The breeding grass will probably be a good idea. Bender's right, they are cannibalistic when they feel too overpopulated, but they're pretty good when provided ample hiding, enough space, and food. Speaking of food, I've heard recommendations that finely crushed flake food (not all the way to powder, mind you) and frozen cyclopeeze will help gut load the shrimp to provide more nutrition for your stubborn boy.

Actually I did too until I went to make a deposit that day.
I was more than a little embarrassed when I realized. Not a good way to remember/honor my family's sacrifices, let alone the rest of my country's.

OMG. This is getting ridiculous. I'm so sorry...
Yeah...I am kinda scared to go home and see him tonight....he looked really withdrawn this morning....I am afraid when (IF) I ever get this live food it will be too late
I am also afraid he may be suffering....and I am not sure if I should do anything (know what I mean) :( He just seems to be slowly withering away...not even trying anymore
