Re: New Tank & Algae After 7 Days

What's your salinity? Even if that particular Caulerpa grows at lower salinity levels, they tend to go "sexual" at some point and melt all at the same time. Reef keepers can tell you all kinds of stories about that. A large reef tank may be able to absorb that kind of pollution, but a smal...

Re: Newby seeking advice

Oh no! Sorry to hear/see that! I wouldn't wait too long and transfer your shrimp over as soon as possible. Obviously their old home is literally killing them. The container looks fine, but what's the volume? For best long term results it should be at least half a gallon in my experience. As for the ...

Re: 1st time trying a shrimp tank = failure.

What you are describing sounds like poisoning symptoms. It's hard to say what it may be, but something is definitely getting into your water. Also, you're not feeding at all right now, are you? (You shouldn't).

Re: Horrible algae problem and shrimp dying

How often do you feed and how much? What algae killer did you use? Almost all of them contain copper sulfate, which is poisonous to shrimp. Algae can't grow on nothing, so it's either too much food, or something is rotting in the tank. The most obvious things rotting in your tank are those plants. M...

Re: Oxygen and gas exchange

Also, can you post a picture of your container and opening so we can have a better idea what we're dealing with? As they say: "a picture speaks a thousand words."

Re: THE BIG MOVE COMING UP

No problem! Yes, the surface film is a type of biofilm too and shrimp like to pick on it swimming upside down once your population grows and enough shrimp get interested in it. The biofilm we talk about usually grows on surfaces, such as the sides of the tank, the substrate, rocks, decoration etc.. ...

Re: What is this white fuzz?

They may not be eliminating it, but i'm sure they'll pick at it, at least the parts that are decaying.

Re: Orange Supershrimp breeding project -- finally!

In a few days to weeks. They won't be cheap, though, due to how few there are in existence currently.

Re: 1st time trying a shrimp tank = failure.

For some reason I completely missed the pictures! Also, I guess I was hoping you had a picture of your prior setup. What kind of white sand is it? It's not "live sand" from the pet store, is it? Did you thoroughly rinse it until the water ran clear?

Re: Something Jelly Appeared In My Tank

I see, keep us updated. These are very interesting animals. They did not reproduce, I assume, right?
