[Man of fish]

thank you talltree for that importaht tidbit.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

It is important, or else the last post won't actually count.  Only posts that actually say something are eligible to be the winning post.
 
For example, 
 

I took my son to see Independence Hall yesterday.  We had a lot of fun, and as he was slurping down his root beer float, he told me that it was the best day trip of his life.

[Man of fish]

what's haying??

 

[eaglesaquarium]

It's when you hang out at the mall, and if you see anyone you know, you shout "Hay!" Until they turn around.

I be faced with a difficult moral decision. My 6 gallon aquarium, fully cycled, no ammonia troubles or anything, but for whatever reason, my native shrimp colonies never seem to last. I last topped up the population around 3 months ago and there's only 3 riffles and about 9-10 other shrimp now.
I wanna do some foreign shrimp like crystal reds or cherries, but I feel I'd be let my remaining natives down. It is an entirely australian tank bar plants ATM and I don't want the foreigners outshining the natives.
Thoughts?

Edit: another thing I've considered is to add one or two Endlers guppies so the shrimp could still have their tank, but I have something a little more.... Well more, to look at.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

An interesting dilemma... Maybe your best choice is to create a 'pros' and 'cons' list for each option you have available.
 

 

[TallTree01]

Hmm, yes. I s'pose so. I'll do it here so everyone can give me hell for it.

TallTree's Pro and Con List of Introducing Foreign Shrimp into His Native Shrimp Tank
Pros:
~ Cheaper to buy foreigners
~ Foreign ones are a bit more colorful
~ They will be easier to keep ( I'm guessing )
~ I can get them locally rather than mucking about with shipping tropical shrimp in winter.

Cons:
~ I think my native shrimp will be mad at me
~ The whole purpose of the tank was to be a native tank

The list doesn't lie... I want to get foreigners... But I also don't want to get foreigners.
