Anyone checked this guys ME page... http://members.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI. ... t_aquatics

Probably nice cherries. :lol:

Plants. :lol:

I bought 3 of these from my MA@Crowland (Peterborough), but all have now died, maybe next time. :twisted:

There's probably too much co2 (but i'm not 100%), but it's a good way to pick them out if you don't like them. :mrgreen: I had this when i overdosed with Excel. :sick:

Umm, i'm currently doing a complete overhaul, with new substrate etc, but that is a great idea. :mrgreen:

Yes, i nearly bought them, but as my CRS are breeding very well at the moment (just had 20 babies last night), i thought i won't upset the apple cart. But i may have another look.

I saw them too, they were very cool. But i don't have a spare tank set up for there... :twisted:

I always wondered what Obi-wan's ghost would look like as a spider.

Have i ever sold you any of my Blyxa before..... :shock:

Yes, should be no problem.

You'll only squash snails, until one of the shells actually slashes your finger. Be careful. :shock:

I put about 10 assassins in my 720 litre tank which also is home to about 5 Adult Nerites. They have virtually eradicated my MTS, which is great, and they have left the nerites alone. But this maybe due to them having enough MTS to kill.... :mrgreen:

The WaterZoo in Peterborough usually has some very high grade ones. It's where i bought mine viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4945

I went straight in with a higher grade crs. I only run the tank for a week, but used mature water from my Blyxa tank, and they were fine. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=4945

This is the one i use also, just to spy on you guys. :wink:

Hello and welcome to the forum Louisa. :lol:

I just used them after they closed down, received some lovely red and pink baby apple snails and assassin snails, for another tank. Always excellent service. And i could do with some more Crystal black shrimps. :mrgreen:

I had a similar one in my tank last year.... viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1257&hilit=shrimp

Lol. :mrgreen:

Stunning pictures Johnny.

Nice one Dan. :wink:

Probably, but then a few will always hide in the plants etc.

Hey Adam, i've just found a few of these trumpet snails in my garage tank, and a few have these white marks. I think they are eggs of some sort, and these have appeared on my wood over time also, the culprits would be Nerite snails or Corydoras Sterbai, but i'm no expert. :wink: :mrgreen:

AE sell a few.... http://www.aquaessentials.co.uk/index.p ... th=257_295 Myabe give Richard at AE a bell, he may know some other breeders.

James, you really had me then lol. I was hoping this thread would be about AVP etc. :mrgreen:

He never bother Amanos, as mine are all largish. I have removed the angel now, as i have added crystal red shrimp to the tank. :mrgreen:

I have 3 Botia Striata in my big tank, they are brilliant snail eating machines and completly fine with shrimp. I'm thinking off putting one or two in my nano too keep the snail threat down in there too.

My amano's do seem to work the hardest, and you can get some very nice colouration on them, and the cherrys come a close second. :wink:

He sadly died today. Probably old age. :cry:

My one altum snacks on any available shrimp, but it does keep my breeding shrimp population in check. :?

Would they be dead then Superman. :shock:

Lol, his pincers are tiny at best, he only catches and picks up small pieces of prima.

Thanks UE. Seems to be one of these, maybe the Sri Lankan or Indian.

Ohh!! :oops: I did buy it from one of the MA branches, tut tut. :shock:

He is about 3", i've owned him for about a year, non-aggressive, just very greedy, grabbing prima in both claws. :mrgreen: Just would like to know the latin name for him. Thanks.

I have a few John, not sure what algae they eat though, but they have never tried to escape.

Mine eat anything, but usually feed tetra prima and algae wafers. I usually feed my CRS tank every day with crushed food (pestle and mortar), and i always feed my main tank which has amano's and cherry shrimps every day also, but that does have other stock.

It doesn't look one of the helpful sort, i'd be buying some snail eating fish. I think most botia species will eat small snails, the most popular is the clown loach, but these can get very large. I have 3 botia striata, which sort out all nuisance snails in my tank, and they socialise nicely...

Are these at Crowland George, i think i may get a dozen for my tank. :mrgreen:

They are a problem as they reproduce like mad in mine, but they do keep the algae down. On a tangent, i just found a cherry shrimp crossed with a bamboo shrimp ( i think), bright red with a darker line across his back, or that maybe just a bamboo/wood shrimp. And she was pregnent! :roll...

No problem, mine both breed in the same tank too.

How about setting up a net on a flat piece of gravel, put a couple of algae tablets in there, them come back in a hours time, then fish a few out, and repeat. I did this with mine, then took them to my local lfs. Or buy a few large discus, they will soon get the taste. ;)

A nice addition to my shrimp army too.

I have both in mine, but as algae eating they all seem as busy as each other. The amano seems to me to be a larger shrimp (upto 2" in my tank) with pretty decoration on his back. And he takes his time slowly walking through the plants. The cherry shrimp (upto 1" in my tanks) are very colourful...

Thanks. I'll leave them in then.

Are these the long snails that look like a horn?
