Hmm, I read some reviews on the XP3, apparently it has a leak issue. Anyone with this experience.

Hey guys, i'm moving to college soon, going to bring my tank with me(10G) to breed some shrimp. Anyways, I need to get a new filter because I am planning to do CRS. I've been looking at these three filters. Penn Plax Cascade 1200 API Filstar XP3 Eheim 2215 I really don't know what to get, they...

From my experience, I fed these shrimp pellets that contains copper sulfate to some ghost shrimp and well they died. However, after I received my cherry shrimp I decided to buy food specifically designed for shrimp(Fluval Shrimp Granules: you can get this on amazon). This product contains copper...

Hmm, I don't think it's sand because when I set it up (yesterday) it wasn't as cloudy. I actually really think it's just bacteria since the last thing I did before I noticed it get pretty darn cloudy was add some tetra safestart(two cap fulls). Let me hear your opinion guys.

I have some cloudy water in my tank, set it up yesterday with some Marineland Bacteria. Just wondering if the cloudiness is bacteria or is it something else?

Hi guys, I am new to this hobby. So far I've purchased a 37g tank a 40g filter and a 200w heater. I've read online that it is necessary to cycle the tank to ensure a stable water chemistry. I've read that it can take weeks to cycle an aquarium, I don't want to wait that long. I found that you...

Yup, I actually ordered 3 pieces of cholla wood, planning to throw them in there for the shrimp!

ohh, thank you guys! I actually ended up bringing a sample of my water to petsmart to have it tested(I already ordered an API freshwater kit and I do not want to spend more money!) I actually just checked them out right now and they seem to be doing fine now. However, the one with the eggs is...

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum(and caring for shrimp). I went to petsmart today and bought 5 ghost shrimps to add to my new tank. However they are swimming around like crazy. Sometimes I see them grazing around the sand, but later I find them swimming up and down the glass. There is also...
