randy Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I apologize for derailing this thread though. Back to shrimpiness. No problem at all and thanks for giving me the chance to learn more about this one more animal cruelty. So here is the picture for people to see. This so called Unicorn is made by cutting a small piece of meat off the back of blood parrot while it's still young. A lot of them won't make it but the ones that do grow to adult, they look like this. It's your personal judgement but I highly recommend not to promote this kind of act.

randy Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Back to the tour, it's day 3 and we are already exhausted. Finishing the visit to SS (Water Updown) late last night, we saw purple TB, and red pinto with dragon pattern plus purple on the head. We stayed at Water Updown showroom (man, it is the prettiest shrimp room I've seen). Let me share some pics from water updown first. More interviews to do today and tomorrow....including water totem, skyfish, elegant lady and a few others...... already tired but super excited.

randy Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I don't know if this is why, but almost all tanks in water updown (in Chinese, it means more like above and below the water surface) has some plants above the water...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 That totally makes sense. It would act as a hydroponic filter. Any idea what those containers are called or how to get some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 +1 on the plant boxes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I want plant boxes like those! They would eliminate carbon limitations underwater as well as algae choking out submerged growth. And they look so much larger than the riparium planters that either fall off or stunt the plants by binding the roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elo500 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 I want to know about the plant that looks like grass on top of the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
