Sancho Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Qui est Pepe? Kat, Peppermint shrimp are more worthless than tits on a bull at eating Aiptasia anemones. I've been reading that Molly Miller blennies eat them, dunno. I agree with this statement. Although I think where they are collected plays into whether they will eat aiptaisa. I just bought a pair and they made quick work of the aiptaisa outbreak. however after the aiptaisa was gone they found 6 of my acan frags rather tasty bastards are now in my 34 with my tomato clown that has a taste for peppermint shrimp.

Circle of life Well, to be honest, that's usually what happens to mantis shrimp, they go to the dome. I have an Undulatus trigger that makes short work of them. Eyegore got pardoned by the empress. I've gotten Peppermint shrimp from all over the world, I even paid $35 for a pair out of Australia, those bastards did squat. The ones out of Haiti did squat, same with ones from Florida so I dunno. 1 Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Getting estimates for getting all new flooring in the entire apartment, painting the entire apartment and some other renovations. Never heard of somebody wanting a deposit to come measure my place, especially when you go through references and they respect the reference that sent us to them in the first place. Frustrating convo with one lady that was just impossibly hard to talk to. I wanted beige and warm tone tiles, she points me to navy blue and gray. Paying money for a job and being a nice person in actuality apparently isn't enough to get respected as a customer. asshat. 6 Quote Link to comment
markalot Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 We've had horrible luck with contractors, to the extent that my wife threw one out of the house and we paid him for work done and had to hire another to do the job right. 1 Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Tuesday Timeline Kittiyagi. Original colony not getting enough light in this tank Feb 2016 Colony fused together After an RTN event that wiped out the colony save for a small piece March 2016 Last month Today We've had horrible luck with contractors, to the extent that my wife threw one out of the house and we paid him for work done and had to hire another to do the job right. My bathroom renovation some years ago was a similar nightmare. They subcontract out and then run around doing small jobs all day spending an hour at your job here and there. This time we are looking at a 3 month renovation at least so we want to go with someone who may be a little more expensive but can devote the time and resources to do it. 4 Quote Link to comment

Deciding between a small school of common chromis or 3 more anthias to complete my harem. I have one already. Not sure if the harem should have 3 females or 2 is enough. 2 Quote Link to comment

If you have contractors doing a walk through and want me to be there to talk their lingo just give me a shout Could have totally used your help!

Ebn Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thank you. So, on the fish. Deciding between a small school of common chromis or 3 more anthias to complete my harem. I have one already. Not sure if the harem should have 3 females or 2 is enough. Why not both? I did something similar recently by beefing up the ventralis trio out to 5 fish (male from first trio ended up with uronema) and added a couple of blue chromis to bring that group back up to 3.

Not sure if the harem should have 3 females or 2 is enough. More females, 4-1 is the correct ratio, come to think of it, 2-1 would probably kill me today, but there was a time........ Those look lovely, thanks for the suggestion. If we could just get youngin' to let me know when frickin' Africa ships we'd have some. I want 12 for our 2 tanks and I have orders for 30 more. 1 Quote Link to comment

I feel more confident in buying from Live Aquaria or Unique vs a fresh shipment. But I can set up a QT no problem now. Just need to seed it to prevent ammonia 1 Quote Link to comment
