Hi all. Is it normal for shrimp to become rather energetic right after a water change? I have noticed that, after every water change, my...
So, 6 weeks in and things are looking very different thanks to the input from everybody who has commented on this thread. Everything looks a...
This looks brilliant! Can you tell me a little more about the lighting?
Thanks @Gamma , @TheGrissom and @HugBug ! I tried the quick blanche method and the shrimp seem a bit more interested but I suspect that the tank...
Thanks, @fux940510 and @L~C~G . I will give them a shot this weekend. I will have to go with @fux940510 's suggestion here as I have seen rocks...
Hi All Do any members here have experience with hardscape collected while generally out and about in nature? I know this is quote a vague...
Thanks, @A new day! Perhaps a little late for this round of feeding but I will definitely do that in future (assuming that nothing disastrous...
Perhaps I am overcomplicating things. I boiled it for about 10 minutes; it is a thick slice so maintains its structure just fine.
I hope it is okay to return to this same thread with another question. I have quite a few shrimp in my nano tank and have tried a few times to...
Thanks, @HugBug I was hoping that the Limnophila would be enough as the shrimp already hang out in it very often and the embers don't seem to...

Thanks, @Radesh! Midrand is perhaps a little beyond my current scope of travel but can I drop you a line if I come through that way? It is a very...
Thanks, @A new day. I managed to pick up some Christmas moss that has filled things out quite nicely - now just to wait for it to grow in a...
My LFS doesn't have any susswassertang but has a fair range of mosses. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the advice @Nirvashen and @A new day. Headed down to a small but really great LFS and managed to pick up some dwarf hair grass and...
Thank you both, @A new day and @Nirvashen I used mature tank water from an existing healthy one. The plants were also pinched from the same...
This is my first no-filter setup. It's a very tiny desktop tank with 5 ember tetras and 5 no-name shrimp (they hide quite a bit but frolic nicely...
Hi All I am newish to the aquarium hobby and have a 40l tank that needs some restocking (I've suffered a few casualties over the last year)....
Could somebody perhaps identify what is growing on (or going on with) the Amazon Sword? I'm not sure if it's algae of sorts or if the leaves are...
