Do you have all these in stock? I am very interested in the poso blue Sulawesi shrimp. Please PM me...

How about what kind of Platies are they? Red Wag, Gold Twin Bar, Blue Mickey Mouse, etc. That might help generate some interest.

I thought I would post this about my experience with these after checking out my tank full of these. They are a nice river cichlid from the Congo, they are not as colorful as their Pelvachromis relatives. I hadn't kept any Nanochromis until I picked up a pair of these as F0 adults about a year...

Do you know who Mustafa is and have you tried him?

Water quality is critical to daphnia. Tap water will not do. Chlorine/chloramine = death. And yes a larger container is a must. I use 4-5 gallon buckets and larger when culturing. Green water is also one of the keys to daphnia. If you can produce green water and put daphnia into it or put into...

Some more I thought about... How long has this tank been setup? Like I said, I don't know this particular type; but many of them feed on Diatoms (brown algea). Actually most FW cardinia and neocardinia shrimp do to some extent but the Sulawesi shrimp can be very picky. If they come from the...

That is great, 7.50 may seem like a lot but it is a steal at today's prices. The price is high because they have not been widely available in the US and can be hard to keep and breed. They are typically not considered a beginner shrimp just like the rest of the Sulawesi shrimp. Nice shrimp...

I have been using cuttle bone and occasionally the veggie sticks from Ken. The temps on my tanks are normally between 76-80. I am talking about a few kinds of snails, MTS, Ramshorn, Mystery and Tylo. The Mystery do seem to have the issue when I feed them better - trying to encourage faster...

I am just wondering what people do to maintain their snails shells. It seems no matter what I do I can not get them to stay as flawless as most of the people I see selling them. Have a pH from 7.6 to 7.8 in most of my snail tanks and the water is moderately hard. Yet the shells seem to erode. I...

I received my shipment and spoke to a couple other purchasers. Everyone has DOAs. Not just one either. I am waiting to see just how many are actually dead. The shipping method he uses works well for plants but not for animals. I think it is a matter of him learning how to ship animals the...

Nice fish Bill, I had to look them up. I don't recall hearing of them not to mention seeing them available anywhere. Keyholes, in my experience are shy when young but will get more bold with age. I found keeping them in heavily planted tanks seemed to keep them more shy. They are pretty mellow...

Don't think that. When they were first introduced that was true. However most "Parrots" today are indeed fertile. I have seen enough of them breed and raise fry the last few years. Looking at the photos, they don't look at all like a Parrot. A cross of a Severum and convict is to say the lest...

What are you doing to lower your pH to 6.5 from 7.5? Nobody has mentioned the wood or white algae. You have to admit that is odd. What would bleach algae? Copper will if I am not mistaken. Regarding the water, I am having issues like crazy and so are other hobbyists in the area for the last...

Thanks, I have 3 types of Gymnos at the moment and Meurta Creek are the ones I am waiting to see as they develop into adults. I have never seen them for sale, there is one person I know of breeding them and sellling them to a semi-local store. They already have a unique color to them, I hope it...

Did you try Aquabid?

Saw the new post on Gymnos and I just finished screwing around shooting some picks of some of mine. So I thought I would put up a couple... I should have cleaned the glass beforehand. The male insisted on hanging out in the shade as soon as the camera came out. The color isn't accurate, the real...

As already said, Snails are a known pathogen carrier. I know they can carry parasites and bacteria without having issues themselves. I honestly don't know that quarantine will necessarily fix the issue though. Quarantine does not kill parasites or bacteria without treatments. Most of which will...

Very cool, take that partially charged battery and start snapping! I just picked up 2 Yellow Rabbits and a total of 5 Yellow antennas. One shipment was a 2 & 2 in the same bag. There was a fifth by the time I opened it and I am not sure where it came from or what variety it is.

I agree mostly from what I know of true aquatic species; but I have heard some will only do well in an acidic environment for example. As for determining the species you are correct. I have java moss that looks like 3 different types of moss depending on lighting and other tank conditions. I...

I want to start using more mosses and moss like plants (liverworts) in my tanks and I am having a heck of a time figuring out what mosses are truly aquatic. I know a good deal about plants but not this sub-group. I have spent some time doing research but I am underwhelmed. I thought maybe a...
