Rummy nose might eat them. It's just, I have cardinals in my 29 gallon planted tank with RCS. I look, but I haven't seen any shrimplets.

I was cleaning the L-46 juvy tank and moving a piece of wood around. Once in awhile, I lift it up to remove any food that might be caught underneath it and suck them up. I guess I might have been careless and maybe dropped the corner of the wood on the tail of a juvy. The next day, I saw the tail po...

If the population is getting too much, just put some cardinals, which should eat the baby shrimps.

Actually, I started with about 10 RCS in each tank. It took about 2 years for the population to get noticed. Having a planted tank made it difficult to see a majority of them. Only during feeding time did I see how many shrimps I had, since they would all gather for the feeding frenzy. Females are u...

I don't really keep track. I know I sold allot from both tanks over the summer. I left maybe about 50 in each tank (29 gallon and 20 gallon long). They looked scarce back then, but now they are starting to get their numbers up. I say by next summer, I should have enough to sell again. As far as catc...

I agree. I keep RCS with my zebras as well. Everytime the shrimps start over populating, I sell them off. I also feed some to my fish in my 125 gallon tank (discus, angels, clown loaches).

A clearer closeup pic. Also, what size is it?

Yeah, no prob. The mid and top portion will just look empty.

Depends on the dimensions. If you intend to be an L-046 only tank, then a tall tank isn't required. You can probably go with a tank with the same length and width, but just as tall.

I wouldn't really care if I got F1, F2, etc. zebras. Just as long as I know they are from different bloodlines.

I know a local breeder that had his zebras that are over 16 years old by now. When I saw them before, they look like fine zebras. Now when I saw them, their stripes are no longer straight. They are still spawning.

Curious why overseas? There are allot of domestic breeders in the USA.

I'm assuming Fe is Iron, what is Leitw?

Sorry to hear about the loss. I hope it wasn't a dominant male.

Thanks
