I have a spawning pair of Green Severum in my 55 gallon tank in my gameroom. They work great for me, with a few ottos and a bristlenose pleco for algae control.

Aside from the fish load I have also found that from time to time the stock fo Cardinals many LFS get in stock just isn't that hardy and you end up getting some losses.

I buy them as feeders, 10 for $1. But it looks like I may have also gotten a surprise or two in one batch , as per my thread earlier today: http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30955

Well as he seems to be one of a small number of them that were this "other" shrimp, which I'm definitely believing is the case now the more I read up on it, I am considering moving them into a 55 where I have a pair of severum. I think he's big enough now that the would not be mean...

The best bits of advice I have are to reiterate Traci's comment on a tripod being worth it, and to remember never to try to use a flash. I get what I consider decent but not spectacular results with and without macro mode. (Some of my shots I want to get my whole tank in and those, of...

Nope, he just scavenges the spirulina flake I put in there for the current residents (Some Paradise Gourami). There are a couple other survivor shrimp in there, but he's definitely the alpha among them .. although not sure of gender...

Well here is a picture of him. It's not the best pic in the world, and I was in a hurry.. But does it look like a crayfish to you?

In an optimal scenario you have a planted tank where you can open the room to sunlight letting the plants help out with O2 during the daylight hours. I would recommend the battery powered airstones and a good supply of batteries though. If you have any natrually occuring breeze through...

I have a side tank that I usually use for quarentine and holding. One day I picked up about 30 ghost shrimp as feeders for my severum and some other larger fish I have. I dropped them into the Q tank and figured to feed them out over time. This all went well. until I go in there and...

There are specific liquid foods out there for fry that differentiate between livebearer food and egglayer food. Just make sure you pick up the egglayer food. Although I've used both in the past, i'd rather be safe than sorry and such.

In my experiences breeding blue gouramir and paradise fish I usually do the following: As mentioned above once the eggs are laid remove the female, for her own safety. Once they have hatched you can remove the male as long as there are no other predators in the tank. I fed them then...

Well to throw in my 2 cents here.... As for dogs eating fish food. Any time i accidentally leave a container of fish food where either of my two dogs can get to it I might as well kiss it goodbye. This morning I found , out in my back yard, the crushed and emptied remains of a can of Juvi...

What i'm considering strongly at this point is a screen divider in the tank to keep the fry on one side and everything else (including parents) over on the other. But as of this morning they were still just wrigglers and not free swimming yet. So it will probably be this weekend before that...

Check out www.aquabid.com , I just got a regulator with bubble counter and solenoid there for a really nice price, ($70 if i'm remembering right) If you have a BOC Gasses in your town look them up for the tank and such. Or any wending supply shop should be able to point you in the direction...

I have a 55 gallon with two Green Severeum and 5 Ottos in it (and a couple snails.. it's a planted tank). Lo and behold while I was away on my honeymoon they took the time for a little amore of theyir own and I have several wrigglers on a log in the tank they used to breed on apparently...

If you have large enough fish in the tank that type of "invader" gets reclassified as "snack" My paradise gouriami love it when a mosquito or two manage to get into the house and try to lay eggs in thier tanks.

There's an Article on the Krib that involves this. It's actually a derivate of a red algae if i'm looking at those pics right. Check this out... http://www.thekrib.com/Plants/Algae/red-algae.html

My 100 gallon is "heavily" planted right now I think. Here's a pic: My 100 gallon tank You have a decentply planted tank, Given decent conditions it should fill out well. As always i suggest finding a way to inject some c02 into your mix. I can't emphasize what a difference c02 has...

If they've managed to survive in a WalMart tank set up for three months they may be some kind of mutant uberfish. heh

My L. Repens is possibly the most resilient plant I hve as far as water changing conditions. Asides from my lights dying over a tank once for a week I have seen few things slow that stuff down, let alone cause "rot". Now, I have had Crypt rot happen each time I make a major change to the...
