Addition :

I ask the above question because I find that my shrimps poop much more than my Tetra do.

How often do you clean the filter?

Hello Shrimp Friends, My shrimps live with my Tetra in a 10-gallon tank. As the tank water is always clear, I seldom clean the things inside the filter box. I change about one tenth of tank water either once every a few days or once a week. And I remove the old charcoal and sponge from the filter bo...

I leave them there. They eat shells.

Ha ha, two hours ago I bought two juvenile Bee shrimps and two juvenile Black-Shell shrimps (In fact the shell is not black at all. There are just a few dots on the body). Now they're all living in my breeding tank. Now these four new members look tiny among the two cherries and two tigers. :D :) :l...

Hi Mustafa,

In my country we call those filters that completely work under the water "submarine type". Some filters are on the top and some filters are hung outside the tank. Submarine filters are wholly in the water.

Oh Shrimpmania, Very sorry to hear that. I don't have any experience on your problem. But let's work it out with our shrimp friends here. Well, is it possible to net away the mosquito larvae and then add a lid to the top of your tank ? I've heard that a plant (land plant, not water plant) called Mos...

I've heard a shopkeeper say that a guy bought 100 tetra from her shop here Hong Kong and took them to Germany. She made the plastic bag much more oxygen than usual. She said the guy gave her a call that all tetra arrived in Germany safety. That's all I know.

If any shrimp friends would list some poisonous plants here, if technically possible, I do hope that photos can be attached coz most dictionaries don't have plant names as specific as that. Thanks very much !

Hi Ljung, I also feed my tetra every day and every one of them get some food. I worry about overfeeding and cloudy water, and therefore I don't give them much food. They swallow all I give them within one minute. But I'm glad to hear that shrimp babies can live with them. That really surprised me. B...

Hi Mustafa, (1) My tigers are not only healthier now, but they look prettier as well. Now their tails and noses are in orange. They look colourful. :lol: (2) My tank is one and a half years old. I'm using a submarine-type filter. Then should I stop using amonia killer or should I use it occasionally...
