yeah i know i meant a whole combo. but separate.

[ometh]

ah ok.

[R_sustaita]

yeah. i think this weekend ill have some shrimplets and my current filter will suck them up.

[ometh]

i was actually reading about that yesterday. glad i went with the sponge.

[R_sustaita]

yeah, i have 3 females berried but i have only seen one with the eggs to be so clear i can see the little guys there. monday will be 2 weeks since i got them and they take 4 weeks to hatch. when i got them all 3 were berried. i need a pleco or something to clean my glass its full of algae on the main tank

[Ca Nguyen]

nice tank, how big is it? i spotted 4 in the video

[Ca Nguyen]

never mine, i saw the 2.5 in video. that's great. i got a 2.5 for holding some cherry shrimps too. these guys live here permanently and i only take them out for a couple weeks to test water in any new tank i build. some had started breeding. but i find that they don't grow too big in 2.5 gallon. best grow them in a bigger tank and move them there for display.

[R_sustaita]

i have them on a 3.5 soon they will be moved to a 10g when i set the 29g as my angels are growing so big and so nice. they have add so much color they are nice.

Sustaita in case they hatch before you can get a filter, just cut a peice of pantyhose or something similar, cover the intake and hold in place with a rubber band

[R_sustaita]

Oh thank you. I just shut it off, i will get a panthhose tomorrow.

[Totenkampf]

oh well LFS good luck. I know theirs a store out in Humble (off of 1960 lil past the mall) its a lil store but, the lady sell the same exact ones I have I think.

is the new place open already? i havent been over there since blue reef closed

[ometh]

yea it's been open for like 3 months now i believe. she doesn't have much right now but, she's slowly building up.

otocinclus are the best for algae on the glass and they are small so twice as good for shrimp tanks. i am using a filter media bag over my intake now and it seems to be doing well although i am just now getting berried females so i have yet to see if it keeps the shrimplets off of the suction. if you are mixing RCS with snowballs then be aware that they are the same genus so they will cross breed. that may be not be a big deal to you but important to note if you ever give them away or share stock with someone else.
