    Amano Breeding Behavior?

    The big girl has shed over night as well. Perhaps they were being gents and helping her take her coat off? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Amano Breeding Behavior?

    My tank is definitely not spotless! The make just seemed to be riding along on her back. Will try and make a video. Thanks T Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Amano Breeding Behavior?

    Noticed a triad of Amanos wondering around the tank with a little one piggy backing a big one. Is this what breeding looks like? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Water Butt and Daphnia

    Tried taking a photo of my colony today, you can see the wood (old bit of oak root). Water butt is teaming with them at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Water Butt and Daphnia

    They are quite happy in my water butt with a lid (have small children). As Darrel says they will need some food, I have some old lumps of bog wood in mine. I’ve started feeding them with a jar of green water a week and the population has boomed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Temperature range for daphnia outdoors?

    As above, I’ve got a large rain butt full of them. Even when frozen on top they were still swimming around. Just break the ice and dip in a net! I think the key is using the biggest container you can for all sorts of reasons around stability. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shrimp With Boesemani Rainbows

    Amano’s are pretty big and won’t reproduce so probably worth a try. They are pretty quick too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shrimp With Boesemani Rainbows

    Would Echo the above. Even small fish can and will eat baby shrimp. The trick is having lots of stems and moss to shelter the little ones. I’ve got small rainbow fish (ribbon tail) they show no interest in the adult shrimp. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Daphnia Advice

    Just started to get cold here, I imagine the population would increase only very slowly. After watching some of Rachel O’Leary’s videos, I definitely want to try a tub or two next summer. Might be good for Rainbow fish breeding? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Daphnia Advice

    Thanks Edvet, that’s a good idea. Probably green water much less likely to pollute the culture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Daphnia Advice

    I’m trying to maintain a culture of Daphnia. I had a go with a small 12 L tank with an air pump, this was set up in my garage, the temp did get low (<10 C) but didn’t freeze. The daphnia survived a few weeks but gradually declined in numbers. I’m now trying indoors with a 5 L jar, it’s got some...

    Amanos don't come out anymore

    I’ve had similar after a big re-scape recently. Females are all berried now. They seem to be coming out again now, chasing for food etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pest snails - best bait for traps?

    Never had that with mine, once seen them feed on an already dead shrimp. They seem too slow to catch cherries or amanos Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pest snails - best bait for traps?

    Best thing is Assassin Snails, I had dozens of pest snails, now virtually none (after about 1 month) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Shrimp stunting with over-population

    Interesting theory, seems to hold true. Also the vast numbers of Cherry shrimp in the big tank don't seem to affect the CRS, I guess it's species specific.

    Shrimp stunting with over-population

    This may have been discussed previously, if so re-direct me. I've noticed that in my 30 L nano which has dozens of juvinle CRS that they don't really reach adult size. I put 24 in my big tank which has loads of cherry shrimp but no other CRS and they have already rapidly increased in size (in...
