    Feeding Nettles

    Firstly, are these nettles? I know what you're thinking, just run them on your skin and see, no chance haha. Just wondering if there's something that looks similar to a nettle that I shouldn't be putting in there. I hear shrimp love them but do I dry them out first or just boiling water over...

    Amano and Blue Ram

    Anybody tried this combination successfully? Been having a stare into my tank and came to the conclusion that what it might be lacking right now is some feature fish. My LFS has some nice pairs of Blue Rams in and I'm so tempted but I have quite a few Amano shrimp in there. Won't risk it if...

    How Long Will Shrimp Survive in post?

    Had a bit of a disaster with some cherries :( I bought 10 off ebay and got them delivered to where I work on next day delivery. I was late getting to work this morning (long story) and just missed the post. The person in the unit next door said they never came to the door and never left...

    Amanos and EasyCarbo

    What's your opinions on higher dosing with these inverts and what are the warning signs to look for? I've tried ridding my algae problem with good maintenance which in effect is fuelling the algae. Looks like time to OD with easy carbo I was thinking about starting off 2x recommended dose.

    School Boy error with happy ending!

    Four week ago without looking into things too much I bought 4 Amano shrimp, I only ever managed to see 1 at any one time then when I took out my internal filter I found two bodies underneath :shock: flashing back to when the filter slid of its suckers I pushed it back into the corner I thought...
