I'm not a shrimp keeper, but the water changes are too large causing big swings in stability! Follow Mark below and you won't go far wrong keeping Shrimp. https://www.youtube.com/@MarksShrimpTanks

Hi Indeed, Copper is highly toxic to inverts....therefore if you purchase plants dipped in a Copper snail eradication solution and add those plants to a Shrimp aquarium the Shrimp will perish through Copper toxicity!

Not really, fish food if they don't fly off by then! Use an air stone/sponge filter to keep some surface movement.

Not the clearest of videos! The wriggly creatures look like mosquito larvae! https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/bugs-you-might-encounter-in-your-aquarium.35994/

Cut a 6mm hole and add an airline tube with a small airstone.....I think you can get USB air pumps from Amazon!

Suppose they exhale CO2 when the lights are off as the Algae is a primitive plant....I think?

Morning Paulo Never hatched Brine Shrimp....I think you have to feed them spirulina powder! There are other foods like Boiled egg yoke/yeast.

Very interesting!

Probably more 🐌 where that came 🌿from!

Yes, fantastic shrimp and amazing video....could watch this for hours!! :happy::cool:

Not actually mine from this fellow! :happy: https://www.youtube.com/c/Tropictank

You could try cutting a very coarse sponge to fit inside the skimmer's head!

Looks like some sort of Nymph!

Yes, was an expensive watch as one large Ramshorn devoured two Buce Dark Theia leaves in about 30 minutes! I moved it into a another aquarium ;)

Ramshorns will eat Bucephalandra leaves if there is no other Bio Film or other source of food! hoggie

Red Ramshorn! One of the best for eating diatoms!

Free food for your fish. ;)

Looks like Detritus worm🪱....although they love inhabiting moss! Free food for your fish.

Yes, looks like it! https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/what-is-that.64026/

Freshwater Limpet! Can be a pest if you have Bucephalandra! Mr. Limpet likes attaching and leaving adhesion marks:(

That looks like a 0.1 reading to me! hoggie

Looks like Mini/Dwarf hair grass!

:lol::facepalm: So it is!!!...….:thumbup:

Hi Probably a larva....from a flying insect! Below is a Caddis Fly larva.

Hi These are free food for fish.....I wouldn't be to concerned about live interlopers to much! hoggie

Seachem Prime...Im not that keen on this product....because of the smell. Just wondering could there be a related issue with this product? hoggie

Hi John I think the TDS could be the problem. Leave off the fert dosing as i mentioned....3 to 4 small water changes a week would be a start. You could use RO water to reduce the tank TDS if available. hoggie

Hi John How much Macro/Trace are you dosing? I would stop dosing ferts as a test....try just water changes,small ones over the next month or two. Try and get TDS down to tap water TDS What colour is the Co2 drop checker? What stems do you have? Do you have a heater? hoggie

Have a look here viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21178&start=10 hoggie

Nice one Darrel I don't have my Dalek head on as much when i see these little TFT snails. Exterminate Exterminate :shh: :eh: :? hoggie

Other name is bladder snail. Still need to be kept under control, though they do seem to do some sort of clean up job. I think we should call them Tropical Freshwater Turbos.... because these guys are quick for their size :roll: hoggie

Hi Found this extract. It could be a Physa or Physella species, of the sort often called Tadpole Snails. They're basically harmless and feed on algae (diatoms, primarily) and organic detritus. Some people report damage to plants, but I have them in my planted tanks and they never seem to do any...

Above could also be a mitigating factor. Yea so get your posts up(25).....and start selling/swaping the shrimp on here :lol: Cheers hoggie

Yea I get what your are saying...regarding rainfall stimulation. I would have thought to simulate the breeding cycle the Kh would be 2-6 for talking sake. Then do a large water change to reduce the Kh to 0 reproducing the natural environment. Most rocks/stones will increase the Kh not lower...

Hi Not if he is using RO water. hoggie

I agree...Kh 1-15 is the recommendation. hoggie

Hi Shrimpy Here may lie your problem :arrow: ph 6.4, GH 5, KH 0 and TDS 120 Im not sure.....I would have thought shrimp would need higher Kh...for their well being. hoggie

:text-welcomewave: Hi I'm no shrimp breeder...what i have noticed in my little nano if I do regular water changes every few days it seems to stimulate them into moulting and breeding. hoggie

Hi Could be the food they feed them. hoggie
