Are you from Canada by any chance? If so I might be interested.

Perfect. I'll contact you when I'm ready. Thanks a bunch.

I'm going to wait a couple of weeks. This month is off to a bad start. I'll put some decorations and subtrate that I want in the 5 gal into the 10 gal till I'm ready to start over. Thanks for all the info. bs6749 do you always have shrimp available? Really considering buying from you.

Mgamer, I'm glad you couldn't see my face when I read the second sentence of your post.:p I'm sure if was rather funny. I figured it was the bacteria in the water that you wanted. bs6749, Thanks for the offer and I'll definitle consider it. I havn't found anyone near me that sell them yet.

I got my 5 gallon last week. I did a water change in my 10 gal and put it in the 5 gal. Is this considerred a cycled tank? I bought one of the Smallworld Pump and Filter Kits from Walmart. Will it be enough for a shrimp tank or should I bring it back and get and Aqua Clear? How long should I...

Don't dwarf shrimp grow to be about 1.5 inches? Can a zebra hunt that down?

I think I'll try the Amanos then. Hopefully I can get that 5 gal and do a shrimp tank later on. Thanks for the help. :D

Thanks Nippy I might be able to get a hold of a 5 gallon from a friend, and will hopefully be able to put them in there. Then if I can breed the I'll try them in the 10 gal. I want red crystal or red cherry shrimp. I have to drive 2 hours to get them so I have to plan this out. And do I need...

I have a 10 gal. with 5 zebras and one live plant along with some fake plants. I also have a piece of wood I found at a local beach. Lately I've been wanting some shrimp to help control the algae, and I have some questions. Would I get away with about 5 shrimp along with my zebras? What type of...

A friend of mine with a 55 gal took my algae eater. The Wal mart around here doesn't sell snails anymore. That was what I was going to get initialy. Nearest pet shop that I know of is a least 1:30 hours away.

The stripe is rather smooth and the fins are clear. When I got him I figured he'd grow a lot more slowly than he is. I figured I'd have at least 6 months before I had to get rid of him.

The tag just said algae eater. I'm pretty sure its a siamese based on google search. Its got a light bottom, a black stripe in the middle, and a copperish colored top.

They all seem happy too me. They are usually very active and have a healthy appetite, except my cory. But aren't they less active fish anyways? I change about half the water once a week. Thanks for all the input.

It is an AquaClear filter. I buy the little bags of stuff, not the sheets you buy at wallmart. Is having a over stocked aquarium bad due to stress caused to the fish, or lack of oxygen in the tank. Would an air pump help? The tank is never in direct sunlight. I live in Manitoba, Canada.

I don't know much about filters. I just use the one the tank came with. I don't know anyone that wants my algae eater and I really don't want to off him. I'll think of something. Come to think of it I do have a problem with algae growth. Any tips on how I can get that off of the plants...
