That's just a fantastic idea!! :D

Anyone suggest any Algae eating snails, that would not take over the tank and are easier to look after.

scratch that.... KH= between 0 and 3 not at great deal of difference in the green colour on the tester

Water Cl2 =0 PH between 6.4 and 6.8 KH =0 GH between 8d and 16d NO2 =0 NO3 =25 Ferts: Potassium Nitrate & Potassium Phosphate (SAME BOTTLE) Potassium Nitrate 39g to 500ml for the solution Potassium Phosphate 30g to 500ml for the solution dosage = 50ml 3 times per week Trace 18g to 500ml for...

Tank is 4ft 240L

I am kind of puzzled as to what it is I am doing wrong....I have bought 3 nerite snails at a time on three occasions now...they seem to be ok and then after a week or so they die, my latest 3 lasted a little longer this time but it looks like I'm down to my last one. Could it be too much co2...

thanks Mr Luke will update the list :)

Interested to see what happens should the rams breed as they get very territorial

list updated keep them coming! What do you think about rams....blue/german although water temp may rule these out anyway

Now thats the info I want.....So Rainbows are a big no no!

No I wasn't thinking of large numbers, if so I would set up a shrimp tank, what I was thinking about was putting them in a community tank...I read that they are great for algae control and then I read dont have them with certain fish :crazy:

Yes I know about the size of mouth rule but I am trying to get a sence of what other are safely getting away with...I will be having Tiger Shrimp with lots of plants and therefore lots of hiding places

GREAT IDEA! I will add your starter to the begining of this post!

well they are veggies so that was an easy one.....if you have shrimp and fish together, what do you have?

Can we start a list of safe fish that can be kept with shrimp in the community tank. The List other members have so far: Just to point out this list is based on other members experiences not mine! :!: Chocolate Gouramis Ottos Pygmy Corydoras Boraras mataculas Boraras brigittae (chilli...

:D :D :D know what you men....I found them this morning, think they are a little shy and went in hiding for two days after tank introduction

will gold rams eat tiger shrimp?

I found some zebra and onion on ebay....http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-Live-water-RED-Onion-Snail-Tropical-tank-Algae-Eater_W0QQitemZ130370705847QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pet_Supplies_Fish?hash=item1e5ab319b7

sticking at 25C for now see how we go

Silly question is 24C ok for the fish?

Getting some Tiger Shrimp delivered and was wondering what water temp suits them....Tank is 26C at the moment

Tried Aqua Essentials a few times always out of stock

Trying to find some Nerite snails and Tiger Shrimp online without any joy :( Placed an order with UK shrimp...but they cancelled and sent a refund and the snail shop is closed while they have a baby. Any suggestions?

Thanks Matty and Andy for your advice...

Are you saying snails cant live in a tank with CO2?

I am getting some snails delivered and am wondering what is the safest way to add them to my planted co2 tank....I recently added three nerite snails which all died :oops:

Any sound advice on the introduction of Shrimps and Snails to the tank?

I bought 3 nerites snails..they have not moved in days, I think the co2 may have killed them :jawdrop

For future reference...I completed the course of treatment without any loss of snails although two of my German Rams never made it :(

One of my new rams has got stressed and has a few white spots....can I use Protozin if I have Assassin Snails in the tank?

Thanks Fred....Looks like he can go back to the shop :wink:

But will the Yoyo eat the assassins?

I have one Yoyo loach that I think maybe anorexic, as he is not helping me with my snail problem. I am thinking of getting some assassin snail but I am worried the yoyo might start eating again and eat the assassins. Will the Yoyo eat them? Will the snails do a better job? If the snails are...
