Mine also get very active afterwards, not during. However, in my case, both temp and pH is about the same.

I love to do water changes because of the activity that I get to see right after one.

OH... I'm sorry to hear this... really, I know how it feels... :( Did you test the pH of the water? Maybe it became too acidic due to so many nutrients (food, waste, etc.) and that did not help their molting. How long was the tank they were in set up? Maybe the the tank had not finished its cycling ...

Amanda,

Done.

Check yours...

You..? Really..?

Oh by the way... the cat remark... that was supposed to be a joke...

Well... I guess people here either do not know about FW shrimps or don't care about them. As a result, stores only stock what people want. I have only seen japonicas and ghosts, nothing else. Maybe if I lived closer to Orlando I'd have a better chance but I need to take a 45 minute drive to get to t...

Never mind the price...

I cannot even get the little thingies around here.

Huh?

This business of being 40 sort of has slowed me down somewhat...

I don't get it... (And yes, I know Amanda... it probably is because I DON'T HAVE A CAT !!!!! )

Hmmm. Maybe it's because you don't have a cat...

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!

You're too much, too much!!!!



Have a great weekend!

Amanda, I also got some of the same critters with some xmas moss I got as a gift from a guy I bought some java moss from and yes, they look like "rolly pollys"... :-D I only had a few and I was never able to find what kind of creatures they were. They disappeared after I located the moss i...

Thank you for the replies.

These are adult Ghosts and yes, it is small specimen of the common pleco. As of now, none of the ghosts seem to be pregnant so no worries about baby ghosts right now. I have no idea about the future, though...

Thank you for the input.

Maria.

Yeah...

I want those guys too...

Can't find them around here, though...

Wow... :shock: I wish mine could do that... Mine are not terribly afraid but are not that friendly. Hmmm... I am envious of you guys; Amanda_h's shrimps help her kill unwanted snails, yours climb onto your fingers... Do I have to change my name to Amanda to get some respect from my shrimps ???? :? M...

For those of you who keep cherries, amanos, ghosts and any other kind of FW shrimps in your planted tanks...

Do you fertilize your tanks? If so, do you just rely on CO2 or do you also use macro and micro nutrients?

Thank you.

Maria.

I have a 20g planted tank that has suffered a lot due to the aftermath of 3 different hurricanes. What once was a lushly planted tank has been reduced to a ... well... a kind of a barren looking "thing". Due to so many power outages, intense heat periods, no carbon and very few water chang...
