I was just reading about shipping plants on a planted tank forum and someone expressed concern that plants would be harmed while shipped inside a box for 4-5 days. The response was that nearly any plant survives the trip just fine. So after reading that, I am convinced that just about any plant you ...

YuccaPatrol, will the blackout kill plants? I don't have anything too delicate, but would rather not kill them. Also, I don't want a bunch of rotting plants to harm my shrimps if they die. (right now, the light is on a 12/12 hour on/off schedule) I have done this several times with my larger fish t...

A 90% water change is almost certainly too much. Did you do this before or after you thought there was a problem with the baby shrimp? Most likely, they are dead or dying because of shock from a large change in water conditions. Hopefully, they are just all hiding and are just fine even though you c...

Feeding living natural foods to Cherry Shrimp
After reading everything I can here and elsewhere about feeding, I've concluded that commercial foods should be only a small portion of the diet and that the shrimp should be able to find enough food in most any established aquarium. However, as population increases, the available natural foods will...

I suspect that removing the gravel caused some toxic crud to be released into the water. I do know that it is possible for suphur gases and other toxins to just sit down in the gravel until they are disturbed and released. I have not had it happen to me personally, but I have read on fish-forums tha...

Although I am going to follow the advice here and feed very sparingly from now on, I did want to ask about a food I found that looks to be very good with kelp and spirulina as the main ingredients. I bought a small can of Omega One Veggie Rounds before reading this thread. Ingredients: Whole Kelp, S...

. . . but they won't be able to do anything to the shrimp. . . . except eat them. I'd reconsider keeping those zebra danios in there even if they are just babies. Your shipment is likely to be composed of very small young shrimp and you want to grow them up and get them breeding before you begin ri...

I completely forgot about these shrimps until today when I found this thread while searching for Cherry shrimp info. A few years ago, my parents were in Hawaii and sent me a small little plastic cube with some of these shrimp. They were sold as a self-contained ecosystem, although we know that is re...

Is it possible for you to start a shrimp-only tank? I am new to this, with only a week experience keeping them, but I have been feeding my shrimp by placing algae covered decorations from other tanks into my shrimp tank. I have about 40 shrimp but most of them are very small, with only about 10 adul...

If you have planaria, then you are most likely feeding too much. This happened to me with fish when my wife and I both thought the other was not feeding the fish. I do like the malaysian trumpet snails. You may never actually be able to get rid of them once you have them, but I can't think of a reas...

I have been reading so much conflicting information about feeding shrimp. Some say that they should only eat algae and do not need high protein fish food. Others say to feed often and some say to feed very rarely. I've even found some people saying that they don't even feed their shrimp at all! The ...
