You find the weirdest things when performing a cavity search. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

That's good. I just hope for your sake that your remaining three don't breed! Hopefully one day youe be able to try rcs again. I just love mine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

You don't have to be exact on water temp, just get close. I just guess by how it feels on my hand in tank compared to what i'm adding. I haven't killed anyone yet! Maybe you could get a small cheap tank for the shrimp. You don't have to tear down the tank, just take some of the tank water and...

The hard part on that is watching out for over feeding, so keep an eye on your levels. I don't like the idea of killing them either. If you can catch them, the pet store would probably take them back, maybe trade them for actual ghost shrimp. To catch them you may have to start removing anything...

:-( rip to one of my momma shrimp. One of my frogs got lucky and snagged her. Not enough to eat her, but pulled half of back legs off. She lost all her eggs and slowly died nestled in a moss tree. So sad. But its only second shrimp they have ever injured. They can't catch them. Sent from my...

Idk. I've never dealt with those, nor do I know anything about them. You'll have to ask around, maybe make a new forum topic asking. If they are that much of a problem and aren't against killing them, you could add copper to the water, as long as no other invertebrates are in there, like copper...

Oh! Well that explains your rcs problem! Ghosts are a little aggressive, but not like that! They will attack what they think is a dying cherry, or a dead one. If you plan on having cherries with the betta at any point, you'd be better off to have the cherries in the tank first for a little...

Idk. Check your water params. Also did you add anything that has copper in it? What's your temp? I almost killed some like that having them in a small tank temporarily and it was too cold. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Oh, I would recommend getting a marimo moss ball, or a few. They act like sponges collecting crap and shrimp will pick and feed on that. Just an idea. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Betta will chase the ghosts away. Idk what's going on with rcs. I had more problems with my ghosts dying than my rcs. When feeding scatter as much as possible so everyone gets a chance to a piece without competing for same pile. Its not your water parameters as your ghosts would be dying off as...

Ghost shrimp are extremely active cause they are pigs. I had some with my rcs without a problem. As your cherries get more comfortable in your tank, they'll become a little more active. However its the males that swim around alot. Females are more sedentary. I feed mine algae wafers once in a...

It all started with my son winning a gold fish at the fair. 3 tank upgrades later and i'm fully planted with adfs and rcs. Sadly the goldfish that started it all didn't stay with us long. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Adfs can be extremely active when in a tank where they feel no threats, i.e. anything bigger than them, and when in a group. I have 5 in my tank with just cherry shrimp. They are quite active and funny. They attempt to stalk the too fast shrimp. Its funny. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using...

Be careful with the frogbit. It can take over a tank and be extremely hard to get rid of. Idk anything about lettuce. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Anacharis can be planted or floating, same as sprite. Wisteria is another but its also a bit fragile. I had 7 frogs at the time with the wisteria and they destroyed it. Plants and active frogs take patience, lol. Newly planted get uprooted alot until roots take hold. If you want something that...
