Lol! :whistle:

I'll have to check them out myself. I fired up an 11 tank rack and still have a few to stock.

I haven't researched the greens that much. I do know the chocolate's don't breed true but as you know. Neither do the rili's. I have a colony of carbon's which are great. I would either do the green's or carbon's.

Yeah, would say that's a sakura grade. I would cull anything that has less color than that one. If your diligent about culling. your color will improve over time. Once that start breeding of course.

Excellent! Crossing my fingers for you!

My 20L shrimp tank.

Raok or call a lfs see if you can get store credit.

Do you dose ferts? If your tank is heavily planted. It should be processing those nitrates down. Did you check your readings daily after the water change? If so, you should get a good picture of how long it takes your system to process the nitrates. If it's not dropping over a week after the...

Shrimp only mate after a mature fully saddled female molts. She will release a pheromone which triggers the males. This is usually called the "dance" because all the shrimp basically go crazy swimming all round. Lots of activity. Once the male finds and mates with the female. Then she will move...
