20 gallon long sulawesi tank

Spent like 20 minutes finding babies and found about 9 more

[Totenkampf]

Sweet! I read they have smaller clutches so that may be pretty good

[fishman1]

Yeah their clutches aren't like 25-30 like some neos

congrats man. does that means there will be 2 suppliers of Cardinals now? someone should get new one to get different blood. other wise everything will be from God Tim!

[Totenkampf]

i think thats the major issue, i dont know if i would trust shipping these guys from just anyone that i didnt know well.

[R_sustaita]

yeah, i agree. but then how would we improve the blood line for them?

[Totenkampf]

well, SOMEONE ELSE will need to risk it lol. or a group buy where we divide up the survivors and just expect to take losses. i wouldnt be surprised if thats what tim did originally

[armthehomeless]

I originally got my first group from PhongTS in Union City, CA. I got 10... nine of which made the shipment (overnight). I kept them for a while, and sold only to people that I was confident would be successful in keeping / breeding them. One of those people has posted has since posted cardinals for sale on HFB. The other haven't ... although most have been successful. There are some great hobbyists in Houston that don't post much here. Cardinals in a 125...

I did since get bring in a WC colony and had about 30% survival rate. I never sold my WCs... and most have since passed on. If received shrimp in the last 6 months... they were shrimplets from the WC group. I think I'm going to get out of cardinals... keep them breeding! There should be enough to go around. There should definitely be new blood though. Most cardinals in US can be traced back to Phong or me.

If someone wants to get a new group, PM me.

[fishman1]

In the 6th pic there are 2 baby shrimp 1 you should be able to see and the other is a bit harder the 4th pic is a baby tylo I have about 4-5 little ones. The white thing is the left over skin from the cucumber/ zucchini

[armthehomeless]

but it was my first time using it.

Not bad for your first time with a camera.

[aquabee]

Agreed. And great job with the cardinals.
