Well guys! I got 3 pregnant girls!

One is an S grade and the others are SS. I even have few SSS grades in my tank as well! I'm pretty excited! This is their first pregnancies so I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped some eggs.

One has been pregnant probably for more than a week.

The other about 3 to 4 days ago and the last one was just discovered today!

Currently right now I have a sponge to cover the intake of my filter.. but I fear that the holes are still too big for when the babies are born.. Anyone got any recommendations on what I could cover it with??

Can't wait to be a new mom! :]

Sponge over the intake is fine. They usually carry the eggs for 30 days. Congrats shrimp are addictive.

If you're worried, remove the filter and just run a sponge filter or two.

Your stockings will work to cover a more porous filter if needed.

If I were to buy now I would probably only buy 5 as they are VERY pricy for my range. Haha.

But they are just so cool looking! I love how their colors just go so great together!

Currently I only have 1 shrimp tank with endlers, threadfin rainbows and CPDs. If anyone is looking for fish mates for a shrimp tank I have not had bad luck with these guys. :]

Yes I was thinking about doing that. Time to destroy my closet to look for one. Haha.

bid if you want... save a dollar then pay $35 shipping by yourself..


OR>>>

we buy together ($1 extra).. ship to one place... and pay $10 shipping ($30 divided by 3)

Oh sorry I had a little plan built in my head and forgot to share. But nah I'll just go with yours. Lol.

Have you contacted him about our dele-o? So that way I can contact him as well and tell him I'll be paying my part?

i assume we pay our parts and he ships to one place..

but one person will probably have to pay the shipping or we send all money to one person for our totals..

what part of austin are you in?

Either works fine with me as I have paypal.

I reside in S. Austin, but I do travel all the way to Round Rock for college. If you live further up than S. Austin I can meet you on whatever days I go to class.
