You have also O2 and N2 production in porous rock (denitrification)

Sometimes I have the same in freshwater... Still dont know what is it but probably bacteria since I cant see any structure on microscope.

Next monday... Supershrimps!

Lava contain metals in the form of chemically inert silicates. Pyrite is a sulphid, not soluble in water, but absolutly not chemically inert. It is also rich in stain, arsenic, nickel and other metals who will slowly reacti with water, enough to kill invertebrates.

What king of ghost shrimp is it?

It looks like a wild form of Neocaridina.

You's dont seems to do well in fresh water too...

Nope

I saw them under the ice. Sadly the aquarist who brood them outside stopped the hobby. But i had absolutly no problems keeping them at home in winter, in my cold bedroom (I sleep with open windows even if it freeze outside) without heater. My water was sometimes at 12°C and I had berries year round....

Marimo ball DO survive in brackish condition and even grow faster than in freshwater. They just need to be slowly acclimated. I still think Mustafa's moss balls are regular marimo balls wish talli or spores somehow ended in his tank.

Sadly i dont have a lot of good photos. In this one you can see the distinctive black marking on pleopodes. I identified them by the rostrum. http://www.aquachange.fr/Librairie/Images/bacs/1/0/5/4/vignette_2076.jpg And this is her "ancestors", my ancient breeder bought them from this perso...

I will ask if i can show you his photos. BTW temperature shouldnt be the problem, il France we breed malawa outside and they are still active when the surface freeze.

Muhahahaha a french aquarist have some red too

At the beginning I introduced some sediments from my sea monkey's tank. Now I see 2 or 3 nauplii swiming.

A photo of the breeding. Sadly I cant contact him, he is a student an he is probably working for exams.
