I have one of the moss ball/ algae ball from petshrimp. Can I cut it in half? It has gotten bigger.

Thank you. I will try looking for a large cork or plastic plant saucer.

Your shrimps and snails have arrived. They are happily swimming in their new home. I fed them a tiny amount of fish flake food and now the water is a bit cloudy. Should I change the water?
