well so far so good no more losses. before i saw your post i had already done exactly what you said minus the bubbler. tested the water tonight and no ammonia and everything else's where its supposed to be. hopefully just a freak spike. thanks again for the advice.

wow.those are cool! i have 5 just plain olive ones.

i decided to feed blanched beets to my rcs. thought the color would enhance their color and beets are very nutritious. well now my tank is a beautiful hue of red. anyone know if beets are harmful to shrimp? they seem to like them. i hope i don't wake up tomorrow to a tank full of dead shrimp.

does anyone feed spirulina powder to their baby shrimps to help them get a good start?
