Do you think it is possible to breed a Blue Pearl Shrimp and a Red Cherry Shrimp together to produce shrimp that are purple? I recently saw some April fools posts about Purple Crystal Shrimp (photoshop), and thought I could pull off a purple shrimp through actual breeding. I already have...

Here is a link to the tank with some pictures of the current light setup: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?259793-My-5-Gallon-Planted-Shrimp-Tank-(Vid-Pics)

Hi, My 5 gallon currently has a hood with an incandescent light (15 watt). I also have a bunch of little 5mm leds (x24) that I added as well. They create good light together, but the incandescent light creates too much heat, and gets the water up to 82 degrees. This is much too hot for the...

I see some stuff I like, but I can't make the 15 dollar limit. I don't think I have high enough lighting, or no2 levels for some.

Hi, I purchased this sponge filter, but then I got a HOB filter. This is brand new, and never used. Just needs an air pump to run. Link to filter: http://www.amazon.com/Hydro-Sponge-Filter-Up-gallons/dp/B0002602S2/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1332443415&sr=8-5 Does anyone have any plants they...

I have the blues you are looking for.

How much is shipping?

I have a brand new sponge filter for tanks up to 5 gallons. http://www.amazon.com/Hydro-Sponge-Filter-Up-gallons/dp/B0002602S2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331055153&sr=8-1 I would like to trade this for plants or something.

That's a great resource, thanks!

Hi, I have two questions about drop checkers. 1. I added a drop checker to my 5 gallon (cleaned it first), and two days later there was this growth on it. http://imgur.com/AiWgv I cleaned it again, and two days later the same growth came back. So I removed it, cleaned it, and added it to my...

Would you be interested in shipping the CPDs to the Washington DC area?

Hi, I have had this algae in my tank for the longest time, and I haven't been able to ID it or get rid of it. Here is a link to two pictures: http://imgur.com/a/o6qrp The first picture is of some driftwood and rocks after they have been scrubbed of the algae. The second picture is the before...

Sold my first shrimp tonight! They are in the process of cranking out more too.

Thanks. It's Fluval Shrimp Stratum

I'll let you know when I get set up for shipping these out. Speaking of which, can anyone give me some tips on how to ship live shrimp, and where to get the things I need? I have java moss for them to cling to during shipping.

Me too. I once found out what the small, not worm looking, things are. I had them in my 20 gallon, and I think they moved over to this 5 gallon tank on plants. They come and go. I don't know about the worm things though. I doubt much lived through me boiling the wood, but it is possible if they...

Thanks! I'm noticing that there are tons of baby shrimp now. I'll need to get rid of some so my tank doesn't get over crowded. I'll most likely sell some on Craigslist, and maybe here on the marketplace. Although, I have never shipped live animals before, and I don't know the costs to get the...

This is my 5 gallon planted shrimp tank. The shrimp are Blue Pearls. Fluval Shrimp Substrate Aquaclear 20 HOB Filter Incandescent light hood with custom LEDs added Driftwood, and rocks collected from Potomac River in Alexandria, VA The first picture is of the baby shrimp I have in my tank...

Pretty neat idea. I would like to see how your moonlight idea works out. The perlin noise looks like a cool way to animate the lights. I have been teaching myself electronics, and I bought an arduino recently. I did a little work with shift registers and leds, but not much past that. I am...

I've never thought of it, but now that you mention it, I think it could be a cool idea. What did you have in mind?
