Very cool owner with lots of knowledge on planted tank setups. He also has tons of ADA products as well as the CRS and RCS. New plants and stock comes in on Thursdays.

Update: So I ended up getting 5 each of the CRS and RCS and if they are still alive I never see them. So far I have seen one CRS about a week after I put them in and right after I spotted him he got chased back into the Java Moss by a Ram...eheh Oh well...

Actually I just saw some CRS...(Poor quality though) for sale up at Aquarium City in SFV.

I have a 25 gal tank with 3 large angel fish (3” bodies), 5 large Rasbora, some guppies, a green algae eater, albino cat, and a black kuli. I put 8 ghost shrimp in my tank and within 2 days all three angel fish, all five Rasbora were dead and all the large guppies. The rest of the fish are doing fine. Two tiny fast sword tail guppies and one neon survived. Water PH and ammonia is fine. I suspect the ghost shrimp did it. I found one of the dead angels stuck in the end of log like it was trying to get away from something. Pretty horrible. I don’t know if I should do a complete tank break down and start over or just keep going and see what happens next.

This is bizarre. I don't think true ghost shrimp would be able to harm angelfish of that size. In fact, the angelfish would probably snack on the ghosts. You sure these aren't prawn?
