    Red Crystal Shrimp Life Cycle

    I have been keeping three red crystal shrimp for a couple of months now, and the largest one has just died, but before it went I could see she was carrying eggs. I am wondering if death immediately after release of eggs is normal for this species - in a sort of Octopus way? Also - how long do...

    Graffiti-ing Nerite?

I have noticed in the evening, about two hours before the lights are due to turn off, one...

    Tuning the system - what should a novice do next?

    Hi All I am a semi-novice at the planted tank game and need some advice, please! (Here we go again you're probably thinking.) I have set up a 60x38x30 (LxHxW) using (from the bottom up) laterite mixed with 2-4mm gravel, Colombo Fe and general plant substrate capsules, another layer of gravel...
