      Thanks Paul!

      I just spotted 4-5 females full of eggs and one of them ready to drop.
      Gotta buy cigars now. I'm going to be a Dad again! again! again! again!
      4 females, 10-15 each... that's a whole lot of shrimp.
      (they usually take 2-3 months to reach maturity)

      SuperDragon,

      That is awesome to see. My tank is getting full again. I see now I have competition. LOL. My tigers are starting to produce a lot too. Once I free up more time it is CRS time. Best of luck. In 21 days you should see little ones.

      Have you guys contacted Shawn? I am still aways from the CRS. My pup is coming June so my time will be devoted to her. If you get some CRS I'll definitely get some babies from you.

      For sure...she's be posted everywhere. Just a lot of red tape trying to get a dog from France at a young age. But estimated time is June...latest is July but I am hoping for late May early June so she will be 8 weeks only.

      So you getting Crystal Reds?

      Feed secret food 2-4x per day without loss of water quaility...
      fast growth/pregnancy rates (3 wks)... more egg carrying ability... phenominal color...

      RightNow! Bacteria keeps the water polished clean... water changes monthly.
      (also cycled the tank in 1 day with no losses, tank is 4 weeks old now)

      Plants are also growing a ridiculous rates from CO2 from bacteria.

      DBL have you had any losses since you started with RightNow! bacteria?

      No losses. And I cycled a tank in one day.

      As for the food, I bought the shrimp from the same batch, same day and same time (Thanks Tri!) as Rich and my shrimp are just now saddling. The only difference is what he was feeding.

      wow.. I've actually been having algae issues latley.. I think it's because my mollies had too many babies, and they were pooping everywhere.. I've since given most of them away... wonder if that bacteria stuff helps with nutrient spikes?

      There are no nutrient/ammonia spikes with the system. A byproduct of the bacteria is CO2, excellent for plant growth.
      DBL and I have already had to trim our plants in the past 3 weeks. Lots of plant growth. We are happy.
