i got the shrimp today!
i asked for 10 red cherry shrimp, but the guy caught about 30 by accident!
i didnt realise until i got home though, but he also caught 4 Mosquito Rasboras, which the shrimp shared a tank with at the shop! also, 1 of the bigger, redder shrimp has a yellow saddle! i took out the mondo grass and just put it in the bin... i couldnt find anything to do with it:/
does anyone know anything about the Mosquito Rasbora?
so i have about 30 Red Cherry Shrimp and 4 Mosquito Rasbora.
thanks, Dan
Wow. 4 1+" fish and 30+ shrimp in under 3 gals of water is only pushing it? I'm surprised fort, but I won't argue. I will say that I certainly hope that Mr.Albiman does a little of his own research on the Boraras Brigittae and makes his own educated decision about what are the proper conditions for such a fish.
I have 2 ADFs in a 10 gallon and they constantly hunt and harass any fish I put in there with them that is slower and goes near the bottom.
I wouldn't call it 1+. They contribute almost 0 to bioload.
And I have 50 or more RCS in a 5 gal (and I have to add nitrates to keep the plants growing).
So yes, I would say it is only pushing it.
Do you have experience with them?
