does the Viagra come in sinking pellet form

I have had cherry shrimp for over 4 months, with weekly water changes, temperature about 78, in a 10 gallon tank, with heavy amounts of java moss. I still do not see any babies ? Bad luck I guess. There is at least 3 full grown females and many males of various sizes. Suggestions?

Hi, I was wondering what the humidity is like in there? Are you doing anything to compensate for that?

Ok keep me posted as this is also the first time I have had them Thanks

how big are cherry shrimp when they have their first batch of eggs? How long after you notice them holding eggs, till they hatch?

Ok , Thanks hmmmmm. where to go, always never enough tanks. Those kribs you have are nice color . Did you have any of that variety at the auction?

My pelv. Pulcher are swimming around today with about 40 fry. Should I move them to a different tank? So far they seem to be protecting them, but there are a number of other tankmates. They are in a 33 with other adult kribs ,petricolas, 7" pleco and 7" syn. longevatis catfish.

Do you recommend Margarita Tours?

:thumbs: thanks

Any of the good females that I had became as you say very large for a sword then would become less active and then die. I would say life span of only 1.5 to 2 years tops.

nice fish....

It's not about cheap fish, but rather is it worth bringing fish back or just going for the experience ?

Hey Toirtis,Can you tell me the costs involved for importing fish on htose trips and how many fish are you allowed? Thanks TK.

hey Toirtis, Can you tell me what the import costs involved are and how many fish you are allowed? Thanks TK.

Het Qattarra can you tell me where a battery powered air pump is available. I don't recall seeing one. I am assuming it would have not been ment for aquariams?

I had swords for a lot of years and from your description I would say they are at or near the end of their life cylcle---unfortunatley

Has anyone been on a tropical fish collecting trip to the amazon or other areas etc. If so, what is it like, good/bad or otherwise. Pros/cons prices etc. Or does anyone know of a repuatle site to checkout for this?

Hi, I have been a guest on this site for a few years now. I just finally signed in this January. My username (kona) is our pet dog, a boxer. I am from Lloydminster, we have 7 tanks running totaling 190+gallons.I have been to 3 of the auctions in the last few years, I find it interesting to go and see what others are raising and selling and also to buy a few to bring home. I find this forum very helpful in learning and answering questions that may arise.

I have a 7" redbelly in a 33 gallon. He has a 4" convict for a tankmate. He has survivrd many vicious attacks but since then he has healed well and knows his limits and knows where to hide. The tank is very full with live and plastic plants and ornaments this gives him lots of area to hide. But I do agree with other posts, that he may one day become a victum.

So it has been a week since I brought home cherry shrimp from the auction. I put them into a ten gallon tank that has a few floating plants, numerous ramshorn snails,couple of dwarf pleco's, 1 dwarf cory(sole survivor of5) few baby guppies and the Hara Hara catfish (came from the auction). Haven't seen the shrimp all week! So I removed a bunch of dead snail shells, removed some flat rock and some small ornaments and there we go, now I can see shrimp. Now that I know that they have survived can you tell me what the ideal tank situation for them is? They are in a 10 gallon with no subsrate and running a large sponge filter(the type like was at the last auction, I call them a Regina filter since that is the supplier's username from where I had purhased them online) I am unsure about putting them into a tank with gravel, for fear of forgetting about them and sucking them up during water changes.. Any ideas/suggestions?
