Here is my main invert tank. There is a photo of it elsewhere on the forum, but I will put it here and talk about it a little. It is a 46 gallon bowfront. It is filtered by a fluval 304, I do not use carbon, so have filled the extra space with additional ceramic rings and foam. The prefilter is home...

Thanks Bill, Neonshrimp, zwergkrebszuechter, and Mustafa. I am biting my tongue now. The shrimp, that has been ill for so long has been hiding behind a Cryptocoryne since Saturday evening, it looks like he has shell shock. I do expect him to last much longer. I went to the store I used to work at to...

Sorry guys, the "Forum User Galleries" don't work anymore (and won't be working) after I upgraded the forum software. The Gallery software is only compatible with the old version of the forum software. Since this new forum allows picture attachments, I will establish a new forum for posti...

There are also two Otocinclus affinis. I would like to add to the species list in the future. I wou...

Read the species descriptions on this site.

Yes it is there to weight it down.

One types that I have made that works pretty well uses some stuff you may already have. Here is the material list: -an empty plastic fish food can with label removed -a 9" section of 1" diameter tubing (not the flexible kind) -a 1" air stone -filter floss or foam -a handful of gravel ...

I hope whatever is wrong with this shrimp is not contagious, it is living with my cherry shrimp.

I was also a bit surprised because I have never had an ill shrimp successfully molt, they have died before molting.

I don't think replying sarcastically is is appropriate here at all. If you think you know better, then fine..but then why ask the question in the first place if you think you know better anyway. I did not intend it to sound sarcastic, I apologize if it came across that way. I was merely stating tha...

I agree with Kenshin. The fewer chemicals the better. I only use a dechlor in my shrimp tank. I also do not use carbon in it. The canister filter (Fluval 304) is just a huge bio filter with different foams and ceramic rings.

Then he has not been doing well since October, over three months. He has also grown a centimeter larger while not doing well.
