Hi Folks
Bit of an odd one this, I read that wood contains calcium, the oak chunks in my tank are friable on the surface and my new shrimp are feeding on this surface. Is the calcium available in a form that is available to shrimp and snails? My water is very soft but maybe there is no need to increase hardness or provide cuttle bone etc if there is a whopping big calcium source already there? The bladder snails have been there since the start and shells are not deformed.
Thanks!😀
