I found a deformed cherry shrimp last weekend in my filter. Non functioning 'whiskers' and the head was slightly upwards. Still alive but died the other day.

Amano shrimps release their eggs in brackish water ( half strength of marine water) where the zoes mature and return to freshwater once fully developed. I fed mine infusoria which seemed to work but water changes have to be done daily. I failed twice to produce any mature amano shrimps and since...

My bengal loaches have all been fine and respect the plants, not sure about other loaches though. The devastator (transformers)(geek) in my tank is my bristlenose plec who goes wherever he wants and chomps through anything in its way. Eg. Wisteria Stems.

I have some bengal loaches and they are amazing at neutralising snail infestation. Had snails everyhwere in my tank and found some eggs hidden under some bogwood. Let these guys loose and about a week later empty shells everywhere. Not a fun time removing them but better than snails all over the...

I've done a recount and found there are about 25. Even better!!! Also about the comment about a better chance of survival of the zoes if light is on 24/7, how would this work in the wild. Is it the same in the wild?? Would the shrimps only breed during periods of the year when there is only...

From what i've read the zoes should be put into full marine water as soon as they hatch from the mother. The mother should be removed before changing to full marine. As the zoes begin to metamorphise and develop into juveniles the salinity of the water should be brought down to brackish...

Been nearly a week and have only got about 15 zoes that are left in my tank. Working hard to make sure no more die. Hopefully my first breeding experience will be successful.

My amano hatched her eggs last night. Some are moving vertical phototactically and there are others that are lying on the base of the tank, still. Hoping some of the still start moving soon as then I can transfer them into a breeder marine tank. Just a quick q. I am going back to uni in a...

Just wondering if you can use API aquarium salt to increase the salinity of the water? The guide provided by Wolfenrook is good but I would like to know if the food used to feed the zoes is enough for them to grow?? It seems I'm not that far from my female releasing her eggs as I am now able...

I have just found one of my females is carry eggs. They are a darkish orange/brown colour at the moment. It is hard to make out each individual egg unless you get really close to her. When should I move her to another tank? Also I was wondering how do you work out how much salt you add to make...
