Getting back into the game

It looks really close, That Aquarium Place over off Stuebner Airline and Louetta stocks it. Mike Truong at Aqua Aquarium can likely get it as well as I think they use the same supplier

Nice. At the moment, my shrimps look like this.

Photo is from HTN Inverts where I got my shrimp from. He's on facebook.

Wow! Would you ever sell any?

[Qs Evolution]

And do you guys know if any place here sells Mr aqua nano tanks??

[Qs Evolution]

Or Ada tanks..

[Qs Evolution]

Never mind, not ada. They're expensive lol

[mnemenoi]

That Aquarium Place and Aqua Aquarium sell those Mr. Aqua tanks. ADG sells Aquavas, that are on par with ADA tanks. Few other places sell off brand stuff occasionally. Nice Carbon Rilis Mistahoo! I am interested to hear how they do for you. Have been wanting some Carbons for awhile or some Snowballs... Have the cherries and yellows and a lone old crazy OEBT and three busted pumpkin neos...(might have all one sex, but think that is odd for sure) Not sure where to next really... Maybe some Baubaltis or some of those Peruvian zebras.... have a line on some that are wild caught

[mistahoo]

The carbon rillis are easy to keep. Well these are anyways. They have already been selectively bred for the purplish black color in waters similar to our tap water by HTN inverts. If you're interested you can message him on FB. I only bought 20 from him but I received 25. Not enough to start selling any yet.

Quick question, can I keep blue velvet shrimps in my 20long that's stocked with 5 white clouds?

[Austy16414]

That's a tricky question. From what I've seen, it can go both ways when mixing dwarf shrimp and omni-insectivores (sp?). I think the main question is how much do you care about your shrimp, but it depends on sizing, setup, feeding, and other factors. The 20L could give room for both, but you would need an array of hiding places for the shrimp to make it feasible. In the event of any reproduction among the shrimp, I would not expect to see many shrimplets make it. If the shrimp are large and the clouds are small, you would have a better chance of this mix working. All that said, personally, I would not mix the two. Shrimp are much easier to enjoy in a smaller, shrimp-dedicated tank, in my opinion. Hope this helps

My fish's favorite food is shrimp. All I can say LOL.

I agree with Austin, it can be done but any fish beyond Otocinclus is a calculated risk. They will take shrimplets and juvies (as opposed to most of the Boraras micro rasbora just being a risk to shrimplets. With enough dense plant cover some should survive, but it can take awhile to build a colony and you'll never have it become very dense. Shrimp really change their behavior when a predator is present as well, they just remain more shy and hide far more. Your call really, I have kept WCM in with my low grade cherries and still had breeding, but it was significantly reduced.

I'm just going to part away with the fishes and do a 20L shrimp tank, i think it'll be pretty cool

[Austy16414]

That's a monster shrimp tank! Should make for an impressive colony

[Qs Evolution]

They'll be in this tank, I'm sure they'd be happy as hell.
