I'm not using coral chips on my 2nd tank. When i started using salty shrimp 8,5, do have casualties. (my itchy hands!!)
I saw you having Mambo Bee. how long have you been keeping it?

**seudzar** · 4th Feb 2013, 15:24

Not sure if it is mambo bee or blue berry. Only been keeping it for a month.

**KaedeGwen** · 9th Jul 2013, 16:41

Keeping them too! 2 red lines and a couple of cardinal surviving, cardinal just berried! Tank is around 2 months.
No luck with blue leg poso at all! So puzzled, thought they are supposed to be hardier type? *scratch head*
Bee, gold flakes, all died..

surprised at my surviving 2 red lines..

Grab whatever I see at Y618 to top up my colony every few other weeks. Sigh.

Maybe you want to share with us how is your tank setup like? Maybe we can help you to see what is wrong.

**seudzar** · 10th Jul 2013, 13:18

Is your tank crowded?

Hi, I kept indostomus paradoxus before and noticed it eating my shrimplets(red cherry) and quickly removed it from my tanks.. So becareful with the fish!

Ooops.... Thanks...! But if I were to catch them out, I have to tear down the whole tank. Zzzzz

I must say NICE PICTURES, as always!
I see my favourite shrimp, 6-banded

Currently my tank is doing okay after three major problem, hair algae overgrown, planaria and ramshorn snail population exploded.
My F2 Cardinals are growing bigger, hope they will breed soon

Cherries wont be able to survive. u can try sulawesi snails instead? They are hardier than sulawesi shrimps, so if the snails die, it is not ready yet.
