American Glass Freshwater Shrimp American freshwater glass shrimp, American freshwater ghost Shrimp, Common Name: American freshwater grass shrimp Scientific Name: Palaemonetes paludosus, possibly several populations or subspecies Size: Temperature: Water Parameters: Food: Origin: around 5cm will tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but best kept at 70F-78F Needs alkaline water over the long run. Should not be kept in acidic water over the long run. fish food (flake, pellets etc), hair and string algae, "anything edible" North America

Abbreviated: Larval planktonic stage only lasts a few days before larvae Larval metamorphose into post-larvae (miniature shrimp) and assume a benthic Development Type: lifestyle. Freshwater Glasss Shrimp larvae do *not* need brackish water for this process and develop into post-larvae and adult shrimp in complete freshwater.

Cichlids Malawi
Malawi cichlids come from a rift lake in East Africa (Lake Malawi) that is very much alkaline (pH 7.5 to around 8.8) yet has relatively soft to medium hard water at best. (4-6 dGH and 6-8 dKH). In the wild, Malawi Cichlids live in water temperatures of around 24-26? or 76-79? C F. In general, there are two groups of cichlids in lake Malawi. The mbuna, or rock dwellers, spend most of their time in the rocky habitats and therefore should have a tank that is mostly filled with rock. On the other hand, the non-mbuna, often referred to as the Haps and Peacocks, typically live in the intermediate to sandy habitats and therefore require much less rock in the home aquarium. It is generally not a good idea to mix these two fish together not only because of the different tank set-up requirements, but also because of diet and aggression.
