My Straw (Perlatus) baby thread

[Curlz]

@kuza:
do you remember talking about "instant baby brine shrimp"from Ocean Nutriron?

After one (!) year they answered me a few minutes ago...

Good afternoon Melanie,
Thank you very much for your interest in our products.
It is true that most of our products cannot be shipped to and sold in Canada because Canadian Customs requires that the product to be 100% made in & supplied by the USA or whatever country the product is being shipped from.
Currently ****** is looking to pick up the part of our product line that is made in the USA. These products include the frozen Formulated foods and the flake food that are now being manufactured here in the US.
Unfortunately we cannot get Instant Baby Brine Shrimp past customs legally to you in Canada.
Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns.

Best Regards,***************

(not I do not live in Canada they think I do, because I asked for Canada )

ya this is too bad thanks for letting me know

[Axiluvia]

That sucks about the brine shrimp... I suppose if one of the people in the US wanted to skirt around customs laws, they could buy it and ship it to you, but that could get a bit iffy...

I hope your breeding goes well, I'd love to see baby strawberries.

[kuza]

Thanks!

Got my first kreisel tank built, jut waiting for it to dry. Can't wait to try it out!

I have 2 separate crabs making eggs right now, so it looks like I should have a couple chances this summer. I'm going on vacation a few times though, so it's going to be difficult.

Awesome! Cant wait to see pics fingers & claws crossed for you!!

[kuza]

Thanks for all the help in those late night facebook messages while I was in panic, Nat

edit: I just noticed the other female already has her eggs made, which mans they will drop within 26 days, that's bad timing for me

[kuza]

It's done and water tested, the circulation is working great. Will upload pictures and video's when I get a chance. Thanks NAT, for the inspiration on using the white 6 inch PVC, it's perfect.

Glad that you have the kerisel all sorted and it flowing well!
I love the see pics and vids of your design.

[Skymall007]

I can't wait to hear more! Soon you will have a hermit breeding facility!

[kuza]

we fly out for 5 days tomorrow and neither females have dropped their eggs yet. If they don't do it tonight, I fear they will both drop them while we're gone, and spoil the slat water and I expect to come home to complete devastation

[mom23]

So sorry. Fingers crossed it's tonight!

What a nail biter!
I hope the females are good and wait for you to come home before dropping the eggs.

The first mamma dropped her eggs in the moss pit while I was gone and they hatched in salt water but were all dead and stinking. Still my original mamma from last season with her eggs, and she knows where to put them so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Well bummer on the first mamma! Maybe it was a trial run?
I hope your last season female does better, we be all keeping our fingers crossed with you!

[kuza]

So the second mamma held her eggs too long and now they stink and she's dropping them in the sand and eating them... I tried to drop some int he water but they are not viable at all.

I guess I missed my only chance this season while on vacation
