    Shrimp molts

    That sounds like a very good diet for the shrimp. I use Ultra Fresh amongst my other foods for fish and my orange Neos like to eat the leftovers from my Guppy fry as well. I'd try the getting the new water gradually changed over to your tap water with the lower numbers. And stop with the...

    Shrimp molts

    You may not need as much, or any Aqueon additive for the water/ shrimp. Are you feeding food formulated for shrimp? That would be helpful for their nutrition, generally a shrimp food will contain necessary ingredients for health and molting. The Aqueon Essentials may be adding too much...

    Shrimp molts

    Did you get a chance to test the tap water you use for the tank? Did you add tap water to fill for evaporation? That matters as it compounds the mineral content in the water, especially over time. Most ideally with your 55G, it would be best to select fish which need the type of water you...

    Shrimp molts

    How often or how are you using the Aqueon Shrimp Essentials? Try testing your tap water if that's what you are using for your tank. Are you using RO or distilled water if you add water due to evaporation? Using tap water just adds additional mineral content to the water. Also molting...

    Hello Everyone - CO2 or Excel?

    Welcome. I am a low-tech keeper, but read up on the ins and outs of CO2, we have a couple good foundation articles here. Dwarf hair grass doesn't really need either and I have had beautiful areas of it in tanks over the years. And cO2 is a little expensive. But just consider getting a dual...

    Little Back Story on Az Fish Rescue Pendley's Plentiful Pets

    Sounds like a great story! It looks like you have quite a number of aquarium clubs in your area. I didn't see an official Aquarium Society. But I am sure you can find good homes. The Colorado Aquarium Society rescues lots of fish and help make sure they get to good fish loving homes, which...

    What kind of fish are you?

    This is a funny and tough question. I would think different days, different fish. I may often feel like a shrimp, constantly working in my existence, not unhappy, always busy. Feel like staying on the couch, maybe a Jellyfish. I think I need to be a Pencilfish. Just able to chill, sit...

    Can fish medications cause shrimp to go sterile?

    Additionally, it does often take a while for the new tank to form biofilm, and tiny things for them to feast on during the days of constant picking at surfaces for foods. It's often that it takes months for those to develop and breeding to start. And if the Neocaridina red cherry shrimp were...

    I only have my filter on for 30mins a day 😅 i have some questions about air pumps

    Aiken provides sound advice. An additional way to get what you need would be to scour free postings where people need to get rid of tanks and stuff, because their kids don't care about the fish anymore or, their fish died and they gave up, or moving, etc. Another way is when people post for...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    There were a LOT of fish, but of course with 3 tanks a 10G a 30G and a 55G with metal stand. All the fish were in good condition. It looked like there had been a Glo fish tank in the 30G (large amounts of Glo rocks with black gravel). There were a nice, matured group of Tiger Barbs yellow...

    New Betta

    Welcome. Soil tanks can be a struggle. Many people love them. Hello to Pearl. I used to have a Pearl. Very sassy and friendly but bossed the tank. Those fish knew to make way for the boss. White pearl body with red fins.

    Gourami & Guppy Acting Weird—Help!

    What is your ammonia reading? Nitrite and Nitrate? Test, write down numbers. Doing a water change is usually a good idea even if you think the numbers are in the safe zone and you have an ill fish. Do a water change 25-30% then test again. If any numbers are near the high range or the...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Got a message for a "rescue" of 3 tanks of fish from a home where someone/ roomie never came back to get their 3 aquariums of fish for 3 months and they need someone else to move in that room. I guess the fish aren't paying their rent. So will be taking a look in the morning and, grabbing...
