Thanks for the suggestions. Are there any creatures that will eat the blue/black bush algae? I have a fair amount growing on my sword plant and I was just removing it manually.

Filters Safe for Shrimp

I have a 55 gallon tank that I am thinking of converting into a shrimp tank. I have a few penguin filters in it and I'm wondering if they will be safe for shrimp. I have the 125 and 330 models in my tank. However, I have modified the filter intake so the intake tube is only a few inches long. Both o...

Red Cherry Shrimp Algae Diet

In my tanks, I have some black hair algae and green spot algae. I was wondering if red cherry shrimp will eat it? If not, will any other shrimp eat it? The green spot algae is very tough. I'm wondering if they will be able to get it off?

If you plan to keep crabs in your tank, you must have land. If not, they will find a way to escape. They are very good a climbing on the cords of heaters and any other way out of the tank.

How about if I switch the danios with white cloud mountain minnows? They seem to be more peaceful and smaller than danios. I definately want to get the cherry shrimp to reproduce.

Red Cherry Shrimp and Zebra Daniois

Hi, I am interested in adding some Red Cherry Shrimp and I would like to know if they are compatable with zebra danios. I have a 38 gallon tank with 8 zebra/lepard danios, 3 ottos and lots of live plants. Is it likely that these shrimp will have any trouble with the danios? They danios are an inch o...
