I'm feeding zucchini for the first time. It's a 1 inch piece. How long do you leave your veggies in the tank for? I have a 5 gallon RCS tank with about 20 shrimps. Other veggies and times are welcome to be posted here as well since I'd like to feed them a variety. Sent from my iPhone using...

Just an fyi I have Pygmy catfish with platies in a 10 and they live happily together. The only time there are issues is during feeding since the platies are piggies and eat so fast that food may be hard to find. But they do find food or else they'd be goners by now. Had the for over a year...

Is that Otto pregnant or well fed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I noticed a molted skeleton with eggs in it. Will these hatch or are they as good as gone? Why did this happen and is it common? You can see yellow eggs in the molted skeleton in the middle of this photo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not necessarily. I have cories with a hard gravel substrate and their barbels are fine. Probably better to have sand but its not a must. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I've also heard that pygmy cories would be safe with shrimp, but....I'm not sure if they'd eat the baby shrimplets if your shrimp breed. Can anyone verify???

Seriously? I put a couple in and they were eaten by my platies. Assassins eat these? Are my shrimp safe with assassins? Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

True, things can go sour fast in a smalker tank, but if I can't put the fish with the shrimp in the shrimp tank I've decided to put the worms into my fish tank. I've decided I'll use these as live food. I'll net them out with my shrimp net and set them free into my platy tank! Sent from my...

Dirty? I do a water change every 2 weeks. And usually about 50% since its only 4 gallons. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I put a platy fry into the tank and let him dine on the worms for a bit until I saw him eat a baby shrimp. Surprised he could eat them. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I just noticed I have Worms in my shrimp tank. They are free swimming bugger's about 1 cm long white in color. How can I get rid of them? Id take a pic if I could get a good pic. I have a 4 gallon tank with cherry shrimp. Thanks Sent from my Nexus 5 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I've had my reef setup and running for 2 months and I'm doing a 10-12 gallon WC each month. That'd be approximately 20-25% in my 65gallon since the live rock/sand take up volume in my tank. I have a Deltec MEC500 skimmer and I don't get too much skimmate in my cup....I clean it 2 times a week...

wow....I wonder if I'm overfeeding!

I'm curious how many times a day do you feed your fish and corals? I have a 65 gallon RSM250 with 7 fish (clowns, cardinals, yellow wrasses), 5 shrimp (2 peps, 2 cleaners, 1 fire) and a bunch of zoas, lps (hammers, frogspawn) corals. I feed them pellets in the morning and frozen mysis in the...
