I was in Petsmart yesterday and noticed a tank label for something called a "Marble Shrimp" there weren't any in the tank but it had a picture that looked just like Asian Filter Shrimp (Atyopsis moluccensis). The information listed had it as Atyopsis something but said it only grew to abou...

I want to ask if you will be willing to dose that tank with fertilizer on a regular basis just like you do to your other planted tanks no matter how much plants you put in the 10 gallon aquarium or what kind of substrate like you have mentioned earlier to see whether your RCS will thrive. If you do...

Try a search for "Ich" it's a question that's been passed around quite often.

Why will kuhlis eat adult shrimp when they don't bother snails in any way, shape or form? Snails are a much easier, slower target. I can't see it myself. I'm not certain as I've never had the Kuhlis myself but if they're omnivores then they might decide to snack, as for your apple snail maybe it's ...

Hi Dusko and welome to the forum, First off I want to congradulate you on an amazing tank, that 180 is just beautifull. Second I found the articles you have on algae are very informative(and a good read for anyone around here too...) and last of all you are an amazing photographer, keep up the good ...

Since they are omnivorous, the Kuhli Loach will generally eat all kinds of small live and frozen foods and meat based foods are relished the most. I would say that the Cherries wouldn't be very happy with Kuhli in the tank as they might end up on the menu. If they feel it nessesary to have fish you...

Heh, can't wait for the economy to fix itself, The Canadian dollar finally caught up with the American and that gravel is still twice the price on that guys Canadian site

Hey that's a great idea.....and no worries about the warranty because I am the wife. :lol: Cheers I know, I was just having a little fun, around here it's MY kitchen and if the GF is in there chances are it's microwavable. And to Badflash: Out here we have more dollar stores then you could shake a ...

so I came with with a great idea. I got a piece of airline and thought "i'll use this as a mini siphon"..... I popped one end in the tank....sucked the tube and yummy.....snail poo and tank water right in my mouth. :smt016 :smt076 I'm moving the nerites out of that tank. :roll: I don't re...

Finally got my reply about the Meds, I suppose it's old news now but here it is anyways. Dear Richard, Protozin does contain copper and is not safe for use in the tank that contains your shrimp. If your fish are suffering from a protozoan infection such as white spot then we would recommend Octozin ...

guess ill ask in the real fish shop i go to they may order me some if i set my tank up and just order a whole tanks worth of shrimp at once. If you do plan on getting a whole tank full make sure to take the time and read about each on on the Shrimp Varieties link on the left. Many of them need diff...

First off, Hi Roz and welcome to the forum. Second, I did some searching on the net and couldn't find any information about Protozin, just rumours and hearsay.... So I sent the company an email to see if they'll send any answers(I was curious), I'll post the reply when it comes but I'm sure if you f...

Good luck with your shrimp!

I'm curious though, why no substrate? easier to clean? I also have a 10 gallon and with no previous tank experience of my own my GF help me set it up but the thick layer of gravel is a pain to clean...
