    Hi everyone

    I've been keeping shrimp for almost a year now. I have amanos and red cherry shrimp in two tanks. The red cherries had a population explosion, and I sold some off a few weeks ago. Looking to get some orange eye blue tigers next. Here's a picture of one of my best shrimp.

  4. I haven't thought about that much, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to throw it up on git hub. I snuck away to the shop tonight and got things sanded, glued, and assembled. Still have some more trim to add before I move it into the spray booth, but at least now I have exact dimensions for the box. Made some lock miter joints for the side panels. Clamping the lock miter while the glue sets Left panel Right panel I just used some 2" strips of 1/4" ply scrap to secure the walnut panel from the back so it can float. It will be covered by the box and never seen so it looks like crap, but whatever. On the doors though I will cut some 1/4" cherry ply to fit the space, sand, and spray to make it look nice.

  5. Oh and one more thing... This is the greatest product since sliced bread! https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Fish-Tank-Plastic-Frame-Net-Fry-Hatchery-Breeder-Breeding-Incubator-Isolation-Aquarium-Fish-Hatchery-Breeding-Hospital/1501980_32524838534.html Didn't get mine from Ali, I forget where I got it. Thought it was Foster's and Smith but couldn't find it on their website. I've had mine for years... No need for fancy plumbing, the inhabitants get the same fresh filtered water as everyone else. It goes up and breaks down easily. And can be bleached in between uses. Love this thing when I find a baby cory in the tank and I just know one of the Cardinals will get it.... i call it "the play pen". The babies can hang out in it until they're too big for anyone to pick on them. It's really cheap and really great!

  6. Pat yourself on the back! You did everything perfectly. Yeah, maybe the temp was a little high.... But Neos should be able to handle that temp. Neos are a lot tougher and much less fussy than Caridinias. A good temp for a Neo is probably about 75 or 76. They'll do okay at 70, but they generally like warmer water than Caridinias. And fancy $$ shrimp sand isn't necessary for Neos either. They'll do just as well on pool filter sand... When you did the unboxing, you said that 2 of the shrimp looked kind of brown. Hmmmmm... Wonder which 2 simply didn't travel well? Some shrimp simply don't travel well. IMHO I think it's because they're so inbred that it's normal for a few individuals to not be as 'robust' as the others. I sell shrimp. I always offer them at $10 +1 for X$. The extra is always to cover DOAs. But my customers usually find 13 or 14 in the bag. Not patting myself on the back here, I think a lot of shrimp sellers do the same thing (Yeah there are some who don't -boo). It's just because we know that some won't travel as well as others. And in the end, we want customers to be happy. If they're not happy - we get bad feedback, right? So that's why the seller sent a few extra instead of just 1. Hat's off to Aquatic Arts! I'm with 'ya! That's a good seller. Oh, one thing to mention, the packing material... I think you're going to find most fish or shrimp shipped in this packing material these days, It's called 'cellulose insulation' and it's made of recycled paper. It serves 2 purposes in shipping aquatic animals. 1) It's insulation and helps keep them at the correct temperature. 2) The shipping companies insist that there be enough packing material to absorb all the liquid should one of the bags leak. It's super absorbent. But yeah, it stinks to breath it. But until something better comes along, we're stuck with it. Sometimes you can get away with newspaper stuffing if there isn't too much liquid in the box... But inmost cases we have to use it. The post office, Fedex and UPS get really angry with us if they have to transport a soggy box.

  7. If it took 2 months for you, Dr Tims bacteria did little to nothing for you. It takes 1-3 months to cycle without adding bacteria additives.

    Fissidens incurvus

    So this is the facies of Fissidens virudulus ssp incurvus "Edithae". Close to Miroshaki but about 2-3 mm higher. This is how the stones developed in the last 6 months being permanently submerged. This species comes from small waterfalls and lives naturally almost in complete darkness. So it is very easy to keep, has not high light requirements, it is also very darkgreen.
