Shrimp and Fish

Well, more education on fish! I contemplated hatching my own brine shrimp as fresh food for my fish. So I read up on it! It's quite easy really and can be done with a desk lamp and some clean 2L bottles. However, I don't think it'd be practical for my smallish 20 gallon tank considering the overall mess and effort. Plus, I'd have to continually hatch them thus requiring a steady supply of eggs. No thanks. And so this topic ends here.

To make up for a missed day of learning, I've also discovered something that I should have expected. When I added my paradise fish to the tank of danios and lemon tetras, the behavior of the danios immediately went from aggressive bullies to cowering wimps. HA!! They cower in fear of the big man in town! Not like he'd hurt them or bully them or anything, but he knows he's bigger than them and won't let them push him around. So no one messes with him. ;D
