Hi all,
I read a lot of your postings and articles and you took me a big step forward. Thank you very much for showing me the ropes without even knowing me . The latter is subject to be changed now.
I am Ralf from Germany, Hamburg, next to the river Elbe, which flows into the Northern Sea. Northern Sea and Baltic sea are about an hour driving distance from my home. Around summertime there is a fair chance to collect Mysis, small shrimp, crabs etc. There are also a few LFS that sell not too expensive living Northern Sea Mysis etc..
I live together with different coral reefs for about 18 years now.
10 years ago I got the chance to keep a S. bandensis for some months (got an adult one and kept it until the end of its natural live).
Months ago, I cleaned out some of my coral fragtanks (65gal) and made room for hopefully some S. bandensis.
I tried to get a clutch of eggs and a guy from a LFS ordered them from a stocklist. (Un-)fortunately we got an nearly adult (2") sepia from the often found, well known type "Sepia sp." *growl*, instead of the eggs today.
"Scooter" is active and healthy. Arriving today, it already ate 8 living Palaemonetes varians shrimps.
Looking it deep in it's eyes, it seems to be an S. bandensis (hopefully). Else I am prepared to buy a children garden-pool for it .
There is a fair chance that I get a clutch of S.b. eggs the next weeks.
As little Scooter is here, I am a lot more patient now.
Well, I guess you already know that my english isn't that good, but I hope it will not keep me from getting in touch with you.
Thanks again,
Ralf
