The litterbox has been used to take care of 3 kittens, their mother, and another cat (all my aunts cat's because she is living with us) and the cats were in there because the mother was mean to my cats. I moved all the cats out and brough my 2 cats in to the room recently. But the room was closed wi...

As for algae problem when using tap water I plan to put some snails/crab/and a urchin in the tank. It looks like I'm goin to get a spearer type mantis...

Because I plan to breed them as a food source for a new tank I'm planning and saw this convenient post on saltwater shrimp here :D . I think that the white shrimp have male/female sexes and can live in groups but for raising ...
