I want to grow Monte Carlo, dhg, and s repens in my fluval flex. The stock light isn’t enough from my knowledge. I’m considering these lights: Hygger Full Spectrum Aquarium Light with Aluminum Alloy Shell Extendable Brackets, White Blue Red LEDs, External Controller, for Freshwater Fish Tank...

Ok. I don’t want to argue. Everything I’ve read says they are fine with dwarf cichlids, electric blue acara, and rainbows. The electric blue Jack Dempsey is very tiny and not aggressive in the slightest. I understand the ebjd isn’t a good idea in the long term but they have been fine for so...

Ok. I have an angel with fully grow eba and it’s fine. The ebjd has been bred so much that it is not nearly as aggressive as a regular one. The rainbows are fine with the angel. Never had an issue and seen many people have rainbows with angels. I’m more worried about him not eating.

Ok. I’m not using salt. I’ve seen way to much stuff about how it’s bad for plants

He has been in this tank since March…and the ebjd has been in the tank with him for 3 months

I thought 40 ppm is fine. And I can’t do salt bc it’s a very heavily planted high tech tank. Thanks

29 gallon. He is a juvenile and I plan to move him to a 75/125 with other angels when he gets full size. He is with another angel who is very tiny and half the size of him, dwarf neon rainbows, rummy nose, a 1.5 inch ebjd, eba growing out, Kribensis. Last time I checked my water was 0 ammonia, 0...

His fins looked like this today. He didn’t eat when I fed the tank just now. Anything I can do? He is my favorite fish so I will do anything to save him if anything is wrong.

You should definitely give him a shot if you want some plants. Prices are VERY low

It should have been 2 day shipping but it took an extra 2 days. Shipping was $9 flat no matter how much you get

This was very cheap. It was only $50. I’m getting 26 portions meaning 3-4 stems of each for $90. Anubias and java fern are always expensive but his are the cheapest. The most expensive thing I got was $5.99 for one rhizome which is amazing for the plant I got which is anubias coffeefolia

Good! His prices are very low. You should check him out.

I think his plants are great! There was an issue with shipping and it got here today instead of Friday but they are all amazing. The trident java fern is way bigger than what I thought it was and the anubias coffeefolia is smaller than I thought but other than that they are all in great shape...

I switched to pressurized

He also has a website and it has 68 5 star reviews for the painted fire reds.

He has 100% positive feedback and over 500 reviews. I’m trying to buy some painted fire red shrimp from him so I don’t want to get screwed.

My ph is 7.8. Do I need to drip acclimate? Are they very sensitive?

This would just be at the start to kick start the colony. I won’t do it and I’ll keep the tank at 74 bc I’m not breeding for profit but I just thought it was something that could work since they grow faster in higher temps

I’m starting my first shrimp tank in a few weeks and I don’t know which to choose from. The fire reds are $33 for 12 and the painted fire reds are 11 for $50. Is the price worth it? Are the painted fire and regular fire red that much different?

I know. My eba and polar convicts breed in the same tank and it’s a you know what show

Ok. So it will work and not hurt the shrimp?

Ok so should I use this method?

Ok but do you think it is a smart tactic?

Is this a method that people use? My theory is if I start my shrimp at 78 they will grow and have babies faster. The babies will also grow faster and be able to breed faster themselves. Then after like 2-4 months I put the temp at 74-75 to slow down their metabolism. Do people use this method...

Ok good. I can always go and get one or 2 shrimp from my lfs if I don’t have a male/female. But as you said the odds are very low.

Ok but 10 is enough if I’m going to be ordering them?

Ok so as long as I have a male and female I will have babies?

Ok nice. How long did it take them to breed? And should I expect some to die? And are the ones imported from Thailand bad?

I’m starting my first shrimp tank in a few weeks and I don’t know how many I should start with. Should I start with 15-20 shrimp that are a lower grade or 10+1 fire red shrimp that are a higher grade? Also, they are imported from Thailand. Is that any different than home bred?

Ok. I heard shrimp like it colder? Is 75 ok for the fish?

I’m setting up a 15 gallon fluval flex in a few weeks and it’s gonna be a shrimp tank. I will add seeded media and mystery snails to build waste to build up the beneficial bacteria. I will then get shrimp after a few weeks. After a month or 2 I would like to add some Pygmy cories. After that I...

Ok. I don’t think it’s a male. Looks exactly as the google pics for a female and it’s as big as my other male which has the big flowy fins

Ok. And yep. The first female is the size of the new male. Her mouth is smaller and her fins are not big.

Ok thanks. So a 20 y’all can work for 2 pairs technically?
