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

I finished my RCS tank!!! I am very pleased with it. I finished it on June 5th with all the plants. I have 20 RCS, 1 Water Lily, 2 Water Onions, 4 Aponogeton (all grown from bulbs), 2 bunches of Cyperus Helferi, and 3 bunches of Telanthera Cardinalis (live plants). I already spotted 2 females...

I'm very OCD about things needing to be symmetrical. I will be painting the back of the tank black when I get paint. Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The tank is now done. I believe there is enough plants now. I have.... 20 RCS, 1 Water Lily, 2 Water Onions, 4 Aponogeton (all grown from bulbs), 2 bunches of Cyperus Helferi, and 3 bunches of tTelanthera Cardinalis (live plants). I have to wait for the bulbs to grow more an fill out the bare...

I went ahead and got a couple more plants today. I'm looking into getting a reddish foreground plant for the front corners of the tank. What do you think so far? Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

More plants are going in this weekend. I just wish my bulbs would have grown more before my shrimp came. Since my tank is too small for Corys, should I get a mystery snail or amano shrimp as tankmates? Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I did a little aquascaping by taking out the bulbs that didn't sprout and moving my water lily and water onion. I will be getting more plants on the weekend. Should I add a couple Otos or Corys? Sent from my LG-LG730 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I just got my shrimp today along with my sponge. I couldn't find the sponge locally but ebay came in handy. The sponge is working great amd it didn't restrict the flow of my power filter. Some of the bulbs are growing good while others are just sprouting. Here's a pic of my setup. I know it's...

I modified the intake tube on my power filter so it can have more flow with the sponge over it. I decided to do it this way so I cam put my power filter to good use and not have to buy a new filter and air pump. Has anyone else done this? I will be ordering 20 RCS tomorrow, and purchasing the...
