Are we talking about LEDs still or actinic type fluroresent tubes, because unless your tank is really small or shallow the lights produced by the LEDs wont cover much of an area. This would be more true if you have plants in the tank.

Lunar/moon lights are basically small LED lights that produces a blue beam luminating an area of water in your tank. Reef keepers use it for marine organisms because the LED lights simulates them with the "moon-like" feel just like in nature. Another reason why reef keepers use them is because the ...

To Shrimp&Snails:

Theres a difference between a small enclosed area such as your tanks and the wild. Besides from that there are alot more shrimp. Even if most of the baby shrimp gets eaten in the wild, there would still be enough for the population to survive. Theres a natural balance. The same ...

The best way of removing unwanted snails from you tank would be fetching them out manually or just feeding less.

I dont trust ghost shrimp with cherries because I heard stories that they will snatch and eat dwarf shrimp. Then again there are different kinds of ghosts, which type are you refering ...

Wow a 300 gallon pool. What are you planning to keep in there?

I really dont have room for more tanks so I ended up converting my African cichlid tanks into planted shrimp tanks. My electric bills been going through the roof with some many wires around especially for lighting and high output ...

Nice to hear that

How are your C. patzcuarensis doing Eric? I've had mines for about 1-2 months now and just today I saw a male on top of a female fornicating. He was on top of her for a good 15-20 minutes since I noticed them. I'll try to post some pictures as soon as I figure it out.

It was a beautiful shrimp

Goodluck with the others

There are alot of potential shrimpmates for your cherries such as amanos and shrimp from the Caridina species such as bee, bumblebees and tigers (bamboos if you have a larger tank).

However with only a 6 gallons at your disposal, your 10 cherries should turn into 50 very soon if you care for them ...

Okay bubba,

Adding quotations around some garbage you made up and slapping my name on then making it seem like I said it...real mature and innovative
