What's scary is I started with 14 in my RCS tank the last week of Sept ... So I've quadrupled the population in a month and a half. Hopefully I'll be able to $ell a couple to some LFS's. To say I wasn't expecting this so soon is an understatement.
I though cockroaches breed like mad ... These RCS are putting roaches to shame!

Sounds like you guts are over run with shrimp. Anyone want to sell any? I'd like 15-ish of the rcs or crs. Send me a pm if interested.

Thanks!

220 gallon shrimp tank? wowza!

Just for the record, angelwings, RCS and CRS are very different. RCS stands for Red cherry shrimp, CRS stands for Crystal Red shrimp, They have very different care requirements.

Ah thanks! I didn't realize they had such different care requirements. I've had red cherry shrimp before and loved them.

Post Your Shrimp Tanks! :)

I have recently got into keeping shrimp and I'm really enjoying them so far.. I'd love to see what AA members have and the tank setups. Post your pics!

Mine isn't as pretty as everyones here. It has been fully set up for about a week (meaning with the shrimp and plants in it). It is a 5.5 gallon and has RCS.

Not too hard! I did a write-up on setting up and maintaining a shrimp tank: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums...nk-238178.html

Nice write-up Bud! It should be a sticky on the inverts section... Oh I just checked your threads, didn't even realize you started a post your shrimp tank pics thread like this... We should consolidate the threads and keep them going!

Anyway, care to share some pics of your shrimp tank(s)?
