You still have any?

@dbosman, REALLY?! I never knew, no one has ever told me that lol The pie pan idea is pretty cool too. I washed the sand out in a bucket its sitting there so now I just gotta put it in. Is there any specific way to do it or just pour the sand out of the bucket and smooth it out :o?

Thank you for the replies :D I'm curious though, how does it get messy? Sorry I've never had sand in any of my tanks so I have no idea.

Has anyone used this sand for their aquariums with invertebrates? I got it for free and was thinking of using it but I dont want to kill them if there is something in it. According to this: http://www.quikrete.com/PDFs/MSDS-B4-Playsand.pdf It says that it doesnt contain anything known to kill...

Well I'm finding that some have dots, some dont. Then some of them who have dots seem to be female. They might be pale because they are still adjusting. If they really are one of the three I think if I wait and see when they breed, then I will know for sure as they appear very similar but their...

Heres more pictures, hoping they help. I am starting to suspect they are something else. I was visiting multiple invert sites and on one I finally found something that seems to match what I was speaking of. The shrimp I had obtained as "ghosts" started to gain color but as they did, I...

These are probably the best I can get with my camera. Its way too old. Hopefully these will help.

I agree with you. I know they are some sort of dwarf shrimp, neocaridina heteropoda, and I'm pretty sure that I'm caring for them just fine. Its just I was really curious on the variation because it doesnt look like any other shrimp I've seen. At this point I'm going to just say they are wilds...

When I saw them in the ghost shrimp tank I swore they were snowballs so I got them but the only reason as to why I can't be sure now is that most pictures of snowballs I see are really pure white and mine aren't. That and I've never had snowballs before so its hard for me to just say, they're...

@jackiomy, they kinda do, but my amanos are bigger and have those silly side spots XD These shrimp are small so I'm pretty sure they are dwarf shrimp. It could be the stress but they just seem so strange. Some have grey eyes instead of pure black, is that normal? @homedog98, Do those even exist...

And this may be irrelevant but it struck me as strange. Almost all but one of the shrimp I picked seemed to be male, the rest were all females or from what I can tell. I see Cherry shrimp often and can tell from female and male; in these shrimp that I got, however, I cant. All of them seem to...

The lighting on this next picture is really strange so I wouldnt take thier colors into consideration but the picture is clearer in detail.

Umm, so major confusion now. I put them in my tank after setting up a divider in the tank to separate them but it seems that some of those "snowball" shrimp are turning pink in the shell, not body, and now my mind is being totally blown because some are starting to turn red red, like they are...

It's body looks like that of the cherry shrimp but its white. I dont think they are all dying but I cant be sure. I have heard of shrimp called snowball shrimp but I may be wrong. Asking the shop wouldnt help either since they sold them to me as ghost shrimp but obviously they arent :P Hopefully...

No, he is not a new arrival. He was born there... That aside, can someone please tell me how to go about treating him and not about how it happened?

I'm pretty sure I dont, if anything it was a heron of some sort because of the reservoir near the house, but I could care less about it now since that can be easily fixed. I've got him in a small tank with some salt for the meantime. Dont know what to do now since all the shops outside are...

This koi is still young, and he was with other koi but I noticed he was acting sluggish so I took him out only to find that he may have been attacked by something. I'm worried if he'll be able to recover. His wound is terrible and I see fungus on his wound and is exposing his flesh in some...

That picture of the white guppy looks like one of those purposely bred for people to see the insides easier so I wouldnt say it is inflamed because it lacks pigment and the only thing that shows up really well is anything pink.

Doesnt look like it to me, could be just nipped tails. However, nipped tails could easily lead to fin rot if water quality isnt good.

Thank you for the input. Knowing that its not just mine that acts that way is a little reassuring. He still acts normal and he is currently in a tank by himself, however when I look at him, sometimes I see this blackish portion inside of him that shows up through his skin that wasnt there...
