Ok, I was thinking babies may have been eaten but obviously not then. All cherries I have had breed like rabbits in all my tanks. One thing I would say is do water changes, not just top up evaporation, as you are only adding more minerals, not taking any away, which will push up the hardness...

Water changes will only change the parameters of the tank if the new water isn't matched to the tank water. Cherries are pretty bullet proof anyway. It's the more sensitive shrimp you have to be more carefull with. Is there any fish in with the shrimp?

Potentially palmata

How do they get colours from dull wild shrimp? Wouldn't mind trying it myself :-)

Have you tested your water? They will try and escape from poor water conditions

Thanks guys. I'm not sure on the ferts, it's a dennerle bottle of ferts and its all in german! It was recommended by a lfs which I have recently learned knows about as much on heavily planted tanks as me! (NOT MUCH). The bba was on some plants I got from a friend. It doesn't seem to be growing...

Yeah. 4 hours on, half hour off, 4 hours on, 15 and a half off. Someone told me a break in the lighting period disrupts the algae growth

Can anyone help me find out why I am getting bba? 80l tank Diy co2 55w plant light Sand & jbl something or other substrate Dosing dennerle nutrients daily 8 hours of light with a half hour break in between Many thanks :-)

If it is a bn what type would you say it is then?

I have kept L20 from young myself and they do not look like this

The spots aren't white, their dark brown. It was sold as an L20 which it quite clearly isn't

Still not sold

It's not like any bristlenose I've seen before. If it is then its a female but I'm not sold that its a bristlenose

Id if possible please

I'll do some experimenting. I'm in no rush to cycle it :-)
