ROTFL!! no doubt! hahaha...

actually, i kinda wonder about the environment... maybe they want a saltier
tank, one with fewer predators, or even possibly more or less light than
given in a tank... my tanks that i've had them in have had guppies, black
mollies, swords tails, goldfish, corydorus', and oscars... i was originally
purchasing ghost shrimp for use as treats for my oscar(s)... later i was
getting them for cleaning my community tanks... there are times, now, that
i still get them but i'm down to an all male guppy tank and another that's
all females and children that i pull the males from as soon as i can tell
they are males and five corys that i have left since my female died and i
haven't gotten another to raise more from... (ghod, what a runon sentence
that appears to be) yes, i've gathered cory eggs from the glass and flat
plant leaves and put them in a "birthing" net/cage... at one
time, i had almost 100 of the li'l beggers O:)
