I moved a couple adult males to my 120gal planted tank with my rainbowfish (large adults). Over the next week I started losing some of the fish. Once I removed the red claws the deaths stopped.
think 3 of them with do OK in a 2.5g? or will it be too crowded? how about 2?
do you want one of them back?
i have a 10g, but i'm quite sure my wife will have a cow if i set it up.
i'm really quite torn.
sorry i'm rambling, lots of thoughts and different scenarios running through my head. and i'm kinda sleep-deprived. our 8-month old is down with a double ear infection and last night was a little rough.
They certainly carry more eggs than my dwarf shrimp...their young also grow faster.Do they breed fast? They sound like they get to a great size as food for my oscar, which is getting bored with ghost shrimp and crayfish babies.
I recall them holding the same number of eggs as dwarf shrimp, they just have larger eggs. Mine didn't breed as quickly as dwarf shrimp, i think they eat their offspring. As they get larger they definitely fight a lot as they rip each others claws and legs off sometimes. I used a bunch of small cut PVC pieces to make hiding places for the young.
