You find the weirdest things when performing a cavity search. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

That's good. I just hope for your sake that your remaining three don't breed! Hopefully one day youe be able to try rcs again. I just love mine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

You don't have to be exact on water temp, just get close. I just guess by how it feels on my hand in tank compared to what i'm adding. I haven't killed anyone yet! Maybe you could get a small cheap tank for the shrimp. You don't have to tear down the tank, just take some of the tank water and...

The hard part on that is watching out for over feeding, so keep an eye on your levels. I don't like the idea of killing them either. If you can catch them, the pet store would probably take them back, maybe trade them for actual ghost shrimp. To catch them you may have to start removing anything...

:-( rip to one of my momma shrimp. One of my frogs got lucky and snagged her. Not enough to eat her, but pulled half of back legs off. She lost all her eggs and slowly died nestled in a moss tree. So sad. But its only second shrimp they have ever injured. They can't catch them. Sent from my...

Idk. I've never dealt with those, nor do I know anything about them. You'll have to ask around, maybe make a new forum topic asking. If they are that much of a problem and aren't against killing them, you could add copper to the water, as long as no other invertebrates are in there, like copper...

Oh! Well that explains your rcs problem! Ghosts are a little aggressive, but not like that! They will attack what they think is a dying cherry, or a dead one. If you plan on having cherries with the betta at any point, you'd be better off to have the cherries in the tank first for a little...

Idk. Check your water params. Also did you add anything that has copper in it? What's your temp? I almost killed some like that having them in a small tank temporarily and it was too cold. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Oh, I would recommend getting a marimo moss ball, or a few. They act like sponges collecting crap and shrimp will pick and feed on that. Just an idea. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Betta will chase the ghosts away. Idk what's going on with rcs. I had more problems with my ghosts dying than my rcs. When feeding scatter as much as possible so everyone gets a chance to a piece without competing for same pile. Its not your water parameters as your ghosts would be dying off as...

Ghost shrimp are extremely active cause they are pigs. I had some with my rcs without a problem. As your cherries get more comfortable in your tank, they'll become a little more active. However its the males that swim around alot. Females are more sedentary. I feed mine algae wafers once in a...

It all started with my son winning a gold fish at the fair. 3 tank upgrades later and i'm fully planted with adfs and rcs. Sadly the goldfish that started it all didn't stay with us long. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Adfs can be extremely active when in a tank where they feel no threats, i.e. anything bigger than them, and when in a group. I have 5 in my tank with just cherry shrimp. They are quite active and funny. They attempt to stalk the too fast shrimp. Its funny. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using...

Be careful with the frogbit. It can take over a tank and be extremely hard to get rid of. Idk anything about lettuce. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Anacharis can be planted or floating, same as sprite. Wisteria is another but its also a bit fragile. I had 7 frogs at the time with the wisteria and they destroyed it. Plants and active frogs take patience, lol. Newly planted get uprooted alot until roots take hold. If you want something that...

Bettas are another story. Can still become agressive and terrorize. I'd stick with adfs and rcs only. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have rcs and 5 adfs. The frogs can't catch the shrimp, not for lack of trying. However they've gotten lazy and don't even try anymore. Hell, my cherries swarm the food dish when I feed the frogs and the frogs don't even care. As you can see! As long as there's ample places for the cherries to...

When you decide to get plants again, I wouldn't recommend the hornwort. Your frogs were a big part of it losing needles and stuff. Its just too fragile for the clumsy oafs, lol. Go with something a bit sturdier. There are alot of low light plants you could try without buying new lighting. Try...

How did your hornwort stay together? My frogs just destroyed it when I had some. Honestly I think they like any plant they can hide in or hang on, especially if it helps them lazily chill near the surface. They really aren't plant picky. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice...

I don't have a good pic of mine from before, and atm it doesn't look as good cause I had to dramatically trim it back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I've looked up stuff there but not a member nor do I post. I'm not going to look that hard cause it would be something i'd have to order and not doing that for a while. They were nice, bit a bit fragile for my frogs! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Update: never figured out what they were and now they are all gone. I had to spot treat some wood above them for tiny spots of BBA using peroxide. Took care of any little tufts, but the downward flow of the peroxide also took out my tall lovelies. I'm saddened. I can't replace when I don't even...

My 29g ready for Christmas! I'm going to get a Santa ornament that Petsmart has. Its super cute, Santa with scuba gear. I upgraded from a 20g unplanted and its only been setup and planted for about 2 1/2 months so its got a bit to go to fill out. My frogs are happy and my rcs are breeding around...

Omg, lol, wow. I'm a newbie to a planted tank, only been running and growing for almost 3 months. I haven't had THAT many problems. I am developing bits of algae that i'm not sure what kinds and diatoms. I'm hoping my shrimp and new nerites will handle most of it. Hearing the stresses of algae...

If you haven't, try dwarf sag as a foreground. Mine is doing great, multiplying here and there. At first, yet another my frogs pulled loose constantly until it rooted, lol. All of mine, even what's in pieces is doing well except my mosses. I have java, flame, and a small piece of willow. None is...
