    SS 8.5 doesn't dissolve well. I've heard even with co2 you will still end up with undissolved minerals in your tank. I was heating mine up as directed. With SK minerals it's smooth sailing.

    When my group of banded sulawesi's arrived there was two berried females. I just found babies walking around and I have an additional six berried females. Things are looking good.

    Just received my batch and they look much better in person. I will continue this line and hopefully have some for sale in the next 6-8 months.

    For remineralizer you might want to consider Dennerle's shrimp King Sulawesi Salt.

    After a delay in customs my order finally arrived. I used Mayphlys directions and got the same results. R/O water at 0 TDS my params were 180 TDS, KH 4, GH 7 and  PH around 7.7. I think Dennerle's remin is a "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner !"

    If Flipaquatics still has them for $9.95 and 12.95 you should take advantage unless those sizes will not work for you. You might get it cheaper but like OEM said, you will have to buy in bulk.

    Thank you, everyone!
     
    Interesting... Soothing, you are right: lots of opinions!
     
    I transfered mine when they were about 3 weeks berried. I acclimated them even though now I have pretty much same conditions in almost every shrimp tank. They're doing fine and about week later released the babies. Now I'm waiting for the females start breeding again...

    Ok, I’m man enough to admit it…

    After a lifetime in the fish world, there are still some things that I’m flat-out afraid to do. Stuff that scares the daylights out of me. Some of these are challenging to almost anyone- others are seemingly mundane, yet have hidden difficulties that can sink your whole project…yeah.

    Here’s a list you can build on, I’m sure…So, in no particular order, here is my list of the top 7 aquarium-related things that scare the @#$%& out of me: (click to read more)

    Vpier reacted to plamski in For sale Fisident Fontanus and Mini Christmas moss   
    It is again trimming time. I’d like to clean some of the moss in shrimps tanks before breeding season starts. Yes that is correct, somehow my breeding season is winter time.
    Since the moss is coming from shrimps tanks no frets have been used. !00% algae free.
    Only “bad “ thing is Malaysian Trumpet Snails .There are a lot of babies in it.You might get some new born No entry WR, Black pintos or Red Ruby WRs 
    In my experience those snails are the best for leftover food control and substrate cleaning and aeration.
    For sale:
    1 Mat of   Fisident Fontanus  10”x3”  in size  price $70 shipped
    2. Mat of   Fisident Fontanus  12”x4.5”  in size  price $95 shipped
    3. Mat of   Fisident Fontanus  10”x.3.5”  in size  price $70 shipped
    4. Mini Christmas moss tennis ball size $5     Probably 5 gal bucket size is available
    Shipping for Mini Christmas moss $6   
    I’ll ship it in small USPS priority box

    Arks prices for Cardinals are very reasonable and will be making a purchase next week for some. I also purchased some OEBT's from Ark and he also sent me 4 types of plants and 5 extras.

    I don't recommend this to everyone, like I said I keep everything the same down to identical plants, wood, leaves and so on. When I do water changes I dont drip because I match the water. Shrimp can be touchy but I think some people make them out to be more delicate than they are. Shrimp are adaptable. Consistency is the key. You read some posts and people make shrimp keeping sound like its a lab experiment that has to be done in a contamination free environment in outer space. LOL
