That's what I heard, that if you keep Red Cherries in the same tank with the "Taiwan Blues" they'd breed and in a few generations they'd not be red anymore but...
You heard something *approximately* like that (with some creative changes on your part ;) ) from me (not quite like you described as you will see in my ...

Ghost shrimp wouldnt be able to eat the Otos; they usually are less than 1.5 inches and cost less than 50 cents. If these shrimp have long claws and were from...
What an interesting discussion! When I bred chinchillas I was amazed at the "specialty colors" created by the pet industry to attract customers. It looks like...
Mustafa, interestingly enough, I can not find Neocaridina denticulata sinensis in any of my taxonomic databases. However, Kemp described it back in 1918, so...

Hi Frank, Look under N. denticulata first. There should be enough references. There are even very recent journal articles about N. denticulata sinensis...
<<One of them even deals with the ones introduced to Hawaii.>> Yep, I got those references. I was just thinking that it's interesting that none of the...
<<It's better than nothing, but it's hopelessly obsolete and in many cases inaccurate. But then...most books are>> It was published in 1999, so yes, it's...

I've got the English translation of the Freshwater Shrimp, crab, crayfish book and it's really been most useful for keeping my dwarf crays. The pictures are...
I did a tour of LFS this holiday weekend, pricing new plants and fish for my snail & dwarf cray tank. I've been told by most everywhere that I'm best off with...
I breed snails (red ramshorn's and brig's (mostly purples, but a few other colors), and can tell you from experience, the colors are genetic. For further info,...

I hope this question hasn't already been answered, but a buddy of mine lucked out and got a pregnant tiger shrimp and now needs to know if there is anything he...
Hi all, I'm looking at adding some fertilizer to my slightly planted tank. However, while reading the ingredients of some of the better known ones, I noticed a...
Copper is a required trace element, so is included in all trace element mixtures. I have never had any issues with my shrimp from its presence. I currently...
I'd received some Taiwan Pale Blue shrimp from Frank about a month or so ago. My intention was to get a few good pictures of the shrimp. I put them in a 2.5G...
I use the Seachem line, too, and have never had any problems. Plants, fish AND shrimp are happy and healthy. Actually, my Cherry Red Shrimp are proliferating...
Ok...I have the never ending problem with my ph. I've gotten the Kent 3 pack and been using that, so hopefully the molting problems with the crays and the...
please avoid using chemicals, etc. to raise ph. Try crushed coral in your substrate or powdered calcium carbonate, or even from what I've heard on this mail...
What's the pH of your local water? Maybe a complete water change is in order. I've also read about using limestone rocks to adjust the pH. It's a start, Matt ...
straight out of the tap, it is just at 7.0 After it hits the tank, it drops to 6.2 to 6.4 I have never been able to get it back up over 6.6 without adding lots...
Not 100% certain, but I'd hazard a guess that neither the driftwood or the lava rock is dropping your pH. What are you using for substrate (gravel)? Maybe...
Most of the Kent, etc. Calcium products raise GH and not KH, and not ph noticeably. A ph of 6.6 is not going to hurt them. Do you think perhaps they are ...
Hi Di, Go to the grocery store and buy some baking soda...add it to your water (it's best to dissolve it first in a separate container) until you reach the...
