I got the peat in the mail today... I put some in my HOB filter and after 3 hours, the water coming directly out of the HOB is 7.0! Finally something that works! It's called EHEIM Torf pellets for anyone interested.

In the wild, shrimp have so much more space to move around. In an aquarium, they're trapped. That's like in the wild, there are still some gazelles and things living because they have space to run away and hide from the lions and predators. If you trapped them in a cage, however, they would have...

It means as low as 6.3 as in you can get it that low. But the less peat you put in the filter, the less the pH drops. I'm shooting for 6.7-6.8.

I ordered some of this: http://www.amazon.com/EHEIM-Pellets-Chemical-Filtration-Filter/dp/B005QCDH0W I was thinking about getting organic peat moss from like Lowes, but it would make my water SUPER dark. According to reviews (and EHEIM's product description), this peat doesn't change the water...

Please direct me to a good place to buy this. Right now I have one leaf in the tank and another crushed up in the filter and my pH is still not budging - 7.6.

I have cherry shrimp right now, but I ordered OEBT shrimp Friday. They will be shipped Monday.

I feel so stupid... I forgot to take the carbon out of my filter! No wonder it wasn't working... I just replaced my carbon with a second crushed up leaf in my filter. So now we will see what happens!

Ghost shrimp have 20-30 babies at a time, so if they had babies in order for you to get up to 8, some of them were eaten in the process. I have a cherry shrimp tank and the only species I have in there are cherries. One female had babies and I went from 10 shrimp to around 30 overnight.

By general rule, if the fish is an omnivore or carnivore (ie. most freshwater fish) use this rule: if it fits in their mouth, they will eat it. Most catfish (not including plecos) will even try to eat shrimp if they are small enough. This is why ghost shrimp are $0.30 at the fish store - they...

Does it look like ich to you? Google "fish ich disease" and let me know. Another thing is that some of the angels may be fighting. When angels get nipped at, their scales can peel off (hence the white patches) and this weakens their immune systems. I had to get rid of a dalmation molly because...

Mine is kinda like apple juice now, but the pH hasn't changed. I need it to drop from 7.6 to 6.8 or so by the time my OEBT shrimp get here on like Wednesday.

I am having a hard time deciding whether I want to get crystal red shrimp or orange eye blue tiger shrimp. I have black gravel in my tank (Eco Complete Planted stuff). Will the blue shrimp blend in too much or will they look cool? Appreciate any responses!

I was wondering what the water color looked like. But nice pictures!

Do you have any photos?

I just ordered some Indian almond leaves for my 10 gallon shrimp tank and I was wondering how brown they are going to make the water. I know this is the betta section, but I know a lot more people use these leaves in their betta tanks, so I felt I would get some better answers here. My pH is...
