Well hello all, OP here is back for another update.
Just bought another 40B at petco dollar per gallon sale.
Hoping it replaces at least 3 smaller tanks, amd allows for some tank shuffling.
Truly wanting to be rid of large aggressive cichlids by the beginning of fall, and settledon into nice calm and quite community setups.
RCS finally bred for me after nearly a year, dozens of babies.
Mts population has skyrocketed,rabbit snails finally reproduced.
Considering maybe selling my current setup (40 breeder and stand) to help me purchase a C02 kit for my new setup, whichever one I go with. still not sure yet.
Setup two 20Gallon Highs in our bathroom on an iron stand. Have them cycling at the moment. The two otos I have in my 5.5G at work decided to spawn and now I have itty bitty fry clinging to the glass.
New stufffor me, I've decided to start doing micro scapes in tiny containers.
Also I've fallen in love with meijer's plants, 5 bucks got 7 narrow leaf java fern clusters and 60+ 16inch rotala stems.
Time for some rescaping, mini/micro scaping and a ton of W/C's.
Yeah that'd be nice, but ah well. Thanks anyways. I decided to just put the 40 breeder up on craigslist. I'm just gonna keep the 75 and set it up sometime in the future when I'm not on such a tight budget.
Tom in Warren here. I just picked up a 125 gallon that will be a planted tank. Planted tanks are new to me, so I'm still researching information. Hope to have it up and running in a couple of weeks.
Also have two 55 gallon discus tanks and a couple of 29 gallon tank with discus fry growing out (bought the juvies online).
Sold my 195ga reef tank and equipment to fund getting back into freshwater. It's been about 20 years since I had a freshwater tank. Always had oscar's and dempsey's.
So recently rejoined the looking for work party, in my free time I'm condensing multiple tanks into on 55 gallon. Considering craigslisting the small stuff, recoup some fish food funds maybe.
Hoping to surprise the Woman in my life by setting up the Cube I bought her for christmas, and having it ready when she gets home. Beautiful 7.5 tank absolutely the clearest untinted glass tank we own. Thinking shrimp soil from Amazon, and a few small lava rock pieces, solid black substrate and hardscape make plants and critters POP. She needs a pick me up after today.
Hoping to get started on photo practice, and maybe posting pics I promised months years, ago.

Bump: Also still seeking low end shrimps in the area, by low end I mean easier and cheaper.
culls would be awesome if available.
My local has rarely stocked, but when they do, 2-5 bucks a pop, Preuss is like 12.99 in Lansing, and Moby Dick's in waterford had the best looking and priced commercially like 2-15 but a large variety and different types.
preuss had some types, but same quality throughout.
I'm looking more in the, "these guys would make my colony look drab" feeder type RCS as these are the bullet proof ones, and I'd buy limited amounts of full reds to breed into, over time adding only pure reds one or two at a time due to cost to increase over all colony quality.
Would love to find a breeder who sells culls, or feeder grade cherries near me, but might have to drive out a bit to get some.
Also, since I'm on here, I'm considering putting in applications for various chain stores, so i can try and be helpful to the community of petowners, and maybe even an LFS or two just to see if they'd hire me.
The ones I purchased at Kees said they were grade A cherry shrimp. I also bought some really nice ones on ebay awhile back that were amazing color and I got like 12 of them for 30 bucks or so.
Well not so much... I got married in the past 4 months and now, since were living at my house with my father and it's quite a small house, I may have to tear down my current 75 for a smaller tank to save some room for now.
I have a 40 breeder setup for over 2 years now with mostly Anubias, some crypts, mosses, and different bulbs. Overstocked with guppies, mts snails, and trying to start a colony of shrimps.
