Invert chat, <3 spineless critters.

[Sake]

Okay just did a body count I ordered 10 RCS I got 10 alive (none were dead) 9 red 1 clear, ordered 5 assassin snails, i got 6 alive (once again none died), ordered 3 MTS (she gave them to me for free) 5 alive. And some subwussertang or however ya spell it, a decent amount for free (for the shrimp to hold onto) <3 invertsbymsjinkzd.com

Jraynm, that is what this thread is about (and hopefully new section soon!) I can't help you with the sunfish question but anyone who has a question feel free to ask don't worry about interrupting us.

Hi guys . My wormer treatment should arrive soon for my dwarf puffers ( dps) it is called kusuri wormer it's safe for snails but no mention of inverts will it be ok with my amano shrimp or should I move it ? Has any one used this before ?

Sorry to interrupt and I asked about this in another thread but figured there might be someone here that might know.

I am in the planning stages of a new tank. 10 gallon heavily planted with low light plants.
I want to have a RCS/ Pygmy Sunfish tank
So my question is will they work well together? Anyone have experience with this?
Thanks! And sorry for the interruption

Hey there! Please look for maxwellag. Not only is he a great fish keeper, he has a setup with pygmy sunfish. He can tell you lots

 

[JryanM]

Okay thanks! He has helped me out a lot! I was just wondering of more ppl had tried this.
Thanks for the help!

I wouldn't put shrimp with a DP. Sorry I can't answer the question :/ thought you should know, tho.

I'm ordering mine soon her price is so reasonable lol. My tank is just beautiful. Very ready I think. I know some leaves are dying but I hope it doesnt cause a huge spike in ammonia.

Yeah I know that the dps could have made a meal of him that why I got what I thought was a ( feeder shrimp) at the time . If he was ok then he was to clean up left over food . They don't bother him they have each other and loads of plants! Dp either eat it or leave it alone . They only eat b/w I have tried rams snails and frozen prawns they won't touch them. If they start to chase him I will move but I was planing on getting more shrimp friends .

Thanks everyone. I'll try the trap method and see if i can get them under control.

I had a puffer who was ok with shrimp who were there first, then I added more. Phew. He massacred them all lol.

But good luck

Drip acclimation of Assassin Snails

Snails are tuff as hell u could of just dumped them in. My mts snails lived in a jar for 2 monthes with no food or light and now there all fine

 

[Sake]

Assassin snail! Can't wait to witness a slow speed pursuit! lol

 

[MABJ]

Oh wow!!! Congrats! They're beautiful lol. We're going to have shrimp cousins lol.

I can't believe you got yours first >__<

Again! Awesome looking snails.

Aren't you nervous they'll take out an MTS or two?

I want an assassin snail but I don't want to cause issue with my nerite :|... Hmmm

 

[Sake]

Thank you! I'm debating on running up to the LFS and getting a few more....It seems you're ready pretty much you'll have yours before ya know it.

Can assassin snails kill corys?

 

[jetajockey]

Pygmy sunfish and rcs might work for a while but inevitably fails. Ive tried it a few times, and they wont usually outright kill adults but you aren't likely to see any babies.

 

[MABJ]

No they wont kill Corys.

And there's the answer on the Sunfish question lol.

 

[Richie1RCS]

Can assassin snails kill corys?

No only snails and dead fish
