Re: [GSAS-Member] Phil's shrimp

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

I know when I got my red cherry shrimp from Susan W. she suggested using
salts in the water. It was only when I got lazy and stopped using those
salts that they started breeding (weak grin). I toss in some cuttlebone
bits on a regular basis but that's about it.

Right now they are breeding best in a 29g tank that is moderately planted,
with Endler's, otocinclus, a couple orange hatchetfish, and Botia
sidthimunki! Who would have guessed they'd even have survivors from babies
released in THAT tank ?!?!?! The Endler's fry predator female Betta passed
away after about ~3-4 years just last week. I toss in flake food and some
bottom feeder tabs on a daily basis but that's about it....half the time
the biowheel filter gets clogged and there's no filtration. I do
half-hearted waterchanges periodically (when I need water for the plants
out in the hallway).
