Re: [GSAS-Member] In praise of the simple sponge filter-shrimp

[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

Hi,

Well we had all of Markus' cherry red shrimp colony disappear in his new 
neat 5 gallon tank (and all of Isaak's guppy fry in his 5 gallon).

Turns out when we looked under the sponge in the aquaclear filter there 
were 3 shrimp there, one huge one as well.  I have no idea how they made 
it past the propellar.  Erik put a sponge over the intake.  Then today (5 
days later) I checked again and found another 3.....sigh, I assume they 
must of been in the system before the intake sponge got added.


Does anyone breed shrimp in a tank with an aquaclear and if so what do you 
do???

Thanks
Kathy
