Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Today I bought 20 lbs of rubble....i picked out all the rocks that had tons of life on them....very small pieces got a bunch of mushrooms....different things i am not familiar with.
and what appears to be about 20 baby baby feather dusters...{not astapias i hope?, doesnt look like astapias i have seen online but i am very new.}
Anyways i set the rock all in a 10 gallon tank with a filter and a fluorex light, I was admiring all the life when i saw a mantis shrimp running along the galss.
I remembered reading that if u dunk the rock in freshwater they will run out real quick....
Well I cheated and added Ice to the water {hope i dont kill the rock?} I dunked the piece of rock the shrimp was in for 5 seconds......then removed the rock....
I saw the shrimp running in circles like he was injured in the plastic container I dnked a few more rocks...maybe 33% of the rock I bought and got 3 mantis shrimps total. the larger one i quickly added to warm water to let him recover. I am not sure what to do with him.
Anyways. I am very new to this hobby but I can attest that ice cold water dip for a few seconds works very well.
