Well I'll do prolly go with the puffer or cherry shrimp. Whatever the LFS has in stock.

No, I'll go with one or the other. Ghost shrimp lasted about 5 minutes with my fish, I'm sure cherries would have the same success. :D Probably Dwarf Puffer though

5 min is a lonngggggg time what do you own?:popcorn:
 
actually they were with my turtle and it took him like 5 minutes to notice them... then once he saw them, they were gone in 30 seconds
 
Don't miss your chance to do the freshwater version of live rock. Go to your nearest fertile pond, grab a fistful of muck with an old leaf and drop it in. Also add some baked eggshell for calcium and pH stability. After a few weeks, your eyes will be popping out of your head at what swims, wiggles, crawls around in and even flies out of your tank!
 
i got the cherries at the LFS. Two questions:
i feed them algae wafers, but there are only 3 and they don't eat the whole wafer. How often should I feed them?
and
Do they reproduce asexually or do they mate?
 
Sexually, and you can feed them flakes too. Break up the algae pellets if they dont' eat them all.
