My local one seem quite nice. I've got to know them well over the last few months. I got the tetras from a shop I hadn't been too before. Not be going back.

Will do. Ill just ask the shop owner what to do. Thanks :-)

I'm gutted. I've had the tank for about a year now and no problems at all. Never mind, I'll not go to that silly shop again. Thanks for the advice. Off to get some marine salt now. Fingers crossed!

Yeah got the air stone on fill and got the filter blowing near the surface. Is just raising the temperature going to be enough?

Hi I've just noticed that some on my black neon tetra's have got itch. I bought them from a lfs last weekend. I've got shrimps in the tank so I am restricted in the medication I can use. Is there any natural treatments you can recommend. I've already started to raise the water temperatures...

Another pic

My red cherry shrimp looks like its in the process of turning black? Is this normal? Any ideas?

I think I'll just stick to whatever colour they have in the shop lol. Really fancy red cherry shrimp. Will do a good water change once a month. Do you like keeping shrimp?

How often will I need to do pwc? I change 10-20% weekly on my big tank. Is a shrimp tank the same or more often? I literally have no idea what kind of shrimp lol. What do you recommend?

Hi all I'm in the middle of setting up a shrimp tank for the first time. Could anyone give me some feedback on my initial set up? Is there anything else I need? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Thank you for the great advice Ian. I've never heard if they type of food before. Sounds good tho!

Yeah was thinking about red cherry shrimp? Do you think they would be ok in a small tank with fry?

Hi ya. Can anyone tell me what kind of cleaning fish are suitable for a fry tank. By this I mean fish that will clean up any left over food and sieve through my sand substrate to prevent toxic build up, but won't eat my fry. The tank is only small at 30 litres. Thank you

Never tried the bottle! Good idea. Was just using a plain old bucket lol

Yeah I'm planning on keeping them in the fry tank for a good few months. This is my first batch of babies so I'm hoping it all goes well. My friends have claimed them already lol
