Zeitgeist shrimp farm - babies are hatching!

hydrophyte · 05-24-2009, 03:45 AM

we'll be interested to hear when you start narrowing down stocking choices.

i'm surprised to see that planetinvertz.com is still in operation. i thought that they had gone under.

yeah those Sulawesi shrimp are really something when you see them in person too.

i have been collecting rainwater for a few years and using it in combination with dehumidifer water where i need softer water. rainwater is great, but it has recently proven to be inadequate, so i recently invested in an RO unit.

hmm i might just keep it a betta tank. all my money is lost into my reef :P and my betta kills everything in sight so i cant get any more fish. poooo.

You should have gotten betta embellis they're worth the higher price tag for not killing everything in sight.
Nice tank though, one of those that will only improve with age.

bettas are cool n all, but i just find the FW world so drab

lol and i needed to find this guy a home. ive had him for a while and he didnt work out in the 75 (killed two angels

) so i had to make up something tiny for him. i was gonna get shrimp but the money i made on the UV i put towards frags

doesn't it suck having two expensive hobbies

for you not so different but expensive none the less

**chase127** · 05-31-2009, 09:52 PM

i got my plant buying urges under control so freshwater is pretty cheap now. i devote my paycheck to coral and movies

invertz factory has green neons. i love green neons.

wild type bettas are cool too..... anybody know where to get tank bred healthy ones?

**ZooTycoonMaster** · 05-31-2009, 11:07 PM

10 gallon? 5.5 gallon? Either I'm blind or you didn't post a tank size

Axelrodi202 · 05-31-2009, 11:11 PM

From the size of the betta, it looks like a 5 gallon.

**chase127** · 05-31-2009, 11:15 PM

you guys are both wrong, the betta was mutated through a series of steroids OD's. its a 56 gallon. jk its a 5.5

i think im gonna get some wild type bettas. i love bettas but hate having one fish so maybe some betta coccina would enjoy my acid rainwater.

**chase127** · 06-01-2009, 01:34 AM

aaah i ordered a pair of Betta Coccina

CL · 06-01-2009, 02:32 AM
