SRC Member CooL_anakin Posted September 2, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2003 It'll disappear a few days later if you leave it there... Some people remove it some like me just leave it as it is... I'm not sure whether i'll spoil the water quality?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member seamonkee Posted September 2, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted September 2, 2003 Er... should be "molted" not "malted"... malt is what you used to make horlicks... Anyway, I dun think it should affect the water quality.. shells are mainly calcium, rite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reefdude2003 Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 How do you know if a boxer shrimp is a mated pair. I keep hearing this term, but don't understand. DO you justput 2 of them together and if they don't fight, call the a mated pair, or do you buy them as a pair from the shops?
