Amit, My condolence!! The rams were next on my list!! First of all probably you want to make sure that the shrimps are gone - I had 3 such shrimps in my 10 Gallon tank and I haven't seen them until the day I teared it down. Also they are not supposed to be such an easy catch - they are damn fast... Anyway - could share some experience regarding introducing Rams, Clown loaches, discus and apistos to a tank? I care not only for the shrimps but also for the eggs of the corydoras etc. A very annoying issue, Aviel. -----Original Message----- From: owner-aga-member@thekrib.com [mailto:owner-aga-member@thekrib.com] On Behalf Of Amit Brucker Sent: Sunday, February 29, 2004 11:27 PM To: aga-member@thekrib.com Subject: [AGA Member] My biggest tragedy ever.... Well yes you might tag me along as one of the Amano shrimps fans.... Yesterday was a great day for introducing my eight new rams to my 100 gallon planted tank. The tank hosted 25 cardinals 3 flying foxes and yes - twenty beautiful Amano shrimps which did a wonderful maintenance clean job!!! All new rams were introduced to the tank yesterday and it all seemed perfect! Today, after coming back from work, I couldn't find the shrimps.... any where. they are all gone. poof However the rams are beautiful and I can see one pair already getting ready to lay their eggs. (Who wouldn't after such a meal....) I never thought this could happen (stupid me....) thoughts: 1. Should I remove the rams and get some new Shrimps ? 2. Should I introduced only a few rams at the beginning ? 3. Is there a point of trying to introducing some new rams after all - No! So sad :-( Any thoughts ??? 10x Amit Brucker --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please send mail to majordomo@thekrib.com with "Unsubscribe aga-member" in the body of the message.
