pritch33 Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 I must say very well done and congrats and no disrespect but personally I dont find the whiter shrimp atractive. I must say I prefer lower grade shrimp with there red stripes and blotches also note I dont have RCS. just a personal preference that may change over time But keep going with it, I do understand the want for something different and wish you all the best with it.

Shaun85 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I really like the look of the snow white shrimp i think they have alot of character by their look. When i sold my betta tank on ebay i had it pick up only and the guy who came and picked it up decided to call me and comment on how well i spoke to him and what not before offering me a job but refused to supply details lol, he was pretty intense and quiet freaky so thankfully i moved house 4 days after that. Quiet frankly you never know who is gonna turn out to be a weirdo :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pritch33 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Hair salon? I wonder how sensitive shrimp will go with all the fumes from chemicals? I know when I have walked into one to pick up the Mrs I find the smell very over powering at times. Sorry you lost your little white shrimp Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melbourne_betta_HM Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 It is beginning to look like a lfs lol!!!

les Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Great Tanks Hai I am going to take most of the plants out of my Cherry tank so I can enjoy them more I am going to set my Nephew up with a tank in his bedroom so do you think drift wood or ceramic caves would be better? Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne_betta_HM Posted October 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Umm.. For a full tank display purpose I think drift wood would be good with some moss attached But if u are going for a shrimp viewing go with ceramic caves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
