Soothing Shrimp

I know there are a lot of people whom I respect that are buce collectors, but I'm afraid it would all be lost on me Han. I just don't get the love affair with it. heh

Jeeeesh that's scary. I'm guessing a canister is involved to remove the nasties almost immediately? I can't imagine only a sponge in that case.

We're very glad to have you here, Stu! Our forum started about a year ago, and as you can see it has become very popular. If you'd like to be a sponsor, all we ask is for a give away once a month of something. It doesn't have to be something expensive, and it draws attention to you and your business. As members of a young forum, we feel this works better in everyone's favor for now. Here's the section for sponsors here: http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/forum/21-sponsors/ There's also the market section that is free to sell from and buy from atm, and you may be interested in as well. http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/forum/6-the-marketplace/ Again, welcome!

LOL More power to ya guys.

Nice tank and nice buce. Welcome!

gh- one feel oily while the other feels watery?

IMO, if you want to get rid of algae, add a nerite or two.

I *think* if you put purigen in a stocking behind your bubbler, it will slowly remove the color.

Holy !!!! That's insane!

Says video is private and I can't see it.

Darn! I can only LIKE this once! LOL

I forget, do you use co2 or ferts in your tank? IMO, water changes too often may stop them from breeding, however it won't kill them provided you keep parameters correct You'll receive different answers from different folks, and that's what makes shrimping interesting. When I kept my cherries too low in gh, I found dying off, but when I raised it to 6+ they did well. Purple can be caused by too much co2, old age, blue tissue under the shell, astaxanthin, death, and a variety of other issues. Unless a majority of your shrimp were turning purplish, I wouldn't consider that a symptom. As an emergency measure, have you considered adding a cup of ammocarb inside a tied off stocking and placing it behind your bubbler?

I have to say Han, you know your stuff! Most of them look the same to me. LOL

For the shrimp game, how many shrimp of a gender can be caught in a given period of time.

Look at your live shrimp. Do they have broken antennae? Do they look paper white inside? That is how to tell bacterial.

I like the alpha shrimp too, but they get to cherry sized in eh same conditions as ulas. Perhaps one day, however I'm too impatient to wait long. LOL

Which is strange because Ebay promotes USPS, and visa versa.

That totally makes sense. It would act as a hydroponic filter. Any idea what those containers are called or how to get some?

Same with shrimp if they catch it.

Heh, you know what they say. The ignorant get things done because they don't know they can't do it. LOL

Ppor widdle snakie wakies

Maybe go back to the older version?

What incredibly beautiful shrimp. I have to admit that I really really love the Heptacarpus brevirostris though. Any reports back of successful captive breedings?

I have read both. Some say they do, some say they don't. At the least, they are opportunistic like all shrimp and will take care of dead carcasses. Feel free to share the prices.
