I was just wondering what types of veggies you feed your cherry shrimp and weather you boil it first or just put it in raw.

I moved the white clouds and within 24 hrs my shrimp were out and active again. Plus I got home from work yesterday to shrimpletts! Thank you all for your help

I know they can eat the babies. I've been thinking of moving them anyway. On another note, my beautiful green algae mat has been infested with long brown algae. Any ideas on how to control it? I want the algae cover for the shrimp but not this kind...

I saw 3 of the shrimp this afternoon, including the one that was saddled. She's now carrying a ton of eggs! No sign of the other Momma but she's been carrying her eggs for a few weeks now so maybe I'll see babies soon. I've had lots of fish but this is my first shrimp tank

Cool deal. I've never seen them bother the shrimp but that doesn't mean they don't

Ok. I'll keep that on mind. Maybe move the white clouds to my 20

Just the white clouds. They are too little to eat the shrimp and generally have been leaving them alone. Still haven't seen a single shrimp all day today. Haven't found any dead ones either...

I have a relatively new, about two months, cherry shrimp tank. It's a 5.5 with a half dozen cherry shrimp and 5 white clouds. There is a good algae mat on the back and sides and the water temp is a consistent 74-76 f. As of two days ago I had 1 shrimp carrying eggs and another saddled and the...

Cool. I just looked up the diy co2 and it seems really easy so im leaning that way. One more question, would you go with the corallife 50/50 or 6500k CFL?

If I look into it and decide I want a DIY C02 would a 15 or 20 watt 6500K CFL work?

I really like the dwarf babytears but Idk what lighting I should use. I was thinking a 10 watt coral life 50/50 or a 10 or 15 watt CFL. Or should I go with 20 watt?

My flame dwarf gourami

Thank you! Its my first fully planted tank and it took a few transformations to get it how it looks today. It was definitely worth the work, I love this tank and learned a lot from it

Here is my 29g planted community

I have a cycled 5.5 I've been using as a grow out for assassin snails and I decided I want to turn it into a planted betta tank but I haven't had anything smaller than a 20 since I was a little kid. I was thinking of using Eco complete capped with sand as my substrate and the hood is a screw-in...

Thanks for the advice. I've definitely narrowed my options, now to the planted tank forum to work out the specifics of the lighting and ideas on good plants for a tank of this size.

Thanks rivercats! Now about the lighting...

Will any organic potting soil work or is there something specific I should look for?

What kind of soil should I use?

Oh well I've been wanting a new betta anyway. Anybody have any suggestions about lighting or substrate?

So i have a 5.5 that is cutrrently being used a s a growout for assasin snails but thay are a good size and will be going to the pet store for credit soon (50 cents a peice doesnt seem like much but when you have 20+ it ads up). That leaves me with a cycled 5.5 gal with nothing but a hood...

Welcome! Its nice to see that you are planning ahead, any ideas for your tank?

I know right. I want another one but I think im going to build a 5.5g for the next one. Just a planted home for him and maybe some shrimp
