Had to get new temperature strips for my shrimp tank. My old one only half peeled away and I don't know what to use to get it off. Any ideas?

My nerites like mine too. I recommend cooked because of a bad experience with raw causing a fungus or something on some of my shrimp, when I was a shrimp newbie. Sterile at least. My stuff comes right from my garden so who knows what might be on it. You can try butternut squash, which is...

Cooked Pumpkin is going over well amongst my Cherries and Rabbits today.

Yes I do think my males are fewer and younger somehow.

Chocolate sounds great Chocolate sounds great! Her original ancestors were orange and blue diamond so very possible.

She swam around the whole tank like that. The last photo makes me want gummy fish!

She seems copper brown. Maybe a little plum. I have all these dark shrimp. Some are brownish, others blackish, bluish. They came from a blue diamond line. See last pic. It's hard to decipher exact colors. Most look blue or black. Is there a name for this dark shiny type of shrimp?

This pretty red girl has a pixie nose. It's turned up. Bad Molt? Or is this permanent? She's fat and happy.

It's good that he is active. There is algae on even clean looking glass most of the time. Not sure. I'd worry more if he went into his shell and didn't come out. He may also need time to adjust. I had 100 rabbit snails in an all gravel bottom tank and they bred like crazy and were very happy...

Hi It looks better than some of mine that I purchased, who have lasted several years now. It is not behaving too unusually for a rabbit. They are clumsy and do take breaks from moving around a while.Sometimes my younger snails feed on the bottom gunk rather than whole pieces. They aren't wall...

These guys decided to swim to the front of the tank. The brownish one is particularly stunning. They look like stained glass in the light. I wish there was more information on the net about this mutation of light opaque white or light orange inside coloring. I think it comes from my oranges...

I don't hear much about these guys. I think they look like black goats. They are hardy and pretty agile for long larger snails. Not as clumsy as rabbits. Do people not really like them because of their inability to breed in freshwater? Could be a plus. They are real survivors. I have 5 that...

Sadly I'm not sure how old. Someone here told me they were very old several months ago. That explained the odd coloring they developed. I did not think they would make it through summer. They've been this way since before last winter. They move well and are some of my largest females.

Thank you! They have the cutest faces. lol
