Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae.

I work with too many parasites to want those in my house!

Steve, you should take a look at the Okayama, or white tiger Neocaridina.  It's right up your alley.  The white body is caused by a parasite that is supposed to be symbiotic to the shrimp host.
 
Here's a couple pics from the net:

Hi guys,
 
Hope I didn't keep people waiting for too long but here it is, January 2015 RAOK!!
 
SO here it is, for this month's RAOK I have decided to give one lucky person 5 Super Hornet Bee!!!!
 
These shrimps are new on the market and currently quite rare, to make things better these guys will thrive in a tank that is set for CRS!!
 
We will also pay for shipping but no DOA insurance.
 
As usual start a number list and on January 30th we will see who the lucky winner is!!!
 
Thanks,
 
Blue Crown

I just had a talk with novina about some moss species i have. I have to say clearly that they all arrived to me as christmas mosses from other hobbists but i had doubts in some of these cases. i can gladly sent you also the discusion that i have just had with novina in the last hours.
 
i put here the pictures so you have your personal thoughts on it. these 4 species come direct from normal aquariums from some colleagues, i do not know their origine, like in case of the angel moss.
 
anyway, see and have please your own opinion
 
quotes from the discusion i had with novina 
 
"Last two ones are not xmas for sure xmas is vesicularia and you showed taxiphyllum".. it was meant on the picture with 2 separate different mosses (down right)
 
"I dont think so, it look like taxiphyllum" is meant regarding the 2 pictures of the same moss (above)
 
 
i am really curios on you comments, as i  trust the knowledge of novina.
 
 
My very personal thought was that the 2 pictures above is the christmas moss, that is why i havent put it in any list as i presume evrybody here has christmas moss, but now i am not that sure anymore.

Oh and just a tip to go alot with about, keep the temp around 76-78 because some disease die in high temps(ick) and some grow and spread faster in high temps(columnaris) and I'm sure its the same with cold temps.

You can actually have crosses of different genus (not just species) in some cases. Yeah, my high school biology class failed there too.
