    1/10/09 Update: Well i kind of had a lover's tiff so to speak with it, and neglected it. For several reasons, everything practically died and the water was constantly cloudy. Managed to sort the cloudlyness which was probably a bacterial bloom from dying plants and all of a sudden the extra...

    Keeton's 10g nano

    From my experience they only tend to fight when you have 2 males in a small tank like this, if i do get 2 i plan on getting a male and a female so there shouldn't be any fighting.

    40w light on a 10 gallon

    amano and TPN+

    hi guys does tpn+ kill shrimp when over dosed?
  28. keeton

    Cambomba

    i've always had good luck with this plant even in a tank with low light no co2 or ferts. if you got good light co2 and ferts then a good trim often promotes growth and normally gets it growing rapily.

  32. keeton
