Hello..

I understand why greed is one of the seven deadly sins. I think, we are really close to our end.

Watch it after 5.40

I saw on the videos that complete shrimps start to move like crazy as (I assume) they get burned from salty water. In the nature probably they start to swim towards to fresh water current.

You are not too far from the end.I bet you will have so many of them. I am planning to copy your project.It is very inspirational :clap::clap::clap::thumbup::thumbup:

No they want. They need salty water to develop in to shrimps.See the following thread.If you use search box you can find some other threads. https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/amano-shrimp-breeding-project.53962/

I think dark patches are tissue necrosis due to death. Sometimes they just die. If they keep breeding and cant pull dead shrimp(s) out of the tank on daily basis,it is fine. They have a relatively short life span and if this is one of the first shrimps you bought and added in the beginning, it...

I thought as it has spread well, it was doing OK> Yes I do inject CO2 but I guess it is more of a circulation problem. I cant pay enough attention to a high tech tank, it is too demanding for me. I just inject CO2 and add some ferts. But I dont bother with the rest. But apparently MC just...

A very large patch detached from the substrate.I put a piece of wood to keep it on the substrate.It is not really thick, there is a lot dark green algea on the surface but it was looking healthy. What should I do ?Should I just remove it and replant as small clumps? Or is there any way to...

I think my breeding project has not been completely unsuccessful.Today I noticed a decent size fry in the small tank. They must have spawned at some point and one of the eggs managed to survive. This is encouraging! I will try to breed in small tank with a better setup. But the fry looks...

I added another 5 now there are 8 of them in a large tank with more plants and few red neocardinias. Chasing has finished, some small poking still happen. I hope I will see some fry soon.

Send me your address I will send you some floating plants free of charge.

I dont think that you can harvest zoe from breeding net as they are tinny they will spread in to the tank and will be eaten. You should put berried amano in to a container until zoes are released. After zoes are released, you can transfer them to your salty breeding tank with a turkey buster. I...

It is safe for fish and shrimp.

Initially I bought them for my Apisto tank but after Apistos died, I moved them a smaller 30 litre tank. At one point I decided to change the substrate with an active substrate (acadama) to keep pH low.Than I lost two of them. The other 3 look settled for now. As I want them to breed, I...

Welcome

Do not forget to buy one of these.I find it useful to scrub the algae. :lol::lol::lol: https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-window-scraper-3/56292

I dont think that it is TDS or pH, they are very hardy shrimps. Are there any other shrimps in the tank? Did you buy any new plants recently ir used any medication? Copper can be the culprit. Some medication and copper from some plants can be lethal for shrimps.

Opps , my bad. Apologies @Edvet

Thanks for your reply. I have it and used it already, it did not save my fish but they passed some of the worms and saw them on the substrate. Levamisole does not kill it but stuns it.That is how it works.Normally the way you described should have been enough. But I have been unsuccessful to...

After I lost an Apisto Cacatuoides pair due to Camannallus worms.I took remaning dwarf pencilfish to a quarantine aquarium, left all plants in the tank, kept lights and sponges filters on than siphoned the substrate water and did water changes several times.It has been more than 3 months. I was...

I would have thought that you were going to say CO2 distribution ...

I give them to him

There are a couple of streams close to where I live and collected some shrimp like critters and wondering whether it is safe to give them to my fish. Although my Apistos are not doing well at the moment but I am hoping them will recover. I've put them in my experiment tank and took some...

I added plenty of hedge beach and oak leaves, a few alder cones and mixing with water 80% RO. pH is still 8. I keep reading about sphagnum peat to reduce pH and hardness. But I not sure how I will do it. First the peat should I buy this I use sponge filters or this. Secondly, I use an air driven...

Welcome to UKAPS. For shrimps you can try Gumtree for local breeders.

Welcome to UKAPS. If I were living in Indonesia, I would have filled the tank with different types of buces.

Thanks for replies. Related to CO2, I am just wondering why it has just started to happen now. I have not changed any thing recently. The tank was on auto mode for a long time. And deformities have started recently. I am not saying my CO2 distribution is OK. I will try to improve it. For...

I have a similar problem with my bucheps too and it has just started. there has not been any change in any conditions.

As far as I know, you cant get refunded for the VAT you pay, since you pay VAT to another member state of EU.

Thats what I have thought too

Be aware, their prices are excluding VAT and it gets more expensive than it looks at the first place, combined with postage etc..

I cant see any fry today. The mother is still bright yellow and mostly hiding in heavily planted area. I am afraid they are all gone.

Thanks letting me know. Directly dragging from google photos caused the problem.

The one behind the bucep with very thin leaves. Thanks

I have fry too. My A.cacatuoides have some free swimmers. The mother fiercely defends them and their territory but I am afraid there are too many predators in the tank, 7 red nose tetras, 4 SAEs, a few guppies. I try to spray micro worm, filter mulm whereI see the mother and started hatching...

Use air pump and air stones, plenty of surface agitation to increase gas exchange. It is a good sign that the rasboras have not been affected badly. Larger fish are more affected but it tells CO2 saturation is not high enough to bother small fish

Sorry , my bad...

It looks so cool. If you have any spare please let me know...

Maybe we should organize a day to meet...

Reality hurts. It is one of my all time favorites Here is another

According to the most common belief if you mix them you will be disappointed.They will gradually become original dull brownish colour shrimp. But interestingly claims they actually dont. :confused::confused::confused:

My local shop charges £3.50 for 25 liters, if I do only 20% WC (25 lt) weekly I pay £182. I hate it. TDS of tap water is around 400.

Yes He has them but in the end I decided to get A.cacatuoides. I really want them to live and breed. My main concern is my hard rock water but I will soften it with RO in a couple of 50% water changes (It is around 350 at the moment) next week I hope it will be 250ish and one after around 150 (I...

:thumbup: Do you think I can get away 20% WC weekly with half measure estimated index?After I drop my TDS around less than 200 I need mostly RO water nad making bigger WCs will be expensive and difficult.

Thanks for your reply Darrel. I have checked his app (he is a very nice mobile application for online shopping) he does not have any of them. Perhaps I should start with A.Cacatuoides, they are more available and easier I guess. I read some information about Apistos and they prefer less stream...

Moss is best to use.Alternatively,a low maintenance option can be anubias petite

I just thought that they harbour too much bacteria and possibly some pathogenic if rotten outside.Otherwise I can see your point. Almond leaves are really good, the only issue they are not free...:p (Am I too tight :rolleyes:?!?)

I am planning to keep Apistos.I will use RO water and some leaves to change water and overall environment. My tap water is rock hard.If I use 50-50 RO tap mix TDS will be around 250. I think addition of some oak leaves will help imitate their natural environment too.Now we are in spring and all...

It is a beautiful fish.Does anybody know where can I get it ? Cheers

I kept them together and never seen while they are attacking neos.But lets make this straight, female amanos can be as big as 5cm and they eat anything.But I dont think they will chase a healthy fish/shrimp unless they are desperate.

There are some water resistant panels as well http://www.zloneled.com/sale-6149392-water-resistant-led-flat-panel-lighting-600-1200mm-54w-60w-72-w-90w.html The first link's vendor has 600*600 WR panels for £50+VAT . I checked with their web chat guy You can guess ADA's profit margin. I do not...

I was joking but thanks for the offer :clap:

Can I have a small piece please ? :thumbup::hungry::cool:

I managed to make !00% spirulina sinking tablets.But I am afraid shrimps did not show much interest the way I expected.They eat it but not the way they eat other fish-shrimp food. I will to mix it with some other very fine shrimp food and try it again later. And some photos...

Personally I did not like it...

Tanks are not horrendously expensive though. 255 L with sliding cover is £200. W

I tied, I am afraid did not work.But they are beautiful.

I need to find an online photography course urgently. I am quite rubbish. .

Dont worry, I dont eat it/drink anyways. :cool::cool::cool: If I can find bloody memory card, I will send some pictures of my shrimps...:mad:

And get your teeth rotten. Honestly I cant understand why would you want to drink fizzy water all times ??? PS Apologies for hijacking your thread ;)

I guess metal scrap places will be happy to take them from you free of charge.I am not sure about local recycling centres, they will probably refuse take them

Do you have any idea why it has leaked at the first place.I am asking it because I have an old second hand Rio 125 too.I bought it 4-5 years ago from gumtree. Just wondering how reliable they are unless been moved constantly ...

Its API.I will feed a bit less fro a while and add some Tetra Safe Start to help the number of bacterias. Thanks to you all for taking time and answering my question.

Next time I will clean both together.Actually, I should move to an external filter. It will give me some more space in the tank as well..

I have tested it again just now and it is 0.5 ppm.The fish look happy and active and eating food.Shrimps are active, Ottos are munching on the leaves??? I am puzzled??! Should I add Seachem Prime again , keep doing WC or just leave it??!??

I will test the water this evening again. See how it goes.

I have Juwel 125 tank, for a long time I have not tested it for ammonia.I could not see all my rummy nose tetras (one missing) and I tested ammonia and it was around 0.25-0.5 ppm, nil nitrite & nitrate. I did a WC 40% last Sunday.I added an old circulation pump to increase flow. No new fish...

It is a beautiful tank,loved it.Did you cut moss balls at all or they just have spread themselves ? I will try microworms again.I feel guilty adding 3 pygmies without thinking about my substrate ( cat litter) and I would like to give them a little bit of extra.

Thats what I thought. Perhaps I should use one of those: https://www.co2supermarket.co.uk/2-way-splitter-for-co2-solenoid-regulator-p118.html but it is £33 :( and I only need another needle valve. I will ask to the vendor whether there is a way to split it after the regulator and put two needle...

I have a small bazooka diffuser, it is not enough for my tank and I am tried of https://www.completeaquatics.co.uk/tmc-aquagro-co2-plastic-power-diffuser-1000?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsMyhxKfI2QIVyb3tCh0PAA8OEAQYBSABEgIzEvD_BwE as they occupy too much space in the tank and need to run an extra power...

Sodium hypocholorite is bleach. Soduim chloride as you noted is common salt. Milton is 2% bleach.

Has anybody tried it? http://www.rendo-shrimp.de/epages/62701010.sf/sece05925878d/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62701010/Categories/Garnelen/Sonstige_Garnelen/Caridina_multidentata

Do you think J125 is too small for 4 or 5 angels ? They are nearly adults.

No but I will drop them a message, I guess I need a new one.:sick:

Knob does not function or I guess it does but not properly, as pressure goes up when wound clockwise until the very end, but drops quckly...

Hello folks My dual stage CO2 Art regulator stopped working.1st gauge that shows the pressure of the FE is fine but working pressure does not rise. It only rises if shut the needle valve completely which takes a long time anyway.And as soon as I start to send CO2 into the tank, it loses...

Hello you gals and girls. Unfortunately my CO2 regulator stopped working. Basically working pressure knob doesn't work. I can't raise pressure on working pressure gauge and can't get CO2 from the needle valve. Possibly internal mechanism of the regulator is broken. Is there any way to repair it...

Welcome to the forum I can send you some, if you accept to make a small donation to the forum.:)

I think your problem is excess food, they become overpopulated when there is excess fish food. You can use vegetables to catch them.They love courgette

I dont believe it will make a big difference in terms of economics,democracy or sovereignty if the UK leaves the EU .It is just rhetoric! But it will rise far right,xenophobia,anti-immigrant (not anti-immigration) policies.Have a closer look at it, who is happy with the result?

A fascist than a green! She is just stupid,if she has tasted a thin slice of fascism,she would have know how evil it is.And would not compare it to anything...

I will definitely do it if I go to ,although it was not on the top of my list but now it is. Do you know the address or website for it ?
