Hey guys! After having much success with my 5g acrylic RCS tank, I decided I want another tank! Originally, I was going to purchase another 5g tank but made of glass. I have since then discovered that they're not that easy to come by. So!.. I decided to give making my own a shot! And since I'm...

So it's been 2 1/2 days since the move. I ended up splitting up the tank water between the tank and a bucket. So I ended up leaving the tank half full (just in case I missed some baby shrimps). There ended up being one in there so I have eight now. Really glad I left it half full. They're all...

I'm in the process of the move now. they seem to be doing ok. I kept as much of the water I could by splitting the 5gal into two containers. The shrimp seem to have lost their color but are still alive. They've been in there for about five hours already... I still have four more to go.. here's...

And thank you again so much for the help Kazin! That gave me a lot of good information that I didn't think of. :) Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Wow. That was a lot of shrimp. I didn't know you could keep so many in a five gallon. I definitely appreciate the information! I didn't even think about acclimating them to the new water. I was planning on emptying half of the water into a bucket, leaving the other half in the aquarium (I have...

I know. I had more in there but by the time I posted something I was down to three. So I guess they just came with Ick. I think for now, I'm just going to stick with a shrimp only tank until I get more experience. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I ended up introducing them after a full change of water and washing out the gravel. They seem to be doing ok. They were in a Tupperware container with some plants and one of the shrimp was berries. I didn't want to risk losing the eggs so I tried to get them into the new tank as quickly and...

Hm.. interesting. More research must be done! Along with availability of course lol. I still can't decide if I want weeping or java as the carpet or wall. Decisions decisions... Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Does subwassertang or pellia moss stay close to the ground? I like how they look and might consider them instead if they do.

That sounds really sad and kind of funny at the same time. I can't even imagine just getting the ashes of the plant I wanted in the mail instead. So sad. :( Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Cool. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks Nils. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hey guys, I just had a quick question about my shrimp tank. I'm moving in a couple of days and need to take my 5 gallon shrimp tank with me. What would be the best way to move them? I only have 3 RCS adults and 3 babies as far as I can tell. Should I put them in a Tupperware bowl? Or the bucket...

No problem. I like gaining useful information on mosses since I have a shrimp tank lol. I didn't know star moss wasn't aquatic... Maybe I could still make it work. Do you think making some driftwood stick out and putting it up there would be ok? I really liked the idea of star moss as a carpet...

I really wanted Christmas moss but couldn't get my hands on it. Do you think java will look nice? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I think Mattfinn figured it out for you lol. Thanks! I think I'll probably do the one sheet and just sew it on with fishing line. OK. So Java for the wall, and I was thinking Star moss for the carpet (unless anyone objects). I'll be gathering the materials soon and will keep y'all posted. :)

Hi guys, I want to build a moss wall (and eventually a carpet) for my tank. Which of these three mosses would work best for a wall and which of the remaining two work for a carpet? Java moss, star moss, and weeping moss. Thanks for all the help! :)

Would these work in conjunction with my 15w incandescent light? or should I just take the bulb out? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M9ICXTM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1GQWE5MHFKCFO I could eventually go for a hoodless tank as everything is removable, add a light and a...

A little plants is all I need since it would go far in a small tank like mine. 6500l CFL. Got it. Thanks so much Illusion.

After reading up on some moneywort, I decided to propagate them. They were dying and this is sort of an experiment. I'm gonna see if making them smaller is going to help. If not, it's ok. Like I said an experiment. Also, one of the shrimp molted. :3 that means he's happy right? Sent from my...

Oh and the substrate is Seachem Flourite if that's important too. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Sure thing. Everything just got moved around for the shrimp so it's still all meh. I just ordered some java moss and star moss since I knew those would be ok. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I was hoping to upgrade the light soon, but I'm not sure to what. I didn't want to make any purchases or definitive moves until I figured everything out.

Hi guys, After a series of unfortunate events, (losing all of my fish to ick), the three shrimp I owned were all that remained. We have decided to do a 5g red cherry shrimp tank that is cycled and ready for more. I have a couple of plants in there, nothing too special, some marimo balls, java...

Yeah that's what I read online. Should I just keep dosing medicine for like a couple more days after the spots are gone? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I wanted to try that with my ember tetras but one of the three shrimp was berried. I didn't know how the heat would affect them and i panicked I suppose since I had 4 fish die already. The Ick is almost gone though. Just one spec left. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app
