Does anybody knows if there is a transhipper around in the UK? I was in Singapore recently and I've got in contact with one of the shrimp specialty shop worker. They are happy to do the shipping but they are not sure about the rules and regulation in the UK. Does anybody knows what it takes to...

I'm thinking of DIY an external CO2 reactor. Would brass hose barb be safe with invert and fish?

I've been looking around to find a decent nerite snails. My LFS has some of it but they are never healthy. First seen them in the tank a week after they arrive and then return a week later to see how they are doing and 90% of them appear dead. I've tried purchasing those one that appear alive...

Nice CRS but as you can see the white part has a yellowish tinge to it and it's not pure solid white bar. Probably the seller had Golden CRS gene incorporated into this shrimp. Will need a lot more of selective breeding to get it white again. sigh... Again high grade pattern here but...

i've recently purchased some otocinclus and RCS for my CRS shrimp tank. Bought it from maidenhead aquatic in Stockport. Looking at how the guy handled the fish, I wasn't pleased at all. Not only he picked some really deformed otos to put in the bag, he even bagged me a fish that looks half dead...

Initially I bought some apple snail from snailshop and it says on the webpage that the snail only consume dead plant matter and algae. But recently I've been finding lots of damage leaves in my tank. Some looks as if it's being strip down to it's centre vein. So I did a search on yahoo and...

I'm planning to get some crystal red shrimp from overseas once my tank has been running for a while and the cycling process has completed. Most probably be looking at S grade and above. It would be cheaper to buy more as the shipping cost remains the same. Just wondering if anyone else is...

Anyone else keep this snail in their tank? Just got 6 from snailshop today and they start working immediately when I threw them in the water. I know they do burrow into the substrate and keep turning the substrate over and it helps to prevent H2S build up in anaerobic spaces. Just wondering does...
