What tropical fish can ghost shrimp live with?
I have a 30 gallon tank with mollies, platies, upside down catfish and a pleco. Could I put a couple of ghost shrimp in there? I also have a 10 gallon tank that I was thinking of putting some guppies in (only males as I’ve had enough of livebearing fish breeding) – could I put ghost shrimp in there?
I think they would be safe with those fish and guppies too. The mouths I don’t think would be large enough on any of those fish to eat the shrimp- though they may attempt to nip at them (which of course could injure the shrimp). Those ghost shrimp are good at hiding too when they need to. Provide plants and other places to hide and they would probably be fine I think. Those ghost shrimp are fun

I’m having trouble catching fish in the river?
I was catching them earlier in the year but now i cant catch a thing was wondering what other people use. The river is the Huron river Michigan around new Boston if someone lives anywhere near there.
I’m with DS on this one, the fish move to different locations in the river system during the fall and winter months. Baitfish activity and water temperature play a key role in fish movement. Check with the local bait and tackle shops around your area. Tight lines!

I need some expert advice from fly fishermen/women.?
I used to go perch fishing in Louisiana. Now I live where fly fishing is popular and it intrigues me. I have heard it isn’t as easy as it looks.
The problem is, as I have gotten older, I don’t want to hurt anything. I don’t judge or look down on others who catch fish or hunt, but it is just something I feel is not for me..
Because of a poor immune system, I can’t be around crowds, so this might be a good hobby for me.(even if it is hard to learn) I like to be challenged.
Now, (Please don’t laugh at me). I want to fly fish without a hook and I wonder if I will be able to tell if a fish grabs my lure. I know they make hooks with no barbs, but I still would rather use no hook.
Can you answer my question? Please don’t call me crazy or things like that. I am very sensitive.,
I’m kinda’ poor, so can I use my old fishing polls, or do I need to buy special ones? If I do, can I find them at second hand sporting goods stores? What brand do you suggest?
Thank you!
Fly fishing isn’t so difficult but the fly CASTING is what takes some practice. There is a terrific DVD put out by Joan Wulff on fly casting and this might be the best way for you to learn the basics given your situation. You can find it on the internet. You will soon be VERY frustrated trying to fly cast with the type of poles you’re likely to already have. There are some inexpensive rods out there but you get what you pay for and definitely stay away from fiberglass rods. There are multiple methods of fly fishing, using different types of flies. If you don’t want to actually hook a fish, you’re going to be limited to using dry flies, which float on the surface of the water. With these flies, you will usually be able to see when a fish rises and takes the fly. All other types of flies are used sub-surface. Good luck with this. It’s a terrific way to spend time out of doors.
