It’s usually like 7.8+ but I have a buffering substrate that makes it like 7-7.4

That’s the thing the ph is like 6.5-7.5 and people say they can live in harder water

I have Neocaridina parameters and would like to get some orange eyed blue tiger shrimp. Has anyone had any experience keeping them in a higher ph or neo parameters?

I was thinking of getting blue dream but I have dark substrate and it appears that blue velvet are lighter so I would be able to see them way easier. I also like the red rili. Do the red rili have blue ish bodies? I’ve seen some that do and some that don’t. I would be getting them from either...

I want to order some shrimp and I’m looking at a few places. I like billyboiaquatics and I’m interested in blue dream, jade, and red rili shrimp. Anyone ordered these from him or just ordered from him in general?

Yea it’s not bad. The cash is nice tho

Definitely. One store only gives cash (which it very nice) but gives less and one gives store credit but a little more.

Yes I’ve sold fish and snails before. But they are selling them for $5 a piece so I should get $1.50-$2 a piece according to previous Times they bought from me

Same! I would be able to sell the shrimp for the same price I think since they are sold at the same prices at my lfs but they blue dreams are more expensive online

I wish I could!! The thing is Ik the shrimp will interbreed and will revert to wild type :(

I’m torn!! I saw both at my lfs and they are beautiful. The one thing tho is that I have black substrate and a black background so it would maybe be hard to see the blue shrimp. The blue ones are also more expensive. Anyone have experience with both? Are they any different other than colors...

Ok thanks

I’m going to order some painted fire red shrimp from aquatic arts and I also want to buy some rams horn snails. They have pink and blue ones. The least I can get for the blue is 3. How many pink should I get? Is 2 enough? I will be putting both in shrimp tanks. Do I have to separate or will they...

Ok. Thanks for the help

Would you mind sending a pic of the pfr?

Ok cool. What shrimp did you get?

I have a 15 gallon tank and it is cycled and ready for shrimp. I used seeded media so it’s been cycled for about a week or so. I want to get some painted fire red shrimp. I was going to order from eBay but I did a little more research and it’s the same price from aquatic arts. Anyone ordered...

Welp. My ebjd just died :(. There are bigger problems than aggression in this tank.

True but they don’t have that instinct. I know they aren’t “community” fish as they get way too big but my fish isn’t aggressive at all. Like I said he could easily go after a tetra or a kribensis who takes up the same spaces of the tank. I never said their dna was stripped I was saying how the...

No trust me many people have said they grow extremely slow. They are also not like regular jds either

Jack Dempsey. Trust me he isn’t aggressive. 2 stores that know what they are talking about have said that they are bred so far down the rabbit hole that they aren’t like regular jd. there’s things also take YEARS to get 8 inches

How long ago?

But this is an electric blue. It hasn’t grown at all in the 3 months I’ve had it. It’s been bred so deep it’s not aggressive. Have y’all ever kept one? Mine is chilllllll. He’s with rummy nose tetras and he could easily eat one if he tried

Ok. What fish is not appropriate

They dead…

No I mean o pics of what?

How can I show you pictures?

I understand. It doesn’t make sense to me how they were fine for 3 months?? Have you ever kept a ebjd? Literal community fish as they have been bred into the ground for the electric trait

So about 3 weeks ago I got a blue zebra angel and he was tiny. Was doing fine for a few days and randomly he was dead one day. I had 2 other juvenile angels but one was double his size and the other was about 3x as big. None of them were picking on him. I have dwarf neon rainbows, rummy nose...

I’ve already done it as you can see. I made sure to check the bucket after and I actually did find another baby but I got all them out hopefully

They were in the bucket I drip acclimated them in last night. I drained water out and poured in the acclimation water and now I see some shrimplets!

Lol. We weren’t saying the same thing. Only difference is that my used material has gunk on it which is waste and why I get an instant cycle. Bingo!

We have to wait for essjay first. Can’t make a big argument like this and just quit, can we?

Nice try. I was proving how your statement was wrong and how you your self proved that

:rofl: Ummm…no lol. U we’re trying to say how by just adding media and NOT waste, you would get nitrates. Do you not know what the whole point of this conversation/argument is?

They are so tiny it’s impossible to even see them sometimes

So I got a berried orange Sakura shrimp and a male at my lfs. I didn’t have a tank for them so I put them in a breeder box. Well turns out the female had the babies bc I drip acclimated them to their own tank last night and today I looked in the bucket with the water from the drip acclamation...

I- i- I’m proving your point wrong Lol. No food = no growth. So to answer your question, no you will not cycle a tank without waste(food) for the bacteria
