Do these guys breed easily? I worry about becoming infested with too many "assassins" while alleviating my MTS problem.

You need to have mated pairs for them to breed. They are not like regular snails.

I've had noproblem with that; had them only three months, but I researched that before ordering. I've seen no babies at all yet. My other snails were so bad...two kinds, that I ended up changing all my gravel this week. I sifted thru every little bit to make sure I wasn't throwing away Assassins. They like to hide in the gravel until the lights go out, so I look for them when I turn off lights & just have the blue lights on. They're much more attractive than the other snails, & they'll eat algae as well.

I have raised praying mantises before and they might not be able to escape, but I think the fruit flies might. It would be a close call on both of them. The screen is very small, but so are they. I used a piece of very small mesh material to and doubled it over on the top of he jug I had them in. Maybe you could put something like that on top until they grow just a little.

Hello! In my experience, when i got this shrimps i had a thank with a 5 inchs pleco, 2 loaches botias and other fishes, and they were fine, after 2 months they breed, and i had no problems. The babys growed fine. Later i got a couple of African Frogs... and man.. bad choice. They were like ice cream for them. :( Plecos and Loaches are fine, but don´t think about put frogs or turtles in a tank with srhimps :D

you can only transfer your "avatar" character to use on other files, but you need to "recruit" him by paying a considerable ammount of gold. Besides that, no, you need to start every difficulty from scratch.thats part of the experience though if you ask me.

Hi Felix, if they are, we've never even noticed. They visit for a short time while grabbing a seed. If they stay for lots of seeds, we've had no problems. Good product. The cardinal pictured on the website is smaller than ours.

Yes...These critters are really cute, my daughter has bonded with them. Believe it or not, they have personality and are a lot of fun to watch!! Initially, they were petrified in their new home, but are very comfortable now. They can sometimes be aggressive with any bottom/slow moving dwellers. One of mine is much calmer than the other, so again, it's a chance you're taking. If you decide to put them in the same tank, be sure that it's very heavily planted so that both have plenty of places to hide. Good luck and happy holidays!

Be patient.....sometimes it takes longer....keep in warm place (garage) and there is nothing you are doing wrong. Should hatch soon..about 150-200. Good luck!Dr Shafran

I know this response is a little late, but maybe it'll help other people. Just a heads up: if they breed, their color will always be that of the ghost shrimp. They'll live together fine though.

That's unfortunate. I have two platys and they approached the cf when I first put them in, but the cf turned around, put up their pincers like boxers ready for a fight and the fish thought better of it. They haven't approached the cf since.

It is not the same as cockroches so there will be no infestation. They need to be in very warm whether to breed succesfully and enthusiastically. The gestation period is roughly 30 days and birth around 25 to 30 at a time. Hope that helps... ;-)

I have this worm factory and started with 400-500 worms which seemed to be plenty. Don't forget they reproduce rapidly if kept healthy so you can theoretically start with even fewer. You're not going to get a ton of castings from a farm this size anyway but it's fun watching them move up through the levels leaving their castings behind. Enjoy!

They are pretty similar in size to the M&D bugs. The seahorse and octopus are quite a bit larger though. They may fit in the larger Easter eggs.

I'm having a constant fruit fly problem. I'm about to resort to neem oil, I think they may have laid eggs inside of it. I open it up daily and at least 50 or 60 fly out.

It kills by cutting through their exoskeletons and drying them up from the inside. It's not like a poison that kills immediately. Also there are eggs that are still being laid, and it will take a while for all of them to hatch and be exposed. Just have patience & it will work.

You can have 5,6,7,8,9,10... the more people that play the more spies there are. This makes is harder for the good guys to decide who all of the spies are essentially. There is a placemat for every amount of players and they also vary based on the # of plyrs. Its a fantastic game. Every group I play it with has a blast.

They seem to draw the mice to them!!! I've bagged more mice this year than ever before. Got four this last week. The previous week was about three. So they don't deter them in the least.
