  1. My personal preference is SS powder since it is more cost effective for me, easier for me to measure and I'm most comfortable with it since I've been using it for years. It all comes down to what you are comfortable with. If you like liquid go with liquid. If you like powder go with powder.
  2. After looking on my computer at home, this looks more like spongicola to me.
  3. Nadia had her Mock Meet yesterday eve. Basically the first "meet" of the season to get back into the swing of competing again in front of real judges. It's nice necause although there are no medals, she has a base of reference for herself this level. Level 3 is harder than L2, but she's doing her best. Her scores from this "meet" : Vault 8.1 bars 8.35 beam 8.05 Floor 7.55 AA 32.05 So as said, now we know what we're starting at for her. Next meet (real) is at the end of Oct.
  4. I have some Malaysian Trumpet Snails for sale. Their main use is to stir up the soil so gas pockets don't happen and oxygen/nourishment is available for plants. 6.5ph and up is recommended. I keep mine in cherry params. Just like shrimp, please drip acclimate. Mine max out around 3/4", although I do have a couple around 1". (30) MTS 1/4" and up plus extras for $10 (60) MTS 1/4" and up plus extras for $15 Plus priority shipping.
  5. In short, if the shrimp had no issues- you should be fine.
  6. Welcome! Think of breeding as a game. The game with crs for quite a while was to have more and more white coverage since the wild type has hardly any. That's also whythose with more white were more expensive. More work, more time selective breeding. I tell anyone going into shrimp, don't worry about what the majority collect. Fads come and go. Instead, make your goal to have shrimp that you are attracted to and enjoy.
  7. A lot depends on if you want amonia or not, and if you want to grow plants in it or not.
  8. Hey folks, a knock off of the Biospon is now available! Instead of $50+, this is $16 w/free shipping! http://www.ebay.com/itm/QANVEE-Bio-Sponge-Filter-for-Shrimp-Fish-Aquarium-BioSpon-like-design-/172361102385?var=&hash=item282185b431:m:meNzZWG2Ahyv6MC7xz95evA
  9. Too thin molt often refers to gh too low, crunchy molt often is gh too high. Stay within params for your shrimp and you'll be okay.
  10. Possibly. Is anyone able to confirm or offer different opinions?
  11. I'm with you. Any idea what kind?
