Progressions to My 5 Gallon: Run-off from "Micro fish for a 5 Gallon?"

[FreshObsessed]

Hey,

I lost a few shrimp. I felt the same. You just can't get that way. You have no clue how old it was. You have no clue if it had a disease. Doesn't necessarily mean it was your fault.

Check your paramaters, but if it was a random death, just bury it. Literally and metaphorically.

And I do love them, but they're HUGE. Lol! My ramshorns are like a microversion of that!

Thanks, man.
Sorry about your shrimp. That Spec looks freakin' awesome, bro!
Ha, yeah. I will move a few over to my 29 soon.

Thanks a bunch I stare at it for hours lol.

I really am curious now! Are there some larger/smaller versions of Ramshorns? Mine don't even approach too far past BB size.

 

[FreshObsessed]

I'll take a picture of my biggest Ramshorn for you, one sec.

 

[FreshObsessed]

My biggest Ramshorn Snail.

 

[MABJ]

That's huge! Very nice. I think mine are micro! Lol.

 

[FreshObsessed]

Lol, Maxwellag has even bigger ones. I have way too many snails in this tank.

 

[jetajockey]

They just take a while to grow. I have many around dime size but a few are nickel size.

 

[maxwellag]

Mine are quarter size.

 

[MABJ]

How'd you guys do it? mine are born grow up and die at about BB size lol!!

 

[FreshObsessed]

Mine are weird, they just float in the water.

Mine float too lol. They're just playing. They're all over. But one is usually playing in the filter flow

 

[FreshObsessed]

So how should I stock the rest of this tank besides RCS?

I really like the chili rasboras, saw them at my LFS and they are awesome, bright red and rather small size

Idk if I have room for another school with 5 CPDs, and tons of Snails.

Yeah I know you don't. Your stocking would be done. Lol. Maybe you could pull off one or two dwarf Cajun crayfish.

I was looking at a Scarlet Badis, just 1. For the tank to fully stock it.

 

[Freakgecko91]

No shrimp?

 

[FreshObsessed]

Of course there will be shrimp.

I'm not sure how the badis would enjoy the CPDs. They're both skittish species.
