So wait now I'm confused. Is CO2 bad for shrimp too? And I thought you could use small amounts of fertilizers without affecting shrimp?

Also I noticed shrimp seem to stay within their own species, amanos with amonos, ghosts with gosts, cherries with cherries, etc. The only shrimp that don't seem to do this are my macrobrachiums. I wonder, why they wouldn't they interact with the other species. Sometimes they eat together, but when a...
