Cave? There were multiple sponges inside a mound of java moss.

I see... thing is this tank is several months old and the rcs are breeding like mad. Tank parameter were fine too.

So i was at walmart about two weeks ago and they had wood shrimp, which they of course had labeled as flower shrimp. Anyways I thought they were really cool as they filter feed and purchased one last week to go into my rcs tank. Well the retarded shrimp sat on the back rear of my sponge filter for f...

My sponges are currently coated with java moss and look awesome.

Im going to college at northern Michigan university in the upper peninsula of MI. Small town = no aquarium club

I rinsed them in old tank water before placing them into my aquarium. One of the employees told me they purchase it from a local guy when it out grows his tank so i doubt there were any stuff in there to kill snails and what not. Other shrimp are happily eating away but im going to keep on eye on th...

Local pet store had some java moss for two bucks a bunch so I got the last two bunches. Not the nicest looking java moss as some of it is brown but I decided Id wrap some around my sponges... shrimp seem to like it as they can chill on the moss then climb into the sponge.

Added two more sponges today from fish tank, shrimp went crazy for them and immediately began searching for food off of them. Had one unexplainable death of one of my adult cherries, but it was several days after I had put the first sponge in. Im thinking there was a water quality issue as i did a 4...
