That sounds awesome...did homeless aquatics not have any orange post snails

$7 wc only... figured wild caught would be alittle more difficult to acclimate so i skipped out on them this time... then there seems to be mixed reviews on if tylo snails eat.plants the site i searched beore purchasing said no very plant safe now i have read not plant safe so guess ill see soon

 

[Jev12]

Hmmm interesting I'm going to have to look in on that...and definatley keep us updated on wether they do or not

 

[Jev12]

Do the rabbit snails breed a lot or are they kind of like assassins...will breed just not very often as if there is enough food

 

[kjacks]

They drop 1 live baby every 3weeks or so

Been researching the shrimp i got.. although i order what was listed as blueberry homebred sulawesi shrimp i fully believe they are just malawa shrimp i love them though just wish i wouldnt have paid as much each shrimp as i did for them..

Here is one if the sites i used for this .. my shrimp look identical to the top 2 photos.. He was selling malawa shrimp that were the dark brown the article explains so i think he truly believes they are different which i guess he could be right although the only info he could give me was caridina sulawesi

I was wrong... Tim emailed me the info he had and these are my shrimp not malawa shrimp

sulawesi shrimps are better off on there own tank because the ph is supposed to be a lot higher than cherries and are hard to breed and to care especially for a beginner you shoulda have gotten tiger shrimps or babaulti shrimps for they are easy to breed, wont interbreed with your shrimps or each other, and are beautiful

Im gonna get the baublti greens once i can find them.. so far the blueberries are fine.. the guy said they were as easy as the rcs when i got them not like the crs.. so far so good which i know i havent had them but a week hard to find info on them since these are a newer strain.. i have only found them for sale at 2 places ... my ph is on the higher side anyway

So could i still get the tiger shrimp and not have any worries about crossbreeding even if i add the baublti greens ? Some of this is alittle confusing.. i keep reading stuff but sometimes it says may mix with certain shrimp...
