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:)
