my little shrimps

nice tank! any co2 running? i can't keep the algae from taking over without co2 even with less light... what kind of substrate are you using? it looks relly good.

btw, i've seen king kongs go for as little at $50 in the US... they were over $100 just a year prior. they keep getting cheaper. some of the newer taiwan bees are still over $100.

thanks VNCNT. I never tried to use co2 before, just two 10,000k tube and leave them on for 4-5 hours a day. I'm only using shrimp sand for my substrate.
I wished king kong were that cheap here in australia right now. but I know oneday there prices will drop alot lower and thats when I will get my hands on them LOL

^ thats a sweet colony of CRS you got... how many do you think you roughly have in the tank at the moment? looks like you should be well over 100 shrimp in there?

yeah I'm starting all over again becoz of this nitrate problem that nearly kill them all. I'm only left with 30 crs/cbs. It'll take aleast a 4-5 months to breed my colony back to normal
