I've been to Aquapets myself. I currently have and raise Bloody Mary shrimp, Sunkist, have a huge colony of Blue dreams, and am currently taking a crack at Amanos and Red Racer Nerite snails. Anyone with suggestions on the last two are welcome to offer suggestions. Thanks and nice meeting you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platosdog Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Welcome! NWA is beautiful! I live in Springfield. If you ever get up this way I’ll let you know the good places to go for aquariums! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pknsmasher Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I found one shop in Springfield called " Aquarium Shoppe" , even a chain store called " Petsway" that had some nice driftwood, and java moss, they said it was from a local breeder, then told me it was the owner.

One of my bettas is in a 2.5gal, because any bigger and he stops swimming and eating. I think it partially blind. According to the betta group I'm in, I "promote bad betta keeping habits" when I help others who have bad setups, by suggesting gradual upgrades or diys especially to people who are younger than I am, and trying hard, and cannot drive yet or get paid for chores and not say they have to have all the right equipment now.

Rest so that gasses can surface? Confession... we don’t “age” or “rest” our water before doing water changes. We’re pretty consistent with changing our water on most tanks. Not sure we’ve ever had problems. But I’m trying to learm, so bring on the nerm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pknsmasher Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Went to Aqua pets over the weekend. Great selection of aquascape products. I asked about Subwassertang, there was some that looked great, but the owner told me he was watching it because he thought it may have come in with planaria. Honest dude there. I ended up with a black ghost and some baby angels, and called it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemon Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 did you see the zig zag eel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pknsmasher Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I did not. I went in, and would like to have spent more time, but it got busy very quickly. Some days it's fairly slow, I think the weather caused everyone to visit Saturday. I actually wanted to spend some time poking through all the rock, but decided to chase it down another day.

Pknsmasher Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Did you take home a zig zag eel? If you go in past the display tank, to the right, where the angel fish are. He had a couple dozen locally raised babies, not much bigger than a dime. As much as I tried, I couldn't resist taking a few home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pknsmasher Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I did not have a table, I've never been to an event like that before, it wasn't quite what I expected. Do you have a particular color/type of shrimp you are looking for? I have started a species only tank of N class endlers from Venezuela. Most people only see endlers as a feeder guppy because they have been hybridized with common guppies. I wanted a pure strain, and am waiting on babies to color up at the minute. I also have a half dozen pea puffers in a separate tank that are little beggars. I have one big community tank, but mostly separate shrimp colonies.

Pknsmasher Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Cherries come in various grades. I have several fire grade. A separate red rili colony. Proudest of the bloody mary grade though, but it is a fairly new colony. Flip does a good job and I've recently started a jade green colony ordered from flip. We seem to be in the same places, sometimes at the same time. When I'm not totally buried with work and life, I would happily give you some of the cherries, you can't beat getting something that is raised in local water.

I think 1 was a male so I am going to wait and see if they breed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
