Amano shrimp wouldn't eat/harm mini pellia would they? I know mini pellia is ideal for dwarf shrimp, but an amano is so much bigger, I was just wondering. Thanks!

Hey, so I've got a few tanks, most of them are for shrimp, or new tanks that are still in the cycling process, and all of them are planted. I just ordered some MTS's to add to the tanks. At first I was worried that they might compete with my shrimp for food, but I was told they would go well...

Anybody know of a good test kits for copper? I've heard the API test kits are extremely unreliable. Thanks!

Could somebody recommend me a good light for a 10g tank? It doesn't have to be the best, but I want one strong enough that I can grow mosses and such as I am making this a shrimp tank. I was thinking LED, but I'm open to other suggestions as I don't want to spend too much money. Thanks!

Hello, if anybody has a decent amount of subwassertang that they're willing to get rid of at a reasonable price, I'd really like to get some. Please pm me, thanks!

Would rcs and mts's compete for food? Is it a bad idea to put them in the same tank?

Hey, I was wondering if a 10g planted tank would be enough to successfully breed OEBTs. I heard CRS breed best in 20g tanks, but I have also heard of people breeding them in 5g tanks. What is an ideal or minimum size to breed these shrimp?

Hey, I'm starting a 20g long planted tank to breed some crystal red shrimp. I was wondering what the best type of filter for this set-up would be. I know if I use an HOB or something I'd have to place some sort of net like a nylon stocking over the intake so the baby shrimp don't get sucked...

Hey, has anyone used this material in their aquariums as places for shrimp and small fish to swim through? Do you have to do anything to it before putting it into water? Thanks!

What's the appeal of these? I know, different strokes for different folks. But I seriously don't get the appeal of them and don't think they look that good. Any thoughts?

So I stupidly bought a bunch of star moss online, then read that it wasn't a "true aquatic" species, meaning within a few months of being submerged it dies. Would this work as a floating plant or something? Anyone know?

I've got a 10g tank and was wondering how many CPOs I could keep in there. Do they live well together or do they eat each other?

I've heard that your tank will cycle faster if you leave the lights off because the BB grow better in the dark. Can you just completely leave your light off while cycling or do you need some light?

My ammonia's through the charts right now cause I put a ton of decaying plant matter in there. Should I take some of it out?

Can you house these crayfish with dwarf shrimp such as OEBTs, Yellow Shrimps, Sakura shrimps etc.?

Do CPOs eat their babies like many other crayfish species?

What is the best moss for a moss wall? I wanted to use star moss, but read that it's not really an aquatic moss and will die after awhile, and I'm not really that into the look of java moss personally... regardless, any advice is much appreciated!

Is it okay to keep both these shrimp species in the same tank? I don't want them to interbreed.

So over the weekend, the outdoor temperatures rose to the 90's, and I keep my windows open in my apartment since I currently don't have AC. The temperature flux caused my fish tank water to get too hot and all my dwarf shrimp died. It never occurred to me that the water might get too hot...

The guy at my LFS says if I want to have a planted tank I have to get a canister filter, but I've never heard this before, is it true? He also said I should take out my activated carbon for some reason, is this true as well?

Hi, I just ordered a bunch of plants a few days ago and want to switch my substrate to eco-complex planted aquarium substrate. Will completely changing my substrate mess up my levels of beneficial bacteria and will I have to start a new cycle? Thanks!

Is it possible for a tank to recycle? Somehow I think my beneficial bacteria died, since all my water readings are back to high ammonia, and 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate. This happened in two of my tanks, what could be the cause??

I know bamboo are filter feeders and amano shrimp aren't, but my question is do they help remove ammonia from the water?

I'm trying to cycle my 10g aquarium, and the ammonia readings are high, while my nitrites and nitrates are at 0. I have squeezed my other tank's filters into the tank. I have moved old plants over to the new tank. I even used some of the same substrate. I put some of it in the filter too. I...

So I'm setting up a 20g long heavily planted shrimp tank, and I was wondering what type of substrate(s) I should use. Thanks!
