Re: cpo breeding

Re: 2 Questions: Removing ugly algae & unwanted crustaceans

that sounds like daphnia, although a little big. it's a good sign though it means your tank is nicely settled, mature and you have good water quality, getting rid of them i believe is impossible. as for the algae try cutting down and the amount of light the tank gets and thet should do the trick.

Re: 2 Questions: Removing ugly algae & unwanted crustaceans

Re: Interesting shrimp

i've seen preety simular coloured shrimp to those in germany called "goldflake" although it does seem like you've got a mix of cardinal and that to get that pattern, i think the large spot on the lower back should be yellow though.
