    Louie, shoot me a pm and we'll talk.

    Shrimp can also die from stress, and just because fish are small doesn't mean they can't stress them or eat eyes, legs, antennae, shrimplets, etc. In my opinion, the only shrimp safe fish are ottos. However you are welcome to try, of course.

    I saw a variation of it I really like and they use a 90* PVC angle for the outlit. To avoid excess humidity I want frozen water in bottles. At least it works in theory so far.
  4. Soothing Shrimp
    That looks good too.

    Don't get too attached to the shrimp in that tank. heh

    Hey guys, I think Stef is getting hooked on shrimp. LOL
  7. Soothing Shrimp
    We be funny.

    1 gram= .03527396195 ounces so 50 grams x .03527396195 = 1.76 ounces 120 grams x .03527396195 = 4.23 ounces = roughly 1/4 lb

    As for me, personally I like Stef's art interpretations of shrimp. Very few people do it. In fact, I have an ornament of hers hanging in my shrimp room now.

    Shrimp don't really lose muchcolor as they get older. They *do* lose some in tissue color, but not clear like that. BV= Blue Velvet. They start out looking like a red rili, but as the body tissue starts turning blue, the red pigment on the shell fades away leaving only the blue showing by juvie age usually.

    I'm going to set up this one this summer: I'm serious. Any air conditioner pops my circuit and my room gets hot just like yours. Worth a try.

    If you use double sponge filters, clean one sponge one week, and wait for another couple weeks to do the other. It's a Shrimper 101 error to squeeze both TOO clean, and at the same time. The bacteria can't multiply fast enough and you wind up with dead shrimp...Did it more than once when first learning. UGH!

    I don't use Purigen, so I can't tell ya how good recharging is either. LOL

    Were we talking? I was excising my fingers on this this springy thing in front of me with letters....

    LOL That's okay juancho. Different strokes for different folks. Not everyone is going to like everything.

    She *may* have a BV-like mutation that causes her to lose her color in sections later in life. That would mean you would have to keep the offspring until they were adults or near adults to see if any lessening of color is noticeable.

    Lots of people from Hawaii will try to get people who don't know better to sell/ship shrimp to them. Not worth the jail time, IMHO. Does anyone know if Alaska is okay?

    "Type of Neo Shrimp... will most of these breed true or will they need active culling to prevent them from turning back to brown?" Trick question without it meaning to be. Colors have a tendency to go back to lower grades unless culling- BUT in general will stay the color. IF a wild is thrown, the genetics almost always take over and when it mates to others, more wilds will be thrown. etc.

    If you do have a rili, that is great news! Orange rilis that have been coming into the aquarium trade recently have been very sensitive and people have been having problems keeping them alive. I would highly encourage you to try to breed this into a strain if it is inheritable. We need HARDY morphs.

    I've been looking for years for something green and fuzzy to cover the substrate- all to no avail. I can find terrestrial kinds no problem, but not aquatic. Tried the moss ball carpet trick. Worked okay, but never grew out, just stayed the same.
  22. Soothing Shrimp
    Hmmmm. Are you able to somehow place single layer of purigen sandwiched flat between two stiff sheets of something? Then just slide it into the hob? The Purigen would be used from both sides and none wasted. Also, used purigen can be recharged again. Are you familiar with that?

    +1 Reading everything can be mind boggling and mind numbing. Hands on experience teaches a lot of things, but if you don't remember what you have done you may be repeating it in the future.
  24. Soothing Shrimp
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Doc.

    bee balls release minerals in the water. Opinions differ between shrimpers as to if it is really needed or not.
