Soothing Shrimp

Yepper. It's a hit in all my tanks. The cards especially. I just leave anything uneaten in and they come back and forth to it as needed.

We all have to help each other, my friend.

BTW, it's okay to list prices in threads here thus far.

"Wild Grass" "Joyo Bright Star" "Green Spike" "Hadi Red Pearl" And finally some that have yet to be named Photos from http://shrimpscape.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=2818 General care here: http://aquaticaquariumplants.blogspot.com/2012/01/echinodorus-opacus.html Most threads say you split the rhizomes.

Look out buce lovers. Here are some nice plants to collect! Here's some more varieties: "Quadricolor" "Dragon Red" "Joyo Red Star" "Arjuna" "Fancy Curl"

They come in some great oranges and blues, too. But everything I find on them say "they'll breed in a bucket." Which actually isn't much help since they say teh same about shrimp and as we all know, shrimp have preferred params.

It may be something in the water. My tap here is supposedly fine. Used it for my guppies and they developed fin rot. Went back to remin ro and they got better. Unfortunately, we can't test for everything in the water. Now I just use RO for everything.

I love the look of the cray, too. I just hear they can be mean.

Yeah, I use the paypal too.

Coolish.

Each cell is capable of regenerating into a new one. That's why squishing doesn't work.

Your DIY tank looks great!

Great to hear.

Yepper. The current generation looks pretty good: http://www.shrimpspot.com/index.php?/topic/111-soothing-shrimps-silly-shrimping/page-5#entry7534 I'm continuing to breed darker, but these that are being sold are from this line! I'd love to see your BP line.

They look like tiny anemone. Here's a pic, and an explanation that they are- quite literally- immortal. http://www.zmescience.com/medicine/genetic/foxo-gene-longevity-immortal-hydra-research-042343/#!07S90

Came across something interesting. Someone managed to cross a paracard and card in 2011. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crustahunter.com%2Fkreuzungsversuche-die-erste-paracaridina-x-caridina%2F&edit-text=&act=url

Are you using tap or RO?

I just received my LED strip today, and although it seems too dim for me for a tenner, it lights a 2.5 well enough for me when directly on or very near the glass lid. Ought to be great for my killie project.

I didn't know you were a "little person" Speedie.

Postal service clerks are the people who sell money orders, stamps, envelopes, and other mailing-related products, along with calculating postage and answering postal questions, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Bleak Outlook Factor: As automated bill pay and email use increases, the subsequent decline in first-class mail volume will adversely affect employment, says the Department of Labor. Eric Miranda, a career counselor at CollegeAdmissionsReview.com, agrees. "The volume of mail going through the postal system has decreased over the years with the increased use of email," says Miranda, "That's not going to change. More people are emailing documents - and mailing letters less." This may be why employment of postal service clerks is projected to decline 32 percent from 2012 to 2022, representing a loss of 139,000 jobs.* * Job growth and projected new job numbers are from the U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2014-2015 edition.

Lexinverts had blue bees.

Mine weren't. And I used it on my Nessie strain that no one else has in the world. Even if one or two had of died, it still would have been worth it to me to get rid of those buggers.

You can tell planaria by a triangle head with crossed eyes. They are meat eaters and will attack your shrimp somehow. Seems weird since they move so slow, but I've seen it firsthand. !@!#@##^# Thankfully, you can get rid of them by using fenbendazole. The best I've found is the name "fish benzadole." It is sold in 250 mg packets. For a tenner, divide it in half and crush it. Add to water OUTSIDE of tank, stir it up, and then pour in tank. Shut off light for the first day because light degrades it. 3 days later dose again if needed. Then wc. Works like a charm. For only hydra, divide 1 more time in half and do the same thing. Works great. (~.1g for planaria, ~.05 for hydra per tenner) Oh, remove any Nerites, maybe Mystery snails too to be on the safe side. Nerites will die from the dose.

Well, since I'm a selective breeder, I am tenacious about not using anything to affect color. Natural is what I need to make sure I'm selecting actual coloration and not enhanced. I stay away from Astaxanthin for this reason. It affects the coloration of tissue in neos. Some people say is does not affect cards, I don't know. Is Chlorella algae the same as Astax? --- Poopians- I tried Ken's veggie sticks. I honestly think that's where my problem with hydra and planeria came from, but of course I have no proof other than I never had a problem with them before. Just that time period I was using Ken's sticks. Occasionally now I'll have hydra. A couple times a year maybe? Comes in from introduced things? I don't know, but it's easy to get rid of. Thank GOD I haven't had planeria since that one episode of Ken's sticks. I now have a whole bag of Ken's sticks, I'm not doing anything with. Maybe I'll use it in my fish tanks for ramshorns since the fish will eat anything.
