Those leaf holders are FUN!

They're great, defintiely a good purchase, although the green leaves fell out of that one eventually. Broke down too much to stay in it.

Lots going on in this photo. Several babies (I think red). The red female on top might be berried but she's too solid to see eggs. I'm wondering if she's a Fire Red.

She's a nice solid red. I really like those yellow ones too.

The shelves and holders are a great idea, but suctions cups don't last very long in my tanks. They harden so fast and don't stick anymore!

Didn't think of that. We'll see how well these last. They seem to be decent.

I've wondered if it's because I have hard water here? I don't know if that would cause them to harden faster, but they just don't last very long. I stock up on suction cups around christmas time when they have a lot of them in various sizes and try to make some of them work because I use them for all sorts of things. (The other day I sliced my finger on the edge of a hardened suction cup. )

Mine harden -- eventually. But not super fast. I don't take them on and off though either. Once I suction something, it's gonna stay there a good long while. Maybe years. LOL

@Mike16T How often do you feed your shrimp?

@Mike16T How often do you feed your shrimp?

Twice a week. A pinch or 1 strip of food.

How many shrimp would that be for?

 

[Mike16T]

12-15 (I say that because I lost count, but I know there's 12 minimum). They always hide. It's hard to tell already.

Good to know. Clearly I'm feeding mine too much. That being said I do have 20+ adults and now lots of little babies. So, I'll feed less often but maybe a little more than you do. I also have a small long fin BN albino pleco in there and 6 hasbrosus corydoras so extra food doesn't seem to go to waste.

I just got 10 more shrimps today that will go to the tank, 5 red belly pinto and 5 wine red mosura. =)

Lol! I'm at work. I went home earlier to start acclimating them. Later.. =P

I have snails in my tank so I have to feed every day. Sometimes the snails beat the shrimp to the food!

I do too but I'd rather not feed them. They're pond snails too which I despise more than ramshorns. I need to channel @Loren and get back on my nail smashing game.

Made this up with some Belindae buce. I'd love to see this get full of leaves. Not sure if I'll leave on the shrimp cubes. Thanks to @Mike16T for the inspiration.
