    Which Substrate do you use for RCS?

    I used 2 bags of the Sulawesi Black in my 30x30x30 and it gave a good deep covering approx 2 inch at the front up to approx 4 inch at the back so 5 bags should be fine, the DeponitMix imo is rubbish if your want a plant substrate base id go for the tropica one ;)

    Hydra? Or am I worrying overly?

    My guess would be that its coincidence I dont see any amount of hydra killing even a dwarf cory, did you empty the water from the daphnia into the tank ? If so this could be a more likely cause especially if the cory was not in top condition ?

    How much harder is it to maintain water parameters with a small tank

    In my mind go for the 60p the smaller ones are really nice but you will get to a point where you sit there wishing you had just that bit more room,

    How much harder is it to maintain water parameters with a small tank

    In my experience the only thing thats slightly more difficult in small tanks is temperature and id go as far as saying difficult is the wrong word, its just something you have to keep an eye on especially in summer, small tanks under 30l can heat up very quickly, as for water quality ive never...

    Do I need to boil alder cones?

    I used to boil mine when I used them in breeding tanks but many breeders I know just put them straight in, I only boiled mine just to be 100% sure there was no nasties

    I may be completely wrong but I think I read somewhere that kuhli loach and shrimp are a big no no ?

    Eggs dropped

    Thanks for the vote of confidence mark :-) I try and keep all params as stable as is possible in 12 Liters of water, maybe time I convinced the wife they need a bigger tank for a better quality of life :-) My misses used to always fall that one :)

    Eggs dropped

    Im no expert on shrimp but from what ive read shrimp drop eggs mainly for 2 reasons, bad water and stress these can be constantly changing water parameters such as temp, ph, hardness etc but your tank atleast to my eyes this doesn't seem to fit, hopefully someone else might have a better idea

    The Great Cherry Red Shrimp Die Off

    Imo opinion when people talk about cherry shrimp being hardy they are right to an extent unfortunately similar to the good old guppy and goldfish they have been interbred so much the hardiness simply vanishes, the fact you bought them from a lfs would suggest that they may well be cheap inports...

    CBS & CRS ?

    Im quite new to shrimp but from what ive been reading cbs and crs are the same species and do breed together due to them being the same species just a different colour form if a cbs and crs breed you can get either cbs or crs shrimplets and in (again from what ive read) most case you will get a...
