Looky, looky, what I got :)

This will be the home to my beloved BKK, once it warms up in February to have them shipped.

Will update with scape progress :)

BKK are 325-400 a piece.

Getting them from my Supplier in Canada

No, I am not going to add a second light as of yet, but I may.

No co2 AT ALL.

There are some tricks to raising BKK that I know of. They are hard shrimp to keep, but if you know the tricks, then you are golden :)

Randall went to 6th ave for me to pick one up. I am getting it from his house on Saturday :)

He got the last 2 they had for 70 bucks a piece ^_^

How are you guys getting imports from Canada, two people I have contacted said they can't ship to the U.S. is that the official rule and I just need to find someone who will bend it? haha, they seem to have nice livestock up there eh?
Depends on the person. Mine will ship.

Its so cool that someone like yourself (Master shrimp keeper lol ) Is buying one of these. It will probably turn a lot of people on into buying one. The only down side is that your tank is probably going to make mine look bad :p

Check out my mod for not letting shrimp get into the filter....just put some pantyhose over the whole filter (I couldnt find black ones so I used maroon looking ones lol. )



I suggest doing it after your tank has cleared up a little to prevent any reducing of flow...


Also, check this out. anyone else on this thread with an ebi can join too.

The EBI is a really cool tank! I love mine, the only regret I have is not buying two of them. LOL
I have heard of the background coming loose, but mines been setup for 2 months and everything looks fine.
BBK kingdom is going to be awesome!

And drumroll..........
