Ahaha, actually thats not a plant. Thats algae, the tank is covered with it for the Sulawesi shrimp to eat.

Currently the Cardinals are also housed with the harlequins and Camo shrimp. They've learned to adapt to the same environment which allows us to house them in the same Tank.

Nice setup and best with the shrimp. Have the Harlequins bred for you (Thomas)?

They have not yet bred for me yet, however they are breeding for another one of my friends here in canada. I also just started keeping harlequins and its only been about the 3rd week and they seem to be doing great. However the harlequins Killer007 has are not wild and are captive bred in about F15+ generation now and they have adapted to very similar paramters as Cardinal and are very hardy. Somtimes... harder then the cardinals themselves.
