Sorry mate but I think you ended up in a wrong thread :lol: This is about dosing Excel and similar into planted shrimp tanks not about Plecos and Endlers :lol: Best is to sta...

Re: RCS and Seachem's Flourish

Hi Mustafa :-) *Over*dosing ferts can and does lead to organic buildup over the long run, too. Over-dosing is not necessary and should be avoided especially in tanks which aren't heavily planted and in non-CO2 tanks with low-lights (1-2 wpg). In CO2 injected tanks with High-lights plant's growing ra...

Re: RCS and Seachem's Flourish

There is one thing I have noticed on the Aquatic Net :) It is hard to find people which are concerned about the whole aquatic system rather than only be focused on plants (planted forums), or only on fish (fish forums), or only on shrimps (shrimp forums) not giving much chance to understanding the e...

I never had any problems with shrimps like CRS, R...

Re: RCS and Seachem's Flourish

I did some more testing with Easy Carbo (as Excel) in shrimp tanks and got another conclusion! Glutaraldehyde is not directly effecting shrimps but rather Glutaraldehyde in tanks with low Oxygen levels and low KH/GH. People I know which have medium to hard tap water have no issues with shrimps and E...

Re: RCS and Seachem's Flourish

I have tested one European product called Easy Carbo (same as Excel) in different planted tanks with CRS, RCS, and C. multidentata and all shrimps react the same. They stop eating and stay on one spot without moving, usually grouping together. Some shrimps also died instantly! In my experience, shri...

Sorry, my mistake. The saddle is yellow-orangeish. Not white.
