Burning is too a flavor. In fact it is the BEST flavor.

He had insurance, his license was suspended recently but his policy was still valid. They are paying for everything and the rental. I didn't use mine at all.

Great to have you....beware though the last thing an addict needs is hanging around with more addicts

haha exactly why i'm doing it haha I figure there was quite a few people like that.
i'm like the sample man lol!
 
They are expensive for the boxes

That's such a shame. I would prefer a low grade with a tougher immune system way over a high grade that needs to live in a nearly-sterile, 100% unchanging environment.

I'm proof you don't need a shrimp tank to be here

I put five CBS that were berried in a small one gallon tank while I was working on the new Mr. Aqua 12 gallon tank, and they all had their fry, so I have cbs fry like crazy. It looks like there is a 100 fry easy in the tank. It just has a leaf bottom on bare glass with a sponge and mini canister and a air stone, but the tank is full of fry. The bottom has Indian almond leaf, mulberry leaf, oak leaf, alder cones and small plant and that's it, but they are munching on the leafs like crazy, plus I put in some baby powder. They are growing fast, and only a week old, but there is a ton of them. It is so cool!
See my new post in the journals on the Mr. Aqua 12 gallon setup. I love the clarity of the Mr. Aqua tank. It is crystal clear!

That would be awesome! Keep taking photos and document everything, maybe you'll have a breakthrough in the killifish world too
 
The swim bladder may not have been the only affected organ, though, just the most obvious one. I wouldn't be surprised if they were more susceptible to infections due to a compromised immune system. Underweight neonates often don't make it for a variety of reasons, sadly.

Lol! Best family ever!

LOL  One big disfunctional family.

We are like one big family, I found this forum while browsing the web for dwarf shrimp info, then I saw user names that looks familiar. I said that's it, I am finally home.

I followed Han here, not a shrimper... but I still feel welcome

I had a batch of wilds/cherry culls once. One turned red, one turned brown, and one was purple. It was like Christmas every week seeing what would pop out.

LMAO  I Contacted Will and suggested that he make this forum.

I've killed two or three types of moss using a Finnex Fugeray (I think the "color temperature" on that is 7000K) and also with a "cool white" (2300K). So uh, I beg to differ ... Mosses don't *always* grow under every light! Just most kinds.

Guys? They all look the same to me.

When I last heavily researched shrimp, I saw that most of the people who argued for using iodide supplementation were keeping unknown species of ghost shrimp (likely Palaemonetes but unconfirmed as positive ID was impossible). These people would then say that all shrimp needed iodide supplements to molt properly. Other people who had different shrimp would cite their experiences as proof that no shrimp needed iodide supplementation to molt properly.
I concluded that humans are stupid and that the answer is unknown, although the requirements are most likely species specific.

Mine was telling me not to put plants in without bleaching them first.

Trolls can read?

^-^ Doc, I don't think you need THAT much filtration on one tank!

Here is a small rack I built
 

 

 

 

I just went through a huge algae explosion with one of my 10 ten gallons, and I had to clean it up. Cleaned all the décor with a toothbrush,
vacuumed the substrate, cleaned the glass inside and out, changed about 65% of the water, rinsed the sponges and filters in the aquarium
water and put them back in, and now the tank is back to it's normal, "looks great tank look".    Pain in the butt, but once I was done, I was
happy.
 
Right now, I am starting from scratch with a Mr. Aqua 12 gallon, low iron, tank for my shrimp. It is a really nice tank. I am going with a easy to
clean and maintain setup up. Substrate in holders, dish for leaves, Penn Plax Cascade 500 canister filter, Tom's nano filters, sponges, and
a side HMF. I just finished making a sliding glass top for it, and a hanging light. I am making this tank, so that it will be easy to clean and deal
with. Everything in this tank is setup, so I can get to anything easily, simply, quickly, clean it and put it back. With the substrate in the containers,
and plants in little glass containers, bare bottom floor, with large dishes for food and leaves, the HMF, and sponges so there is still plenty of
biofilm and bacteria. I am hoping, this will put an end to things like worms, planaria, hydra, and the constant cleaning and dealing with the
tank. Obviously, I will have to do some, but I am trying to set this up, so everything is easier, quicker, with the ability to deal with bad things
much better and easier, but still have a great environment for the shrimp.  
 
That's the plan, and hopefully, it will go the way I want. I'll let you know. But like you too, sometimes, you just get a little bummed out with
the tanks. I have five of them, and I am slowly setting each one up to be much easier to deal with.

I haven't cleaned mine in 2 years

Wanna hear something funny?  I FINALLY have greenwater in the jar on the windowsill! LOL
