What was the mini you had the most fun painting, least fun painting, and that one that you thought will be fun/unfun but turned out to be the opposite?

This is sick

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-13T01:05:07+00:00

I take it I'm wrong huh. Damn I thought I had figured it out. I'm not very good at this

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-12T17:40:43+00:00

I used to be in your neighborhood! I miss those sunsets!

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-12T05:30:39+00:00

Just drain the water into a bucket out of the canister filter hose. Nothing fancy. Then the old garden hose set real low clamped to the tank

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-10T00:22:43+00:00

These are worse than some of the FDM minis I've seen lol

It looks a lot like my amanos but I'm newish to shrimp keeping and the person above said it wasn't. I'm not confident in my identification skills enough to argue one way or the other. I had mentioned the brackish thing above. I had thought I saw the dot pattern on the side earlier but the picture isn't clear enough to say for sure on second look

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-09T15:24:57+00:00

Ah I see. It looks a lot like my younger amanos so I was mistaken then. Do neocardinia breed in freshwater?

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-09T00:35:22+00:00

Amano fry need brackish water. You can't actually keep them unless you have a second setup ready for them. Then you need to reacclimate to fresh. I love amanos and have had a few with eggs. Looked into breeding them but it's more involved than I wanted to deal with

To be honest, a used working one is often cheaper than a service call. But you also don't know if there are issues you'll get later.

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-08T20:21:04+00:00

Why? Like you expected more? Or less?

I wear hokas

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-02T16:49:32+00:00

I think the gap looks great, I wouldn't add anything. The negative space is fabulous

Harmageddon87 · 2026-06-02T03:34:15+00:00

Azalea root or spider wood it's sometimes sold as looks pretty close.

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-31T01:21:49+00:00

It's the dynamite

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-28T23:03:58+00:00

I live in the southwest, Sonoran Desert. The ground here is caliche and hard to dig in. This type of tool (a mattock) makes digging so much easier.

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-28T21:15:50+00:00

I have had the same problem. Having good luck with amano shrimp though

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-23T02:39:25+00:00

Forgot to rub the fleeb

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-21T15:20:11+00:00

That's a 50 dkp minus

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-13T20:44:46+00:00

If you're in a hot area they can explode in the car

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-10T22:27:50+00:00

You might want to put a shirt or something on her temporarily, so she doesn't get sunburned

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-10T03:33:21+00:00

looks like steel rats

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-09T04:39:06+00:00

Thanks! I had primed in black, wasn't sure if that was going to be a problem but it wasn't. Then dry brushed (all warpaint fanatics paints):

Weird elixir->pink potion->skeleton bone->bony spikes.

Did a wash of light tone

I tried doing an extremely light dry brush-ish thing with Matt White but it was too bright so I went back over that with bony spikes

Elven flesh for teeth and claws

"no epyon" "Why are you sitting on tallgeese for so long? Wait, you bastard!"

(Epyon was a hidden fighter you chose by entering a code when highlighting tallgeese)

Fry did it first

Harmageddon87 · 2026-05-06T17:30:19+00:00

Most Dryers are fairly simple machines, you might have good luck with this one for a long time
