That’s what I was thinking. Although they said they ship on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays (ordered on Tuesday evening), I wasn’t really expecting them to ship it out the following day because of Christmas and the fact that USPS Priority Mail delivers in 1-3 business days. That would mean...

Yeah it’s unfortunate i got this sale on shrimp during the winter time. It’s So Cal so i didn’t check the weather at first but it is what it is. I had a little idea in my head. Don’t know if it’s a good thing or bad but what if I hold off on the delivery until the day I come back. I assume the...

I was leaning on the refund as my backup but the DOA policy is 2 hours after delivery. I won’t be able to see my shrimpies until a day after delivery. Hopefully I can work out a refund due to the change in delivery but I am not really hopeful for it. After they arrive to my place, I’ll be able...

I live in an apartment and neighbors aren’t really a thing around me. The temps are from 40 at night to 55-60 during the days.

oh boy that must mean my shrimpies will not come home alive

So my delivery of 10 cherry shrimp from ebay was initially scheduled for next week (when i’m here); however the expected date is now monday (when i’m not here). I come back on Tuesday and was wondering if the shrimp would be okay stuck in a box for a day including the fact that they would be...

Thanks! I could definitely use the good luck. The first time I netted out all of my guppies was such a pain. I do have a betta that wouldn’t mind having a 15 gallon so we will see where that goes.

Hey all, I currently have my “pond” stocked with guppies, shrimp and filled with plants (guppy grass, salvinia, anubias, frogbit). This pond is heated at a constant temp of 78 degrees and also is running a sponge filter. Planning on moving away from guppies very soon after my fry have all grown...

It lasted 6 months. But I feel like it broke because of me. A silly mistake. Took it out of the water unplugged and started steaming. Will probably get the orlushy one. It’s a bit smaller than the top link, around 4in smaller, which is nice.

My Aqueon Preset 100W heater stopped working a couple weeks ago. Luckily, my weather is nice and my outdoor tub (~13G) and betta tank (5G) have enjoyed a nice temperature throughout the days without a heater. However, winter is coming up and the water in the tub and tank can get as low as 50F...

Good thing I have some salt handy. Sucks that my lfs doesn’t carry the meds I need so I would have to order online. And even then I don’t know if the fish would have made it by the time the meds came.

I had a thread earlier about my sudden death of a new female guppy. Now I have a couple more deaths, but this one is showing some noticeable symptoms. This female guppy now has some white on her mouth and is pretty much gonna die by the morning. It’s laying on its side now and stays vertical...

Update: The guppy has died. The rest seem to be doing ok. Update #2: Two guppies dead. One of them is my male guppy which I have had the longest. Also, one of my new females is developing white on her mouth. It may or may not be columnaris at this point. Probably will make another thread for the...

Okay. This is my first ever serious disease or whatever that I have encountered. I have seen Popeye and dropsy before but not this. I just got this yellow female guppy 2 days ago from my local fish store. I come home today to find her lying still in the guppy grass and barely moving. So I pick...

Yes, although there are some patches of algae I can’t get off. I don’t have flourish excel on hand. Do you think hydrogen peroxide will do anything?
