[Mr. Appleton]

Just dropped into the LFS today and they unexpectedly had some CRS for sale.

Couldn't resist and picked up a few for the tank at home. What grade do you think they are? These guys looked much better than what I usually see at the LFS around here.

This is just a few minutes after putting them in my tank... hoping they'll color up even better in the next few days!

SSS. How much did you pay?

 

[Mr. Appleton]

Just under $5 per shrimp.

They weren't all the same grade... but I picked out the ones that looked nice to me

[Mr. Appleton]

Haha. I've been thinking just that. Maybe on Sunday I'll go back and pick through them for the remaining SSS ones

Mr. Appleton can you post a full pic of your tank im curious now
Also what's that white mesh stuff to the right of that first pic?

 

[Mr. Appleton]

kuro: Haha. It was at Skipton's. I should get a finder's fee I also bought 5 for that price. Hopefully they'll start breeding soon!

Otto: the white mesh is plastic canvas that I'm using to make mats of fissidens. I'll post a FTS later when I get home.

Mr. Appleton - You wouldn't happen to be a semi-recently married Floridian with a love for kayaking would you?

Full tank pic below, I'll post a journal thread at some point.

Close-up of a few of the new (and old) CRS at feeding time.

Umm... no? Neither married, nor Floridian, been kayaking a handful of times... in my life... Try again?

Why you need a heater?

 

[Mr. Appleton]

The room temp gets quite cold in the winter. Just preparing in case. It's actually not plugged in

Any other suggestions/advice would be appreciated!
