Yepper. I used to breed ramshorns for fun.
yellow shell/red foot = red ramshorn
yellow shell/brown foot = brown ramshorn
clear/red foot/pink foot= Pink Ramshorn
clear shell/brown foot= "blue" ramshorn.
All these can have leopard spots as well.
Clear shells turn whitish with build up of calcium as they get older.
I guess it depends on what personal feelings are with an individual animal.
For some, how much an animal costs correlates with how well they treat an animal. For others, it depends on what type of emotional bond they have with it.
Powder for me is by far more economical. I'm just getting tired of all the testing and dissolving.
What do you think of Fluval? I'm currently using this for my C grade crs tank and it has been doing very well.
How soft does the water get? I use UP sand, and it has no leeching either and shrimp can be added that day. However I've been having ph in the 5's, whereas I'd like it in the 6's.
British, the Amie Shrimp are what I'm aspiring my Sapphires to look like. His are further along though. If I could get my hands on some of those, and they bred true, I'd drop my Sapphire line for those. My rule of thumb is "why reinvent the wheel?"
