forumsnow Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Like the title says I gave Tom Barr a small starter colony of oebt the other day. Trying to give him a little nudge to get into the shrimping world. He is a super smart guy and I think it would be a huge benefit to our hobby if he joined in. He also has a huge following with planted tank people and I think he could help spread a ton of shrimp. They are in his 70 gallon buce tank so keep an eye out for them. miwu and h4n 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well done, may ask him to help developing an American GH+ mix for Bee shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forumsnow Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 That could be interesting. Not sure how much he would know about shrimp needs though, he really isn't big on shrimp, yet.... haha. I'll ask him tomorrow though.

Shaun Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I like this! Tom is one of the big names in the planted world and no doubt will be a big asset to shrimping once he gets into it.Holding thumbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Nice idea man! Hope they work out for him! This is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forumsnow Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Got a pm from Tom last night, guess he did a very slow acc into his 120 dutch hybrid tank for them. It will be interesting to see how they do in a very high tech tank. I gave him one of my og huge breeder females, so if they are happy she should berry up in no time. I only gave him 6 to start but keep an eye out in his next pics and see if you can spot them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pika Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 High tech tank, eh? Well, if anyone can manage it, maybe he can. I bet he's pretty good at stability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHe Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 High tech tank, eh? Well, if anyone can manage it, maybe he can. I bet he's pretty good at stability. the only issue I saw here is the trace elements dose. it may contain copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Some copper is fine. But he always has it loaded with plants that suck it right up. And he has a wet/dry sump are plenty of o2 exhchange. Very interested in the results though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
