Greg, my experiences with the USPS have not been all that bad. Of all the shipments I've sent over the years, very few have gotten lost or were delivered late....
The little shrimp are really tiny, but the dwarf cories are a rather gentle kind, leaving their own tiny fry alone as well. If you don't add any more threats,...

ok, so my female dwarf cray carrying eggs is my casualty for today. Is there any way to save these eggs? I took her body (and attached eggs) out of the large...
Hey everybody, I just wanted to say that today i am now the proud owner of 11 ghost shrimp. I went to the store and they had alot, so i bought 10 but instead i...

Di, the eggs need to be kept aerated. You might try placing an airstone near them to keep water flow going over them. The problem is the decomposing body. It...
Jessica, I came home with 6 Ghost Shrimp 2 weeks ago. The man catching them chased down the egg carrying (berried) femaes for me. In their first few days...
Now keep in mind, my idea of dwarfs are those that max out at about 1 3/4 of an inch or less, and pigmy corys max out at about 1 inch. I like the C. julii or...
I was thinking of the aeration question last night. I know they fan constantly. I'm sure I could try to scrape them off the tail and let the others have...
Ok, so I had kept the body in a sea monkey tank over night. I got out my guppie breeder box to float in the tank next to the air stone. I used my daughter's...

its worth a shot to remove the eggs. they will die if left on the body (if they havent already). Try using a fine tooth comb to gently scrape them off. ...

Wow! That stuff looks MOST perfect for the little crays! This morning I think I found maybe a culprit among them. There seems to be 1 dominant male in there...
Well, the eggs that fell from the filter sponge have turned from black to a brownish color, and some are getting fuzzy. This I am taking to mean that they are...
I haven't read many reports of snail shell repair - what a good story. I've been following the egg rescue attempt with interest, too. I was rooting ( what...
Well, the repair attempt worked very well for the apple snails sold as "mystery". It's not pretty to look at, but keeps tank mates from picking at him. I...
Hello all! I've given a person 10 Crystal Red Bee shrimp, and he seems to think I've given him all males. I don't believe this is the case. Is there a ...
Hey, I am thinking of starting another tank for just ghost shrimp. The tank is 2.5 gallons I think. I put some rocks and some breeding grass at the bottom of...
Hello Jessica, Personally, I don't care for small tanks. Although I don't even care for 10 gallons either (other than for Quarentine/Hospital tank), I would...
Hi Di ! When I have snails I don't want, I simply reach in the tank and

Well, I don't see any eggs left in the sponge. Likewise, I don't see any of the 5 ghost shrimp I bought on Friday, or my long time left over ghost (the 1...
