New cherry shrimp!

[Keri]

Picked up 6 red cherries and some MTS - the first inhabitants of my 8g
Sorry about the cloudy water, I was trying to plant the "stringy" looking plant. Anyone have an ID on it? I did a poor enough job the my husband took pity on it and replanted them after I took the pics.





..... I should have moved the dish with the tweezers from in front of the tank lol..... oops.

Looks like a happy camper Keri, I especially love your rock.

nice RCS...

I am no expert... but is there any chance that that rock might leech metals? It has that "ore-ish" look to it?

Great pics and nice looking shrimp. Love the moss ball/rock. I always like black substrate for cherry shrimp.

I am a bit concerned about this as well, but I asked at the pet store where I bought it (it's listed as "honeycomb rock") and was told it wouldn't.... Does anyone know for sure?

Keri, that isn't honeycomb rock...
Honeycomb looks like this.

And the honeycomb will increase your PH.
I have no idea what rock that is.

I still think cherries are one of the prettiest shrimp. nice marimo ball, too:-)

I bought it at IPU, the girl at the counter told me it wouldn't affect my water but I will ask on their sponsor forum area as well.

Thanks, I like the ball too
