This one is in the kitchen. It's an Evolve 4 that I originally put together to eventually go to the spouse's work office but he lost interest. I have a nice group of red rili in there and moved 30-40 Endlers fry to use it as a grow out tank.

Number of tanks.... I have 3 hob filtered; 3 running on sponge filters; 3 projects with no filters. Plus the Spec 5 that I'm finally starting to do some work on tonight....

Definitely my scarlet badis colony and probably some RCS.

Will scarlet badis eat the shrimp? I've been told yes but the badis are so small.

I've seen mine chase and stalk adult shrimp but never actually attack. I'm sure they eat shrimp fry though and I have scuds in the tank as well so that might make a difference.

You know they can breed together?

 

[serena00]

Theresa what do you feed your Scarlets? Mine look healthy but I have never seen them eating. They also hide a lot. also do you think this is a female?

Oh shoot... No I didn't know that. Does this mean I need to take the blueberry out of that tank?

It might be...some females have light markings, some have none.

Mine are regularly fed scuds and green water. I also buy live brine shrimp and black worms.

I'm currently trying to hatch brine shrimp but not having great luck so far!
What is green water?
