Loving the sexy shrimp on the frogspawn.

Thanks guys! She hasn't found the piece in the tank yet, it's kind of like she moved from a mansion to a small shack haha poor girl.

The larger acan is about the largest they will get but they multiply heads and spread outwards. I believe they are pretty easy to frag too

 

[Rscomia]

Thats cool are they easy to take care of? I think I want to get some

Awesome! How did you determine the shrimp's sex?

 

[0o.Kelsey.o0]

Yes, I believe the acans are pretty easy to care for

I've been researching and from what I've found the female sexy shrimp is larger than the males and she will have a more rounded body and also her bands on the tail should be broken, not a solid white band. She is definitely very large for a sexy shrimp and has the broken bands so I'm sure it's a girl.

Things are looking great Kelsey! How about an overall picture of the tank now!

Alright the last of the photos:

Sexy shrimp in tank

frogspawn

maybe better pic of birdsnest

polyps and ricordea, the ricordea is being very difficult and does not want to attach to the rock, hence why it is covered in elastic bands lol. The polyps are mostly open now but I had the light out so they closed.

my nassarius snail

One of my two cowries, both covered and uncovered

Thanks! I'll get a new tank photo tomorrow, I turned the lights out to make the sexy shrimp feel more comfortable.

 

[Purevil21]

Cool, I will be looking forward to the pictures!

What kinda frogspawn is that?

What kinda frogspawn is that?

Actually I'm not too sure, I bought it originally as a hammer coral but I think it looks much more like a frogspawn, it never quite forms the hammer shaped tips. People were asking this on my nano video on youtube as well and someone posted this:
"Actually recently discovered frogspawn and hammer coral are both Euphyllia. So it makes sense for there to be hybrids."

Tank looks great kelsey! I love what youre doing! Waiting for the full tank shot as well.

 

[0o.Kelsey.o0]

Alright full tank shot, nothing special since everything is pico sized hehe

As you can see (maybe) the sexy shrimp found her frogspawn on the left side of the tank there.

I also added an orange ricordea, I split this one in half

And I added a small (polyp sized) hitchhiker anemone, we got two of these on our new LR so I broke off the smaller of the two to put in my pico for further examination.

Looking good!!

 

[Dylan5359]

Looks great!!

 

[0o.Kelsey.o0]

Thanks I'm very excited to get my fish in here! At least my one sexy shrimp will liven the place up a tad, the other sexy shrimps should be ordered soon too hopefully.

 

[Fotopoulos]

Coming along great Kelsey! Live the new additions.

Ps. Photobucket worked for me! I am going to take some more pictures when the tank wakes up! Posted a couple I had on my phone...

 

[0o.Kelsey.o0]

I'll go look now!
