I know!!!!! they have filled in so nicely with color and gotten so big!!!! I am so pleased with how the tank is coming along. I did a bit of a good sized trim in there a week or so ago, I want to catch one of the berried shrimp for the camera though but they're tricky I know theres at least one in there because I saw the berries but so much moss!!!!

OK so I had to give one update here

I got my iPhone to cooperate with me tonight and got a pretty good PFR shrimp shot!!! I was pretty excited!

Nice

Looking great Drew!

Just wanted to pop in to say my first set of babies are here

YAY!!!!

It's been a while so I wanted to add a FTS update prior to some trimming tonight!

those little guys r doing so well in that tank great job man

Yea I see new babies every now and then I'm getting ready for a good trim still trying to get parameters just right

hey if u get enough babies u can probably sell them craiglist easy

I want a bit more in there before I start selling them.  Right now I have about 12 breeding adults with approx. 6-12 juvies and another approx. 3 juvies that haven't filled in with the PFR colors yet...
 
I love watching them, they have a new favorite food (zuch) which I throw in once a week for them and they literally POUNCE on
 
Here they are in FENZY mode 
 


If you look close enough you can also see that the juvies don't fill out in color until several moltings, they look almost like cherries...the albino bn always wants to get in on the action but the PFR chase her off until they've had their fill it's great fun to watch

the juvis look like saltwater peppermint shrimp

So while I'm updating I thought I would add a few new pictures of this tank.

I've been switching these guys over to Remin RODI as well and have seen some vast improvements in their activity as well as their color!

These two were 'playing' when I got around to taking photos






Feeding Time!!!

Full Tank Shot 1
I'm having some remnant hair issues in this tank, I have started treating with excel daily and have been removing affected areas.  What you see is what has grown in about the last two or so weeks


Full tank angle shot
IDK for some reason I really like this shot.  It's hard to tell but the entire back end of the tank is moss as well.  It's a shrimp paradise!


Thanks for stopping by!  Again as always suggestions are welcome

So um yea

Hey again everyone!  My PFR have been breeding like jackrabbits!!!!



Enjoy!
