Hello From Sydney!


Sarah

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

My name is Sarah and I'm located in Sydney. I'm new to shrimp and just recently set up a 2ft tank for Red Cherry Shrimp.

Besides shrimp, I also keep fish: mostly Bettas (Siamese Fighters). I have 2x 4wk old spawn, and a pair I bred that just turned 3months with various adults. I have a couple planted tanks, nothing fancy but I do quite like them.

Also keep inverts (have 2 Tarantulas, scorpions and a pede).

Looking forward to being a member of this forum!

Thanks,

Sarah. :)

Hey Lachie! Nice to see you here too. :)

Snugglebum. Tragically lost her this week, a tank lid broke and she (and other inverts) fell into the tank, and drowned after her container filled with water during the night.

Thankyou for such a warm welcome. After I finish lunch I'm going to go and get some updated photos. :)

Heavy, I do get told I am a bit of a Daddy's girl quite frequently... especially from my mum!

Thanks. :)

Feederbarb, I have only recently gotten Cherries and haven't noticed any dead ones... unless it was death by disease, I would probably give it to my axolotl.
