just asking cause i still have mine...i have power compact and they seem happy and well. but i did visit TA's tank a bit ago and saw how his have all split. he has metal halides. just wondering if anyone with them still have had them split under power compact lighting? just wondering if the metals are a direct result for them to split. just doing some research...lol.......in any case mine are still happy but still only 2 just like when i added them a while back.
so anyone have them split and please please mention your lighting ....thanks

Yes.

Forgot to mention, I spot feed the ones I can get to. That helps them grow/split ALOT!

They are just about the only things in my tank that I can feed that the cleaner shrimps can't steal food from....I take pleasure in watching them try, constantly get stuck (pretty good too!), then give up. Not that I dislike my shrimps, its just that they're PIGS...and very smart, too!

My 2 are now 5!

I have VHO, 210Watts. No spot feeding anywhere in my tank, actually. I think they like Cyclop-Eeze ( based on a double blind sutdy and evaluatoin of their ordering habbits ),

Ours went from 2 to 5 under PCs. One split within minutes after getting into the tank. Haven't seen it but Robin spot fed them a couple of times and said it was cool to watch but they don't really need it from what I have heard.

I have fed mine (when I think of it) mysis.....Mine have split probably went from 3 to 5 or 6

mine split a bunch under a halide or vho's. I have them now in my PC tank. Gary mentioned that target feeding them will really get them going.

thanks guys!

think food....
Went to a gardening thing this past weekend. Take home will feed your soil, not your plants. very relavent to my general philosophy.

There is a growing trend to feeding. See the recent Coral Mag.

Heck- giving food is soooooo much easier than figuring out lights. Both provide what is needed, but the food aspect is still way too overlooked.

I would like to say that I personally know Gary Majchrzak. He had to break down his tank because of a move and is starting over. In fact I am the new owner of his old tank. If I understand correctly he lost a lot if not all of his livestock and if anyone is interested in helping out with the Mini's it might be well appreciated LMK

anyone want to part with a few? I would live to have same

If thats the case I could fish one ot two, depending on if I can find them, to add to others that the group could send.
