25G Fire Belly Project

The naturals will always live longer. After all the selective breeding and then inbreeding afterwards, the color variants lose a bit of lifespan in the long run. It's the downside to all of it. I could never calculate life spans with mine, i had way too many. At times, i would have roughly 2000 shrimp in different varieties at one time.

My smaller ones there's too many to count, but I generally have a few of the largest that I can always remember by their markings, and when a new one reaches that memorable size I can make a rough estimate of the tank's success rate. They're generally the first to notice when I do feedings, lol, so that helps out too.

Just wondered if you've started your new project yet?

[Megalechis]

I have the materials and plan for the new aquarium lid, but I haven't started anything actually inside the aquarium yet.

[Hoppity100]

When you do, can you post your results? Thanks, I'm going to start a new larger tank.

Project put on hold for a short amount of time. This morning brought about my second gerbil escapee in a week, so some of my frog project funds are going toward replacing the lid on my gerbil terrarium first.

Oh boy...have you determined a room it might be in? If you listen at night, no tv on, take a flashlight, you might find it faster. Good luck. I set up my new tank today, took 3 hours! Now I need to clean my fish tank. Hope Mr Gerbil shows up okay.
