The Ancistrus and SAE's are fine, I ordered 5 SAE's and got 6, but I think they are all still fine. Sometimes difficult to find in all the plants. I suspect all the shrimp are dead, but maybe they are in the plants somewhere. I ordered Amano shrimp, and I am pretty sure I got Ghost shrimp instead. They appear very transparent. Two of the five Cory Cats are dead, they were supposed to be 1", but they are tiny, maybe slightly over 1/2". I wonder if they are more susceptible to problems being so young. I ordered Monday, and requested (via web form) arrival on Friday. I received a form email Tue stating that I would be notified within three days of when they would arrive. It also stated specifically that they would not be shipped without notification. However, the only way I knew they were coming was a FedEx email saying I had been shipped an overnight package. I'm not really complaining, but I feel a bit discouraged, mainly about the shrimp and cory cats. I guess my main question is, are shrimp usually visible in a heavily planted tank? I saw one the night I put them in, and one the next morning, which was eating. Haven't seen any since. bob allred Bob, The only time I see my shrimp is at night with a flashlight, otherwise they hide in the shadows. I can't say that I know enough about them though to tell you this is normal behavior. But it seems to me the norm in my tank. HTH, Ron |
