Some invertebrate pictures, shrimp and snails

Lupin

The shell mantle for male canas is different in shape than female canas. This works for canas only, nothing else. And of course, I recognized the shell on a close look since I have only three original adults left with their F1 babies already sexually matured.

Oh thanks that really helps. So when will F2 be on its way?

I have a 29 gallon tank with 4 black tetras, 1 zebra danio, 2 neon tetras, 2 orange finned tetras, 1 CAE, and 1 pleco.

How many ghose shrimp could fit comfortably in there, and will allow me to add more fish?

Lupin

I am kinda regretting it now. I have several egg clutches and about 20 F2 babies are out.

Lupin

Just make sure the ones you get are true ghosts because many macrobrachium species mistaken for ghosts are predatory. You can try 6 but you need to get rid of the CAE and the pleco assuming this is a common pleco species, not a bristlenose or anything of smaller species.

MXS

Thanks! I was already planning on getting rid of the CAE and my pleco is a bristlenose!
