  1. US has all kinds of import and export regulations. I know we have some people from the UK here on the forum though. Anyone remember which members?
  2. Some strains are just smaller as well. My strain of BV I received years ago that I bred my DBV from are smaller than all other strains of neos I have. I haven't noticed any due to addition of shrimp though.
  3. If you want he orange to spit out orange and the red to spit out red, no. They are both forms of the cherry shrimp and will interbreed. Recommended ph is 7+
  4. Jaden is right. LOL It's just a matter of preference.
  5. Sounds like the coloration issue could be caused by stress...
  6. One of my new yellows is now berried. And thus begins a new colony to selectively breed.
  7. Problem I had with neos is that sometimes they would get stuck and die in it. I think it caused some problems also in the O2 levels.
  8. Malaya and Neos can't crossbreed. Besides, Malaya is a low order shrimp.
  9. That's just hair algae type. Unwanted in my neo tanks, but wanted I guess in cardinal tanks?
  10. Welcome! You won't like the answer so much, but start to read posts here and you'll have a pretty good idea what's going on. Have an idea what kind of shrimp you are interested in yet, or are you still exploring your options? It's a big world out here. heh
  11. water with no TDS/gh RO or Distilled. I think most of us use RO.
  12. Ultimately, when you get to your desired gh, you want to take out and add the same amount each water change (ie. 10%-20%) have the same gh in your new water to match your tank water's gh Add pure only when topping off what evaporated because the gh and minerals are left behind.
  13. No. You are trying to take out the gh, so pure has 0 and will dilute what you have left after a water change- thus lowering gh.
  14. Feel free to upload it here. Just hit "more reply options" under the reply window and select from your computer.
  15. Anyone have any green jades? I think these have disappeared off many seller sites due to people's dissatisfaction of the extremely low ratio of breeding true. (?) Anyone?
  16. This forum is a huge advantage. When I first started I knew of none.
  17. Doesn't work with mine. She wants no part of it.
  18. Yepper shrimpy. Looking for strains to add to my racks in trade for my neos I have listed.
  19. Schafer, interesting idea. Do you have a pic of your tool?
  20. Baby steps are good! Besides... falling on your face is still moving forward!
