New from Renton

Hey all I'm a pretty new aquarium keeper. I bought a 5.5 gallon about 4 months ago and quickly upgraded to a 20h within a month. I guess I got the bug! I love shrimp!

Welcome..... I love shrimp too. Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.  

Awesome, another shrimp lover! Welcome to fishbox! Seems like more and more people are catching the shrimp bug, maybe we should rename our forum to WaShrimpBox? Hahaha... kidding. Or am I? ;-) dun dun DUN...

Anywho, welcome once again!

We'd love to see pictures of your tank(s)!

welcome aboard

Maddness, I once had a MEAN AZZ freshwater Prawn. It grew to 16 inches and terrorized my 7 foot tank. Once my SpotFaced Pike got to about a foot long I walked into the room & my prawn was tore apart.

So you see, there are MONSTER inverts as well!

 

 

Welcome to WaFishBox!

Yay.... another local.

Welcome aboard, I almost bought some Red Cherry Shrimp last time I was at Corys, but ended up picking up a couple lawn mowers (Plecos) and a few more neons.  

Thanks everyone!

Welcome!

Haha nice! Sooner or later you'll be in the 55-75 gallon tank. and welcome!

Haha your right sooner than later I will be in a bigger tank, just need to convince the lady :/

Welcome!

When I got home and looked in my tank tonight... New red wag platy fry! My first time having baby fish!!

Hooray for platy fry! Congrats on your first babies.

I'm getting back to my platy roots; I have 3 sunburst platy fry in my snail tank.

Congratulations!

I must be an odd one, as I've only had baby danios (Zebra x Blue Longfin) and never any livebearer ones. Then again, I've only had male guppies as my only livebearer species in all the years I've had fish tanks.  

I love platys!! congrats on the new fry  

What got you into fish keeping??   Just keep it simple for now til' you know your way around the tanks and water and gain more experience at it. Were all here to support you!  
Go see Nate at Sierra he knows his stuff, but just don't be too temped to buy the store out!

Yeah come see me(nate) iam workin part time down there. I work tomorrow 5- to close!! Congrats by the way and any time you want to come to my house and see my tanks just give me a shout!

I've had fish when I was a kid then didn't have a tank for at least 15 years and finally decided to bite the bullet and get back into it. Thanks for the invite Nate I'd love to checkout the tanks sometime.

Thats good, it took me over 20+ years to get back in. But this time around I went BIGGER!
