The only tank mate I would put in with them is a snail or another kind of shrimp that it will not breed with. They will probably like any plants that you like and shrimp always like moss.

They are both rcs because amanos don't reproduce in fresh water.

I am not sure but I think I will jump on the RCS bandwagon.

Turn off the heater and wait several hours and check the temperature. If it is still to hot, turn off the lights and recheck in a few hours.

water lettuce, water sprite, frog bite, red root floaters, hornwort

They all look healthy to me. It could be maturity or maybe they are getting ready to spawn or maybe sex related.

Baby bristlenose are just too cute! It sounds like you might have a mixture of babies from more than one spawn. They are quite prolific once they start spawning. They will also eat sweet potato and flake food. Just be sure you do frequent water changes if you are feeding them heavily. Good...

Cherry shrimp would not last very long at all in your tank. Frozen brine shrimp are one of the most popular foods that hobbyist feed their fish, fish love them. Cherry shrimp are not that much bigger than brine shrimp and will be eaten by just about any fish that can fit them in their mouth...

You really don't need to move the females out of the fry tank. You need to have floating plants for the babies to hide in. Hornwort works well. If you can't find real plants then get the plastic kind and let them float at the top of the tank. They may eat a few but more than enough to...

Mystery snails are a type of apple snail. I would keep checking the one that isn't moving to make sure it isn't dead, if it stays closed when you pick it up then it is alive, if it falls open and stinks so bad you want to vomit then it is dead. You need to feed your mystery snails, some people...

If you don't trust their advice but like their fish selection then do your own homework before you purchase anything from them.

I have been feeding bloodworms to my fish for years without any problems.

If you test with ghost shrimp, make sure they are really ghost shrimp. In my neck of the woods feeder ghost shrimp are frequently very young prawn, they look almost identical. The prawn grow large rapidly and eat everyone else in the tank. I hear this story all the time on my local fish...

I would keep the betta in a bowl until I could get something bigger for him. Bettas are graceful slow moving fish with long fins usually. Their long fins are often picked on by fast moving fish that think the bettas long fins look like a good meal or fish who are territorial and aggressive. If...

If it were me I would forget the gbr and add some freshwater shrimp. Shrimp add very little bioload to your tank and make interesting additions to planted tanks. Nerite snails can also be attractive additions to a planted tank and they eat algae.

How many fish you can keep in your tank has to do with many factors. What kind of filtration you have, how much you feed and what kind of fish you have. I overstock my tanks but I also do a 50% water change once a week and more often on some tanks.

It depends on the fish. Bettas do great in discus tanks. Crown tail bettas do not do well with guppies. Their long fins look too much like food.

I think it would be cycled if all you are adding that is new is the water. Enjoy your new tank!

Bristlenose are not difficult to breed. You need a good male that is a good breeder and dad, once they get started they are very productive. You do need a lot of caves, they breed well in the ceramic breeding logs that have a small opening and a closed end. I keep my young bristlenose in my...

My crystal reds are more prolific than my cherrys. Shrimp add very little bioload to your tank so I don't know that you would need another tank. Just give some away to other hobbyist. I don't keep any fish with my shrimp but I don't want to lose any. If you are worried about having too many...

No problems with baby snails and your fish.

I keep bristlenose plecos in my discus grow out tanks, both discus and bristlenose grow very well together, I feed a lot of beefheat mixture to my growing discus and the bristlenose clean up what the discus don't eat. Assasin snails also do well in these tanks because they also like the...

These prawns should be kept in a species only tank. They will eat everything that is in the tank with them, they have voracious appetites because they grow so quickly and so big.

There is a member of my local forum the dfw fishbox that raises crs, cherry shrimp, green shrimp. blue pearl shrimp, black crystal red shrimp and blue tiger shrimp. He is in the DFW area. His name is Jax and can be contacted through the dfw fishbox forum.

allaboutfish - You can find discus at reasonable prices if you know someone who breeds them and if you are willing to grow them out yourself. We have been very fortunate to have several local serious discus breeders to join our local fish forum (DFW Fishbox) in the last year or so, making it...
