Just read this post today and I will be going to wall-mart sometime this week for some sponges. Thanks to this site i've been able to learn a lot about keeping my shrimp as happy and healthy as possible.

A tiny update.
Lately Ive been "seeding" small Java Ferns in the center of a given sponge.
The Java Fern attaches and spreads out in a fan like fashion out of the top of the sponge.
It looks really natural and the Java Fern seems to enjoy growing into the sponge.
Its now been a very long time that I have had these sponges in my tanks with no noticeable detrimental effects...
Im going to wait till I prune the plant a bit before I take pictures....
I actually like the effect so much that I got like a bunch of little gallon jugs each with little sponges with a Java Fern growing in it. So I can put "Java Fernized Sponges" in all my aquariums.....
