

    May be that your gh is too high.
  11. Soothing Shrimp
    LOL I know. That's where I got this one. I guess I'm asking if anyone has them as pets.
  12. Soothing Shrimp
    Nice set up Deta!
  13. Soothing Shrimp
    I do, and man am I getting into them now. I just have one wild, but I get to play with genetics again.
  14. Soothing Shrimp
    I've ready very few accounts of successful breedings. Would you please pm me this person's contact info, do I may inquire more?
  15. Soothing Shrimp
    Fabio and Deta hit the nail on the head. Trying to molt will look exactly like this. Death will occur if it is too hard to get out of the molt and gh is not correct.
  16. Soothing Shrimp
    OKay. I'm officially amazed so far, Mayphly.
  17. Soothing Shrimp
    I'd love any knowledge you've picked up countryboy.
  18. Soothing Shrimp
    LOL You have more faith in me than I have, my friend. Still, it may be worth a try.
  19. Soothing Shrimp
    I'm very seriously looking at buying a bunch to see if I can unlock the breeding code.
  20. Soothing Shrimp
    Looks like eggs to me as well.

    Yepper. The nice thing about a forum is that you get a variety of opinions, however we all agree that you need to get your cycle going.
  22. Soothing Shrimp
    Nope. But you need the bacteria in the tank, too.
  23. Soothing Shrimp
    Mulm is one of the things you tend to live with for long periods of time in a shrimp tank. No, my sponge does not take mulm out.
  24. Soothing Shrimp
    Substrate adds additional area for beneficial bacteria to grow on. As far as filters, the carbon is not needed except to remove meds. The sponge is important to grow more bacteria on, and if desired mechanical filtration. Some people even take their HOBs and empty it so they can put in ceramic media. Really, the biggest thing you want is the bacteria. Sucking up mulm can create small Nitrite spikes which can hurt your shrimp. Just leave it lay for now. Many people (myself included) just do air driven sponge filters. Cheap, and effective.

    Hikari supplied info on shrimp blood awhile back. Here's their answer: "...we (humans) have red blood cells which contain hemoglobin. Hemoglobin contains iron metal (Fe), and this iron actually absorbs oxygen at large and delivers this oxygen to every part of body and organs. However, in the case of Shrimp, they have Hemocyanin in their blood cells, with copper metal. They use copper to deliver oxygen to their vital organs and circulatory system. That is why their blood is clear or green color rather than red color like ours (humans)."
