That's a good price, especially for that many leaves!
Theresa what's wrong with your water? I keep and breed my shrimp in stupid hard water ph 8 no problems. LFS looks at me like I'm insane when I bring them in to trade and they test it.
Mine is 7.5 which is great for my Neos but I'm concerned about it for any Caridina shrimp.
Hello insomnia
Water source/quality (and price) had me concerned about caridinas so I went with neos two years ago. TM, we are not that far from each other as far as water sources go. I have not ruled out getting nicer quality RCS. I will see what the auction provides. If striped kuhlis appear at the auction I might become a paddle waving fool.
Never heard of pinto anubias. Quite a petite plant with unusual coloration. The white reminds me on some varieties of the houseplant pothos.
Might try the frozen BBS this weekend. Surely they will accept it. They are so-so with the FD BBS, however, they love the FD tubifex worms. When I drop in a chunk, it tumbles around at the HOB filter output and slowly spits out worms. It gets a chance to rehydrate a bit and is a worm dispenser. The staple is flakes.
My fish swim about the tank all of the time. Still getting used to it.
Well, I placed the frozen BBS in a small cup of water to let it melt and poured it into the tank. Did not realize how SMALL they were! I shut off the filter to allow it to float in the water. I think the CPDs liked it but the larger tetras were like "What, you serve me crumbs?".
I noticed very fine hair algae on the limno and nearby ludwidia. Result of cutting the macro ferts in half plus increased plant mass? Resumed normal dosing of macros.
Makes me wonder of the effect of increased plant mass over time on the fert levels when lighting, CO2, and ferts remain constant while using PPS-Pro???
Trying to hold off trimming for another 12 days. Here is progression from 8/31, 9/13, and 9/18:
