    My Nerite Snail Keeps Burrowing

    Thanks for the replies. Tank is 80L. Don't have a test kit unfortunately, temp is 25C as always. I did do a recent water change (nothing different from the usual). Added normal amount of dechlorinator. The shrimp behaviour is absolutely normal, feeding constantly, climbing around wood, etc.   I...

    My Nerite Snail Keeps Burrowing

    I've had 2 zebra nerite snails for about 4 months. I haven't changed anything much in my tank recently, but now one of them (Snail A) keeps going into the sand, literally forcing itself to burrow. The other one (Snail B) doesn't and keeps eating algae from the glass. And when this other one...

    Will An Internal Black Background Get Algae?

    I have a black pond liner cut to size to fit the inside of my tank's back wall, and I've used plasti-dipped magnets to hold it in place. But it's fast got covered in algae and it's very visible.   I think the pond liner material might be the cause as it's a rough material. I'm thinking of...

    What Spec Leds Do I Need?

    Thought so. Do you think this is any good for my tank? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Aquarium-Light-48-Hi-Lumen-Fish-tank-Single-Bright-120cm-/181033744996?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item2a2673ba64

    What Spec Leds Do I Need?

    I've just found Arcadia Eco which will fit my existing T8 fitting. The 42" one is equivalent to 38W. I believe I need 250W for my size tank. Is this true? Will I therefore need 6 of these LED tubes?!!

    What Spec Leds Do I Need?

    Thinking of getting LEDs. Tank is 48" x 24" x 30" 566 litres. Tropical with neon tetras. Some basic plants but might expand plants as experience grows. What sort of spec LEDs should I get in terms of watts and colour temperature?

    Loving My Fluval U4

    Here's a pic of my tank. I've highlighted the filter size and position. It's hard to see against the black background. I would never go back to an external now for this tank, this is a perfect filter. It also gives lots of air, although with the air it's a little loud so I reduced the air amount...

    Loving My Fluval U4

    Will Moss Received Like This Still Grow?

    If I use a single piece of white knitting craft mesh, and tie the moss around with cotton thread, should I put the moss against the glass or mesh against the glass? If moss against glass (sandwiched between glass and mesh), the holes in the mesh look small. Will it all grow through eventually?

    Will Moss Received Like This Still Grow?

    If I buy Taiwan moss online, and some of it that I get is only the tips (the bits looking like a fern), will these also grow? The Taiwan moss I have got mostly all looks like this: http://netdna.plantedtanks.net/wp-content/media/Taxiphyllum-alternans-Taiwan-Moss-close-up.jpg Just those end bits.

    Shrimp Eggs Came Out By Mistake

    The eggs that came off were the same colour. I only noticed the eggs under her belly today. They definitely weren't there yesterday. They were all yellow. When they got tangled in the moss they tore out from her, still yellow. Happened on the same day :( The clear sack that came off, there was...

    Shrimp Eggs Came Out By Mistake

    Thanks. Unfortunately her eggs all got caught up in the java moss, and she was literally pulling away trying to swim when they all broke off. I put too much moss in there :( Yeh I guess it's best to leave her next time. Will she naturally stick the eggs onto moss naturally so I can just take...

    Shrimp Eggs Came Out By Mistake

    My red cherry shrimp had eggs under her belly, and she was fanning them to keep them clean. So I decided to put her in a breeding net away from the fish. I put some java moss in the breeding net box. Unfortunately her eggs got caught on the java moss, and she pulled away from the moss, and all...
