The one next to the male is a female...that's why i have the line from it going up to the females...sorry for the confusion. It is a female, i can tell by the body shape. Females are plump looking and males are sleek in appearance.

Oh, okay no I am sorry for not understanding I must be tired as it is 10:20 PM :P
Thanks for clarifying that though. Would I be able to keep some guppies in with the shrimp or would it be preffered if I just fed them to my turtle?
Goodnight! It is getting late and I have school tomorrow so I'm gonna hit the hay

Just feed them to your turtle. They'd pick off shrimp fry undoubtedly.

That's what I thought I want all shrimp anyways to be on the safe side

[RESGuy]

That's right, even MORE pictures








And a video I did by mistake lol It's like 2 seconds but whatever

[NeonShrimp]

Temp is 70*F, that is good if it is steady. Also, you fish swims, lol

Plant UPDATE:I went to my LFS called Exotic Aquariums which is supposed to be one of the top 80 in the U.S. And it was awesome! They had a tank with a vast variety of plants including Java Ferns, Java Moss, Aponogeton (the plant not the bulbs), Anubias, Swords etc. So I was tempted of course :P And I ended up buying some Anarchis at $1.99 and a plant that they had as "Bunch Plant" also at $1.99 I will get some pictures on soon. The tank looks really cool with the plants in. But the water is getting pretty cloudy, I hope I get the filter soon ....

lookin good there. you would probably like the feeder guppies from my lfs, 80% of them are colored more than yorus and some have really long tails and unique fins. i hate it though because it's usually the males and they're small and skinny, doesn't make for good turtle food. fat females are good eats.

i really like aponogetons so i'm looking forward to seeing yours when they uh... bloom?..

i don't know if it was addressed but.. what are the leaves for? i'm not really diggin the look because it reminds me of a dirty yard. unless that's the look you're going for haha. also since the tank is early it's not a big problem, but the 5 different types of rocks kind of clash with eachother. no biggy though if they'll get covered with moss or java ferns.

bit off topic but how are your RES doing? i miss mines, i had 10 or so. now i only have stinkpots, which are so much better than RES

The leaves will be RCS food. They can pick at it all they want without you having to take them out at a certain point.

Cool, I saw some Fancy Guppies at an LPS (it is more like an LFS though) and they had a them at 2 for $5. They look really cool, but I am not planning on buying them lol
And my Aponogeton is doing very well it has a new leaf that has grown thicket than the others, but it is a bit brown, hope it doesn't die .
I am sorry for not telling you about the leaves. They are to grow micro-organisms that the shrimp will eat (free food ).
I actuallly like the look of 5 different rocks But when the Java Moss and Java Ferns go in you probably won't see them much

And my RES is doing great in his/her 55 gallon tank It has been a bit more than a year since I got it and it has doubled in size and now is 3 inches in length. Thanks for asking, maybe I'll make a new topic with some pics of the tank and of my RES.

Exactly

Just FYI, I saw your post in the RCS temperature thread. Someone said their temps are about 78*F and their shrimp are always reproducing.

PetSmart has a $5 off $15 coupon that expires today. I'm gonna go pick up a Visi-Therm Stealth heater....go grab one too! =)

[NeonShrimp]

Thanks for the heads up on that

Darn I wish I would've been home today to see this I was at someone elses house all day and missed this. Oh well. I'll see how breeding goes, if they do no breed I will add a heater But thanks for letting me know anyways
