ehehe.. later you know.

lol so now everyone wants bugs

In my tank there are this small white creature in a group size is like a dot! There are many in fire red tank...its white in colour and in a group kinda. They hop frm one place to the other.
Put in planaria trap it doesnt work. Planaria goes hiding!
Cherry shrimps eaten up all barley food however fire red are not looking at it. Only the shrimplets going for it.
By the way noticed 2 days most of fire red sits on the plants. Wonder why....

What u mean water is bad? Regular change weekly..30%. Or need more?
Btw thanks for malayan shrimps! Hope they like new home.

New setup tank would not have this problem. This is from experience. Later on when u add the plant or moss. They will also start coming.

I am not sure if i am going....

apparently they seem to like the dark more than bright. once the lights goes on, they go frenzy and start to hide..

I don't think so Lily. Spoke to Park earlier this week, he's not feeling well so don't feel like opening. Sales for those discounted ones will commence next week. Unless of course he has updated fb & I have not checked it yet.

So bro, what you're saying is...if the tank is mature & parameters are right these critters will start appearing? If yes I'm glad, although it's not so pleasing for the eye

Those bugs in mine don't really group together...well scattered. My reds are everywhere...on or in between rocks, on or under plants. Busy lil buggers they are

Ya have same kinda view too...when lights are off it's party time for these bugs!

Also, I'll be a proud 'grandfather' soon!!! Spent God knows how long yesterday late night watching 1 of the red in the process of berrying. Cool experience I must say seeing how the eggs coming out from egg sac & transferring it behind & slowly arranging those eggs properly. What amuses me was while it was doing it it was also busy eating...good multitasking!

Anyway am elated my shrimp could berry. Hope all will be turn out well eventually. Shrimplets are more active now and can be seen more often.

Just waiting to get a small otto now (no stock @ lfs ) and hopefully...a chance to get some borraras birgittae. Can't find it anywhere!

No need otto if you have enough shrimp. Otto tend to compete the food and sometimes run 'amok' dashing around. Boraras brigittae are seasonal wild caught fish. Shipment in only one or twice a year. Think next ysar knly available.
Yes. When water parameter is good. Those seed shrimp tend to multiply.

Ouch, thanks again for the input but had just gotten 1 before your reply. Didn't know they're scary pants. Turned pale once I got it from the lfs. It's still getting used to its new environment, color's slowly coming back but not moving so much.

Yeah, still remember you said before it's a seasonal fish. Bro if you've got any news on any lfs having next time appreciate if you can let me know too

So that's what it's called - seed shrimp? Oh I guess they multiply faster than I can say 'shrimp'. Am seeing more now.

I'm looking for a few boraras brigittae too

Too bad, i just lost around 20 of my boraras brigittae when my tank temperature drop to 13'C due to malfunction or my daughter itchy fingers.

Oh dear...should have sold it b4.....

The gallery closed today but open on few days few hours this coming week and open next weekend...

Oh my...sorry to hear that bro. A real heartache indeed!

Drop 13dC? Man how cold was the water? Hope there's no other losses. I made sure my daughter don't touch anything by the aquarium...warned her when I first set it up.lol. Thankfully her itchy fingers hadn't done anything to it thus far *fingers crossed*

Just did my weekly wc. Boy was it a long one this time cleaning up the glass and all...*phew*

OK thanks for the info, Sis. Might be dropping by next weekend. You're getting anything more?

Not sure yet...maybe few...
Last nite saw shrimplet in yellow.... thats from the yellow shrimps that i have...wow amazing! Now this tank i got mix shrimplets...yellow, fire red and blue.....few months time i need separate tank....lol

Haha! Figured out you'd do so...temptations are hard for you to resist when it comes to shrimps congrats on the new shrimplets!!!

@Sniper: Here it is on special request...
