Love it. Plymouth Rock? Used to have an Australian type .

What made you get tired of them, the fighting ?

It is interesting how the orange varies so much . The initial one's I bought are such a dull orange that I mixed them with Louisiana dwarfs and the hybrids are no less colorful .

Thank you. I asked temps as was thinking of some for a 29 gallon planted and read sites with temps all over the place .

Florida is tricky as far as Cuban tree frogs, knight anoles , house geckos ,reef geckos and few others could have easily come here naturally on floating rafts of tree's etc . Cuba, Haiti is what I call a ''storm away'' which means after summer storms you see debris from those islands washed up in Key west . Now pythons and monitors are a different story .

In a million years I would have never thought that mysis shrimp of all things would cause any problems .

'' aura blue tigers'' Okay that would be the pic. I don't know what is what as far different types of shrimps . I only know types I keep which are the ''basic'' crystal types so thought they were called King Kongs.

oh I see . I read that this years USA artistic gymnastic team is amazing so she might enjoy it . China is always fierce competition .

Are the shrimp up on the right hand side what are called King Kong ? Very nice. Like blue darker pastel .

lol

Oh those blue velvets are beauties .

I only have White male but love the blue, red and orange one's . He killed the female after more than a year . I intend to get a female and since like all 3 colors not sure of color yet . She will be kept separate but I would like to breed two different colors .

Ahhh yes . Been there done that and STILL doing it , lol.

Same temps but winter nights here of 9 Celsius are rare . Think we had about 7 scatters days of 9 Celsius this year with average being 16 to 20C at night and going by weather now winter is over . Our summer days are 33 Celsius and higher and we will be there in bit over a month . I actually thought your summer days were easily hotter than ours . I have engulfing hate for the cold , lol but love the heat . '' tho we don't get tropical storms'' Now that I do hate .

I imagine she is looking forward to the summer Olympics .

The fish looked like the giant snakeheads which are Black/White with lots more growing to do and yes they looked deformed .

Wow those assorted Amazon rays are gorgeous .

Lol fantastic song .

How is the weather by you as far as average day/night winter temps ?

What was introduced ?

Before 9-11 I used to go to an Air Force base and fish the canals . Sure it had sings which read 'No Trespassing ' but the huge hole in the fence told me 'Come on in' . It was a huge area far away from the landing strip , etc which was just palm tree's , grass and canals . The tegu's were the most beautiful crisp black/white going and not shy about being seen . Though they also had some type monitor I never saw any . After 9-11 the security changed and that was the end of that .

Yes you'll get more geckos and perhaps other types of reptiles , lol. I have never met anyone who started with one gecko, couple of dart frogs or a pair of finches and stopped . Since you recently moved out you start slow than your goal is a house with a reptile/fish room and that cant be beat .

Is this your first reptile ? If so you will find yourself getting more lol . Not just another female crestie but other Geckos .

Yes I have seen them mostly in Key west where in one area they are out and you see them a lot but this is from my yard like 2 years ago but it disappeared after couple months. I am about an 45 minutes from Key West . I am putting mealworms on gazebo screen to lure it but best pic I was able to get as it came out of canopy . What I think were 3 were in area for month to 2 months than disappeared . I even had one Tokay which was eaten by a corn snake . Adult corns eat knight Anoles and Baby Iguanas and in mid summer when baby Knights and baby Iguanas show up so do the adult corns . The most beautiful non Native we had IMO was the giant Jamaican Anole which had the most amazing green you could fathom but the big cold spell few years ago took them all out . The rest took a toll but came back . I loved the Jamaican anoles never saw such incredible green in my life . Day Gecko in yard -- Jamaican anole -

I have never actually seen a mourning gecko other than pics . They look like smaller house geckos ? I have common house geckos in the yard they also chirp when I put mealworms outside window sill but aggressive with each other . In theory there are areas with mourning geckos here but I cant fathom mourning geckos vs house geckos which can even kill each other . I love south Pacific herps because they are herps usually not found in the market and they have a few types of tiny tree type skinks which are tiny colony type skinks . You may have seen some . They were once available but after 80s no more .
