I would vote against Otos too. They are very prone to dying a couple of weeks after introduction. Nerite snails can’t usually reproduce in fresh water. They are pretty good on wood and anubias leaves. CRS won’t make a huge dent in algae but help clean other detritus and are fascinating:)...

I would agree with the above. My two are very peaceful to Killies they live with and shrimp. They squabble with each other but not to the point were damage occurs. Mine will only eat live food. I bet daphnia out of my rain butt and pop them in 2 - 3 times a week. Great fun to watch them hunt...

You could also try fishing for it! Hooks come in tiny sizes 22 -26, can also get barbless ones pre attached to fishing line. Blood worm or shrimp as bait? Probably not what most people would want to do but depends how badly you want it out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The smart shrimp are now living in about 1 cm of water on top the big Bolbitis. Safe from the preds! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a huge number of cherries. My tank is fairly jungle like: Pretty sure these guys are responsible for their disappearance: I could still find shrimp in there but would need to turn over rocks etc. Re the sex of your fish. We need some close ups of the fins. They are probably a bit...

That’s how they get the taste for blood! I have two female Rams and a pair of Nanocarra annomala and they hunt like a pack. Flushing out shrimp from dense plants. I’m trying to rescue those I can to my new tank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My Rams are shrimp killers. Cherry’s for sure will die. Not seen them touch Amanos. My tank has a lot of moss/cover but they hunt methodically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lovely fish, quite the micro predators. Live daphnia? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks so much for all the great information! They are a super little fish very active, always exploring the green reef. Will look out for a lucky lad to join them. T Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Tommy, It’s my AS 900 (90x50x45) https://www.ukaps.org/forum/threads/10-years-gone-aquascaper-900.53086/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all for confirming my suspicions. I’m quite pleased as I was under the impression that females were difficult to come by. Now I’m not sure about adding a male? Don’t want one of the females to end up the bullied spinster! I could just stick with two females, they seem to hang around...

I picked up two juvenile Rams today. I was planning to get some for a while but was looking out for a female. These two were the only ones left. I thought they both looked female. Opinions? Either way they are great little fish, very pleased [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice guys. I find both species very interesting. I’ve had the peacocks before but yet to see Badis for sale. I’ve seen Stiphodon gobies at a Maidenhead aquatics (can’t recall the species) they also seem like real characters but sound like they need lots of algae to feed on...

Cool, I was wondering if they would come to blows, being similar looking species? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all, Just scaped my tank, it features a lot of lava rock, this has loads of little nooks and caves. I’m not going to add any fish for a while (I have 2 SAEs + cherry and Amano shrimp already). However I am thinking about stocking. I was thinking about either Peacock Gudgeon or Scarlet...

Wow he’s so cute! Never managed to get any tetra fry to survive. So nice when reproduction occurs, sign that the tank is healthy. I hear Norman’s Lampeyes are fairly easy to breed in a planted tank as they’re not particularly predatory. Nice work, T Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never had any problems with plants but voracious predators of any insects falling into tank. Amazing to see them swallow whole daddy long legs! Not sure I'd trust em with shrimp.

My Boras brigatte, will happily play in the outflow of my lilly pipe but they do need a quiet spot to rest. I have 10 in my 30 L nano but I think up to 15 would look fine. Tom P.S I think brigatte have the nicest colours but that's just my opinion.

Mine get along fine, they never bother my adult cherries or CRS but I've never seen any baby shrimp, that might just be my fault but I reckon they'd chomp babies. Thay are excellent algae eaters, even tackling BBA, they are far superior to Otto's in that respect but they do indeed seem to nibble...

I have a shoal of embers but I crave some blue in the tank, do you think adding a shoal of green neans would look weird ? T

I got 12 in my 260l and they are very shy despite being overgrown with lots of surface stuff. They are really pretty and colour up well, mine nip out at feeding time. They share with embers wich are not much bigger and I have 30 of those but this doesn't seem to encourage them out ? TGM have...

Thank's for the advice :D

I used to have a shoal of pygmy chain loaches, would they be ok with shrimps and plants like HC or is it all likley to end in tears?

I had a similar problem with three Denasoni Barbs which were ripping up all my hair grass. They're fast and smart (seem to get wise to each technique). I built a boma out of slate (african game reserve style) with a vase at the end as the trap which if herded correctly the fish have no choice...
