Breeding FW shrimp ?

Posted on November 7, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I’ve decided I’m going to use my 10 gallon to breed freshwater shrimp. Now I’m wondering what kind of shrimp to breed, and need some info on how to go about doing it. I was thinking about crystal reds, but they’re a bit expensive. Cherry reds, on the other hand, seem too cheap and not worth breeding. Another option I was considering are yellow shrimp. What kind of shrimp would be easy to breed, and make a little money too? I’d also love any info on how to breed them, proper tank setup, etc. Links would be nice. Thanks in advance

I want to add an anemone to my salt water tank… Can you help?

Posted on December 4, 2010 by admin| 8 Comments

My setup is a 55-gallon saltwater tank, set to about 78-degrees. Current residents include a percula, a cinnamon clown, a few damsels, a coral beauty angel, and a snail and a shrimp. I have a standard hood and would prefer not to add metal halide or other specialized lights, if possible. Can anyone suggest any species of anemone that would work well (colorful would be nice, but not a dealbreaker)? Anything special I should know in terms of care and feeding? Any particular dangers to my current tank setup?

Hi. I have a 10 gallon freshwater tank that currently resides 3 male gups and a ghost shrimp. I wanna add more now that the tanks been through all of it’s cycles, but I’m not quite decided how I should balance it out. You guys got any ideas?
Oh I got plants and like I said it is already cycled out. To be honest I already had all this reasearch done and many ideas, but then I got the gups for my birthday so I couldn’t just say no. (I wanted a school of tetras). Plus I can’t really get rid of them and don’t want to kill them… So I guess I should just go for an all gup tank (add females)?
