Question 1: do shrimp eat blue green algae? Question 2: I am having some really unlucky purchases with shrimp. The first group of shrimp I bought is doing great. 3 out of the 4 big algae eating shrimp have made it. They have been in the tank for about 4-5 months. I have however tried to get a...

So a couple nights I noticed 2 of the rams paired off and last night me and a friend watched the female lay eggs on some drift wood. Thus far they have kept other fish away (24 g nano cube with 2 amazon swords 2.5 anubus 4 head and tail light fish, 10 neons, and 3 german blue rams 1 electric...

a fellow WI person :)

hm interesting... so they dont have much impact on water conditions and aslong as you have food in there for them it really won't matter much? Not interested in breeding basically if it happens fine but im not going for it.

hasnt effected my tank at all and ive left it on there. Im about to get some shrimp in the tank so ill be wondering if they clean it up or anything like that...

I just started a tank a couple months ago and when I first put my wood in maybe a week or 2 in the cycle process I had a white fuzz grow on mine. I did some online research and it had to do with some type of oil escaping the wood. Not sure what to tell you since its been in the tank for so...

where did you get the wood? how long has the tank been running? did you boil the wood?

Currently i have a 24 G nano cube (jbj) 2 driftwood pieces and 4 plants (2 a. swords and 2 aniubus) with 4 head and taillight tetras my question is I am about to get some shrimp for the tank. How many do you think I can get in there? 4? 10? never had shrimp so not really sure how many is to many?

well FYI im in the USA so that might be why its harder for me to find any? Anyway I have a driftwood cave formed by 2 pieces 2 aniubus and 2 amazon swords w/ the 4 tetras

Currently just 4 head and tail light tetras I tried a search with that other nickname and still can't find anything as far as buying them. I guess this is a really rare shrimp... :( Anyway I bought 4 Japonica Amano Shrimp (hopefully thats not to many for a 24 gallon tank?)

Yea it figures the one shrimp I really get set on also happens to be impossible to find lol

well no real reason why just shrimp. I never owned my own fish tank I grew up with a couple via my dad but this is the first one im running on my own. We always would just get a plecco or something and he would just be a clean freak about it. Me im looking for something more natural to take care...

Ok I have a small hair algae problem and im looking for something to add to the tank to help clean it off the plants and things. I originally was going to get some kind of plecco but a kind poster told me thats kinda anti productive. So I looked online and I got my eye on getting a couple shrimp...

hmm.. in that case I think I may give these a shot. I am looking for alittle more activity in the tank and this would be something new I never had shrimp before

would they also like the plecco's add to the problem do you think?

just curious as im still doing research... what about glass shrimp? would they climb plants and eat the algae.. I see online they do eat algae but im trying to figure out if they just stay on the gravel and pick.. or what?

So your saying that if I get a small plecco or 2 it would only increase the problem in the grand scale of things? Do they eat hair algae off plants/wood

interesting I didn't know catfish would eat algae aswell... ill have to look into that more. Im glad though because I wanted to get a couple
