Black striping and bulky claw legs (compared to normal ghost shrimp) makes me think Macrobrachium lanchesteri- may eat other shrimp but generally not aggressive enough to take out healthy fish.

They're coming for you. The insects are coming for you. Run. Drop everything you're doing and run. You don't have enough time to pack, just run if you want to survive.

Unfortunately, 'ghost shrimp' is used for quite a lot of species, some of which are not even able to live in freshwater. You might have gotten a species that will actively predate. :( I have ghost shrimp (Palaemonetes paludosus, I think) and they get along fine with the others except for being...

Cherry shrimp are capable of living in a mildly saline environment should they be acclimated to it slowly. The thing is that aquarium salt (overpriced table salt) is useless for treating disease. You'd be much better off using an actual medication. Unfortunately, most of these will kill shrimp...

Male cherrys get a bit rough. I've seen a female lose legs before. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, I think I may have stolen your snow. We received quite a lot a few days ago (2ft). I was snowed in. D:

This species is native to Africa. I doubt they can breed with any frog native to the US. Also, should they somehow manage to breed, the offspring would be at a severe disadvantage due to their color. They wouldn't survive to pass it on, but the normal frogs would. The things are bright pink. I...

I know, I was just commenting on the absurdity of the 'GM = Cruelty' statement. :P

If they're just GM, I don't see what the issue is unless the modified genes give them a higher likelihood of illness or something. :huh:

Nope. Not going to be any for a long time either, as I don't have a camera.

Not true; The top is sealed. Have you ever filled a straw with water and lifted it up while covering the top? The water stays in the straw until the bottom breaks the surface or the top is uncovered.

I was referencing a Dungeons and Dragons monster called a displacer beast. It always looks like it's a few feet away from where it really is. :nerd: My inverts are fine, except for when both fan shrimp jumped ship a while back. Haven't posted much since my camera broke.

Displacer puffer? :shifty: if you got that joke you are a geek

You are far too lucky. I can just imagine it not finding the fruit flies palatable, and you end up with a little swarm living in your room. :lol:

Press the 'home' key. Problem solved.

It's still there, look at your profile.

Oak is best, it lasts for a long time before finally decaying. I've used maple but it was gone within a month (apparently shrimp like the way it tastes).
