Hi All, I've been out of the game for a while now and have fallen out of touch with the latest products, advice etc. I'm starting a new cube geared towards crystal shrimp and was wondering what the best/recommended substrates currently are. I'm planning on low tech mainly mosses and anubis with...

I believe they need similar parameters to crs/cbs http://www.planetinverts.com/breeding%20softwater%20shrimp%20by%20kenshin.html

Have you tried no heater? My unheated shrimp tank sits around 21deg.

Well some googling has got me this far: aquatic diptera larvae. Still none the wiser to its exact ID. Any idea if its likely to pose a danger to my shrimp?

Hey guys any idea what this is?

Hi All, Im soon to be setting up dedicated shrimp tank and would like to try push my cherries to sakura grade. I have 5 or 6 perfect females I was wondering how people go about selecting males?

Nerite eggs are very hard to remove from hardscape but not so bad to get off the glass but their cleaning prowess is worth the putting up with the eggs and lack of multiplication.

The safest way to cycle a tank is to plant it and leave it for a few weeks. Fishless cycling is mainly used for tanks where people want to dump a load of messy fish on a tank at once, think malawi setup. If you dont add a large bioload straight away it makes the amonia method pointless

Dont wait on the plants, give it to them from the get go. If you are going to hold anything back make it light.

If your still getting cyano you need to up your nitrate dosing. As far as I'm aware there is no fresh water algae eater that will touch the stuff

Was wondering if anyone has seen a FW shrimp do this...

I've been told in the past king kongs dont breed true either......

I've not used one, but at a glance they dont seem to offer anything different to any other small tank.

The only tester you need is a TDS meter and remineralise the ro using a mix like seachem equalibrium to the appropriate TDS level (TDS = Total Disolved Solids)

Hi All Was wondering if people have any issues with keeping amanos with smaller shrimp?

:shock: Im glued. Cant offer much in the way of help except that BTW = By The Way

When I had mine 2 or 3 would work together and take out adult cherries.

Thanks all Nice to know if they get too numerous they make good fish food. Thanks Ollie

Thanks, There is only 6 or so and they are pretty big the largest being 13-15 mm across, Ive not seen any small ones but i think my fish may be eating any small ones. After a quick google it seems they are probably plant safe? Regards Ollie

Hi All Can anyone I.D. this snail please. Also is it good or bad for plants. Thanks Ollie
