    Hey guys,
    I bought 5 ghost shrimp about 2 weeks ago for my Eel, so far he's only eaten one. (which concerns me, any ideas?) As i was cleaning my filter on my ten gallon, and moving my 3 mollies to the 55 gallon, I noticed my biggest ghost shrimp has little round globs under it's belly. Lemme know what ya think! I know i probably can't save 'em, but thought i'd share anyways ;-) And the other pic. is of the mollies in the 55, i'm hoping they'll help it cycle. They look so teeny!

    Whenever I get saltwater ghost shrimp for my mantis shrimp I usually get at least one pregnant one. I just toss it in the sump and hope for the best. They are considerably cheaper than fresh water ghost shrimp though ($2/12)
