That would be a good idea but all my plants except for the aponogeton have died too. I had no luck with live plants. I plan on going with a 10 gallon with black gravel and fake plants. Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have had bad luck with live plants and would like to know if I could use all fake plants for my new 10 gallon RCS tank. Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I woke up this morning to most of my RCS dead on the substrate. I don't know what happened. If the ones I have left don't survive, I'm gonna clean this 5 gallon tank and put it away. I will be getting a 10 gallon to try again with all fake plants and black sand for the next try at getting a good...

My shrimp are getting their color back! I snapped a couple pics of females I spotted today that are carrying eggs. I counted about 6 or 7 pregnant shrimp. About the cloudiness of the water..... I changed filters and my wife threw out the old media before I could stop her so my tank is going...

I just bought a piece of cuddle bone for my shrimp and was thinking of attaching it to the side of the tank. I have a suction cup and need to know what kind of wire I could use to attach the cuddle bone to the suction cup that won't harm the shrimp. Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice...

Will these be good for my shrimp? Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I'm just feeding them a mixture of color enhancing flake and and sinking pellet fish food. I was looking into trying blanched zucchini and algae wafers. If I do the zucchini how big a piece do I use for 20 shrimp and how long do I boil it for? Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

"Flower" from one of my Aponogeton plants. I grew these plants from bulbs I bought at the pet store. I think they are doing very well.

Since I been reading about the substrate being the culprit, (did some deep searching) can I get some black sand to sprinkle on top of the regular sand? The bulbs I planted have extensive root systems and I don't want to go through the problems of disturbing them, plus I have my tank set up just...

Any takers? The first pic is one that's still red, the second pic is what appears to be a female that lost color, the third pic is what the majority of them look like now. They have been swimming around frantically now since this morning and I was lucky enough to get one to stop long enough to...

It appears that I may have a problem. All of my shrimp have lost their color. I have had them for a little more than a week and everything looks good in the tank. When I tested the water it was fine. I noticed the change this morning when I was looking in the aquarium. What would cause this? Is...

Thank you

I got it on ebay. It is a sponge from a bio sponge filter powered by an air pump. I paid just over 4 dollars for the filter. Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
