True CRS need acidic water, but I have heard that moderatly hard water is good for their outer skeleton. I have my ph at 6.6 to 6.8 and my hardness is at 160 which is moderatly hard. It seems to be fine as I have several babies from different broods and all seems well. My tank is large and I may not...

Thanks neon for the info. I was not able to raise the filter so as to have the air bubbles higher, but I did slow the bubbles down and that has worked real well as they no longer go to the top. And they have certain colored up real nice since their arrival. My babie Greens are swimming around the ta...

Hi everyone, Before I ask my question I just wanted to let you all know I finally have snowflakes that are about three weeks old. I also have babie Greens which are only a few days old, (dang they are tiny.) All my other shrimp are doing well. My Crystals and bees have babies also and believe it or ...

I do have 3 of these sponge filters and I really like them. As stated before you can clean one sponge while leaving the other alone til the next cleaning. I also like that it shoots water sideways instead of straight up. Also the shrimp munch out and rest inside the grooves on the sponge.

Congrats on your snowflakes, I think thats awesome as I myself am awaiting for the arrival of snowflakes. I am glad to hear yours did it in a 10 gal. as mine would not even consider it til I put them in a 20 gallon. Does this mean Im raising brats?

Thanks Neonshrimp, Is breeding shrimp my main goal right now? Yes, but for more than one reason. I have spent my whole life around aquariums. I have had a 80 gal. for thirteen years which is a community tank. I then purchaced this 55 gal. for other fish. I spent hours a week on these tanks and loved...

Thanks you two, I am pretty excited. I personally dont think its overcrowding in my case. I only had 9 greens and 3 snowballs in the 10 gal. and nothing was happening. So when I was getting the new shippment of greens in I decided to move them all into the 20 gal.. Now the new shrimp I recieved are ...

I'm back with good news, first off my berried Snowball shrimp, well I :D can see the eyes in these eggs as of yesterday, well Im assuming their eyes as They dark spots in them, so I am hoping it wont be long til they hatch. I recieved my S grade Crystals Thursday and all arrived alive and are doing ...

Hi Badflash,

I have high hopes for these, they look pretty good. I have them floating in my Discus tank in their bags. How long do you think it might take?

Hi Neonshrimp & lampeye, Thanks for your replies. I agree, its been alot of heartache, but also alot of joy, the lastest being the eggs on my female Snowball lastnight. So far My ammonia levels have stayed at zero, I do water changes but not every week. I feed them twice a day and its always fun...

First off I would like to say hi to all and to thank you for all the info I have recieved from this site over the last several months. Some of you are my shrimps lifesavers Im hear to tell ya. I got my shrimp bug about a year ago and I have become very (ok)extremely addicted. I would like to introdu...
