Looks sweet, and I love the shrimp

good luck in TOTM btw

I can't quite believe an assasin snail could kill a shrimp. Have you ever tried prodding one before? They move like lighting...snails don't.

 

[bae1994]

oh well id rather be safe than sorry since i spent 20 pound on the 6 shrimp and 1.50 on the snail id rather give it to my brother for his tank

 

[Curiosity101]

Lol, fair enough. I'm about to shell out £90 on 10 shrimp so I feel your pain. If anything happens to them I'll be devastated.

It looks really nice by the way, and definitely some good picture for a £20 camera!

 

[bae1994]

holy what and how many shrimp you getting for that (nosey i know)

and yeah its kinda scary that i paid 1 pence more for my shrimp (admitadly my cam was off ebay)

 

[Curiosity101]

That's not even the worst part lol.

That would be 10 CRS S+ Grade £8.99 a head (not including postage).
And then I'm getting 10 Blue Tigers at £12.99 a head (again not including postage).

My birthday is coming up, I just got a pay rise and I'm downgrading/ selling up with my large tank. It's going to hurt, but it'll be worth it in the long run.

 

[bae1994]

ah cool it sounds daft but are my shrimp cbs (cyrstal bee shrimp) / or other thats what they were called in the shops

if so can you tell what grade (im guessing pretty low as they were only 3.50 a shrimp but still

 

[Curiosity101]

CBS = Crystal black shrimp
CRS = Crystal red shrimp

Yes they are crystal reds, and I'd say they're A grade ish. So 3.50 is a fair price from what I've seen

what kind of plant is that in the picture with the shrimp.
They are very beautiful shrimp. I love mine, but with my huge tank they get lost and i never end up seeing them.

 

[bae1994]

i cant remember the name but p@h sells it its a easy care plant tho


also thanks curiosity

It looks very good. As for the plant, looks like a lymnophyla species, or at least the tip of it. Maybe cabomba?

The shrimp are pretty sweet, I wouldn't take any chances with them either.

llj

 

[bae1994]

thanks the plant is just a piece that i snipped off the tip of the main plant in my other tank

 

[demasonisrule]

god you people spend a lot on shrimp, I'd get 5 and let 'em breed.

Ha, I thought that plant was fake What is the name of it? I'm trying to find something cool as a centerpeice

Any updates?
