Here is what the tank is looking like today. Sent from my LG-H901 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

It's a small frag rack that will stay. I know I'll be fragging down the road and have been left with no space for frags in the past so I made sure to give myself that space from day one. Sent from my LG-H901 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Ottos are about the only shrimplet friendly fish you can find. The shrimp will start to breed when they are feeling safe And secure. We had a 5.5 with some blues that didn't breed for months. At the time it was in a high traffic area. We moved it to the bedroom and after a month we found babies...

So this all started when Laeris made a trip about an hour or so North to pick up some tanks from Autumnsky. I figured we'd be putting one or more in storage until we had more room. Nope. I've been wanting to stand up a salt tank for a while and it just happened that it found a spot between the...

I've seen them flip over after an eating binge and have read that they can stay that way for days. Could be food coma. Sent from my LG-H901 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm sorry to hear this. With parameters like that and a snail towards the top I'd guess lack of oxygen. The airstone should help. I have almost 0 flow in my 5.5 shrimp tank and without the airstone I don't get enough oxygen exchange. Sent from my LG-H901 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
