nice pictures - when the torrent fish swims does his tail do the same thing as well? my killies have a way of holding their tails at times but they do move them in all directions generally

my shrimps are called 'There he is' and 'The Smaller One, where is he?'

Plenty more where they came from too when you want to come for a drive.

Yesterday I put some small pieces of pea in there, at one end. Went to check on them just now and found 2 bits half way across the tank, and 1 shrimp supervising the other doing an impression of Mr Burns on the other bit. :lol:

Does any one feed their shrimp specifically or do they just graze on what they can find?

One Tree Hill - the driveway next to the Observatory has some oaks a little way in, part way to the top of the hill, can collect some from there.

hmmmm now I have to see what numbers I get of bugs with no big predators. None that I know of till I find some more anyway.

It was very small, as big as or less than a mm thick only, maybe the body was 5mm long not counting the tail feathers. Anyway the other thing I am wondering about, in the thread I started called 'Live food found out and about' you posted some photos that were ID'd as copepods. I have those and they have multiplied somewhat. In this thread http://www.thekrib.com/Food/daphnia.html they refer to these as cyclops and say they are a threat to daphnia, they eat the eggs faster than they can lay them.

:an!gry :evil: :facepalm: found a freaking damsel fly larvae in the tank. Thankfully it was resting on the filter or I wouldn't have seen it. That's been alive somehow since Dec 27th minimum as that is when I last caught bugs. Unfortunately for Mr DF he will not be in there very long if I can catch him.
