I have a banjo in with tetras, harlequins and madagascar rainbows and hes thriving. They like to keep hidden so i dont see him very often, he hides under my gravel and ornaments. Sand would be the better option im considering changing over to sand but yeh hes awesome no bother at all.

Yes i went back and complained and the best they could do was a £20 gift card even though i explained the shrimp i already had in there were worth £50+. They dont seem to really care about the welfare of shrimps to be honest. I havent dropped it though iv took this up with customer services.

I highly doubt it was the cory mine dont bother with anything including shrimp. My guess it just died or the betta attacked it. All fish hover around dead shrimps or fish for food n sometimes look the culprit when they arent! X

I bought new plants from pets at home and some shrimps. I put the plants straight in along with the shrimps. Unfortunately pets at home failed to mention they use pesticide on their plants and it completely wiped my whole shrimp tank out. I know it makes sense to wash them but iv never been told...

Not sure about the kribs but I have rummynoses and neons and harlequins living with 5 amanos and they are all thriving. My amanos did bully my cherrys though and amanos if hungry can eat cherrys whivh I think was happening in mine so I seperated them x

Hi guys, I started a shrimp tank about a month ago (cycled before I added shrimp). I think its around 15litres. I started with 20 cherrys 2 tigers 2 yellow. Everything was fine I was doing weekly water changes my berried cherry had babies etc, then gradually they started dying one by one. I...

Hi everyone, just to let you know i added the shrimp to the new tank and had no problems thus far. Had no deaths or nitrite or ammonia spikes either. Just a quick question, I have a bamboo shrimp in the other fish tank, however the new shrimp only tank has a faster heavier filter and i feel he...

Thanks for the advice, I kept 80% of the sponge in the old tank and put 20% of it in the new tank, baring in mind i also completely swapped the filters themselves round. (This is getting complicated) lol. Anyway ive left it all alone now because i didnt want to make it worse by constantly...

Hi, well i swapped filters completely as it was sucking my shrimp up and it is better suited to the new tank. What do you suggest i do? Put the filter sponges in their original places and just swap the filters?

Hi i actually swapped my filters completely round so my new tank has my old filter and my old tank has the new filter. Is this okay? I swapped bits of the sponge round also so both filters had bacteria on it. I tested the new tank and everything was 0 except for nitrate which was 40 i believe...

Can i use mature filter media from my current mature tank? If so how is best to do this? I have already added some decorations and 2 moss balls to the new tank.

Thanks for replies. How will I know when my tank is fully cycled?

Hi everyone,   I am wanting to set up a new tank purely for my shrimps. I set it up today and included water from my mature fish tank in and also added some safestart live bacteria into it. What I wanted to know is how long should I wait before adding my shrimp into the new tank? I have ordered...

Yes it looks just like that one! Are these rare or hard to look after? Never heard of them to be honest...

I already have 2 bee shrimp they are black n white stripey and dont look like this :\ iv also got amano, cherry,yellow,orange,green,rednose and glass breeds so im pretty sure its none of those. Pretty stumped to be honest!

My neons and rummy noses all get a swollen belly straight after feeding time but not to that extent. Has the swelling gone down yet? If so could you have possibly overfed them?   :)

I had a male betta when i first started out my tank. He hated absolutely everything except neons! I first tried him with mollies, this was a no go, then i put in some mickey mouse platies (they were female and very dull in colour) but no he hated them as well! he even flared at my glass catfish...

Hi everyone, i went to my local aquatics store the other day and was sold a bumblebee goby? Anyway i got the bus home and within 6 hours of purchasing and put in my tank it died! We rang the place up to ask why and apparently they are notoriously 'bad travellers'. Was this an excuse or is this...

I am wanting to buy some blue pearl/blue tiger shrimp and wondered if anybody knew where i could get some from? Either online or close by? I am from South Yorkshire. I wouldnt mind buying online but dont really want to pay more than £8 or 9 delivery.   I am also interested in red nose shrimp...

Ok thanks for the advice, will all my shrimp still be okay? I have 1 rili shrimp, 1 bee shrimp, 2 ghost shrimp, 1 amano and about 4 cherries. Can dwarf gouramis live solitary? Are they aggressive or hard to keep? Thank you again

Hi everyone,   I have had a 50 litre tropical tank for 3 months now which hold various shrimp, a false julli cory which i got today, 4 neon tetra and 3 rummynose tetra. I was wondering what others i could add? I am wanting either a lone fish or a pair that stand out and are fairly colourful.  ...
