£5 for what exactly the 10-15 crypts? or everything?

Looks like dwarf hair grass. Its been cut at the front and left to grow at the back. I have made a carpet out out this and have just one tip. CO2

Firstly you should have cycled. Adding livestock so soon is harmful for them so in future take a look at the beginners centre on this forum. Secondly, shrimps are sensitive to any amounts of ammonia(fish waste) and nitrites that build up if a tank is not cycled. The cloudy water is indeed a...

TNC do a small starter kit bit in the end, in terms of lifetime and base cost extinguisher

should be fine if stored in a dry place.

They should be fine as long as they aren't getting thrown around by the current.

If I hold water for top ups from evaporation I just leave some sit in a container overnight. Chlorine evaporates itself over time.

Add stock slowly. 1-2 fish at a time. A huge amount added too soon will over-encumber the bacteria and possibly kill the fish.

Lumix is a reputable company for good cameras

Try mail ordering them from Tyne Valley aquatics

Baby shrimp are very small. Half a centimetre mine are right now and if fish are present they will hide. Just give it time and try not to move the shrimp too much as any stress the female will abandon the eggs. Good Luck

As the Human population rises there will always be times where something needs to be sacrificed to feed our expansion and need for electricity. This dam might be rejected but there will be many more situations like it.

Keep an eye of the Free Ads, there is usually one on there

I'm pretty sure that the bottled bacteria has traces of Nitrites in it too feed the bacteria when they enter your tank. Double dosing it could potentially mean you are adding it.

Before the saddle on the back moves towards the back of her body to become eggs the female will molt, like any shrimp a molt is a risky situation and they are at their most vulnerable. She is most probably hiding untill her new exoskeleton becomes hard.

The rotting food waste you are pulling up is the bacteria's primary source of food. EDIT: And that cloudy water is most probably a bacterial bloom.

Hey Gavin nice looking tank, I have one myself. Have you ever thought about changing the Gravel? IMO A black substrate would bring the colours of the fish out my better.

They should be fine on the flake. If you are that worried go out and buy some frozen Daphnia, fry love that.

Congo Tetras

I would first go with some Dwarf Sag. It will form a carpet easily

is your water current too powerful. Remember that in the wild these fish live in small still puddles

Cherry Shrimps will breed and breed but unlike snails will be eaten by fish. If your tank is stocked with fish then you can likely to not have a population problem.

Great looking fish there. Dwarf Cichlids are amazing imo

Before wasting money first identify what is causing your plants to die...not enough light, water parameters not tailored to the plant...etc. My guess is that you have chosen advanced plants which are more needy than others. For a fert I would recommend TNC Complete (Google it)

The amount of water you change depends on the number of fish. The more fish the more waste resulting in higher nitrates, these if too high can poison a fish. I do about a 20% change every week on my tanks which means fresh water with minerals and less waste. To do a 20% w/c you would need to...

40L doesn't really sound all that big. They set up territories and the more space you give them the better

I dose non lite TNC and shrimps are fine.

1 root tab for every 30cm of tank is my rule. so you would need to place 4 accordingly

These shrimp can grow quite large and prefer if your tank has a good current. I've seen ones at around 2.5" in my LFS

Dwarf Gouramis are prone to a bacterial infection. It's probably too late but your best bet is to keep the water good quality and hope for the best.

Hot water has a very low amount of oxygen. This can kill a fish so I would maybe an airstone/venturi device to make sure the O2 level stays safe.

Run them both for 2 weeks then try and stuff as much of the old media(sponges) into the new one. You can cut the sponges to fit.

Aren't blue tubes only for marine? I've heard you shouldn't use them in freshwater. On a side note, I carpeted a 8Litre with hairgrass and the one tip I can give is to keep it free form Algae otherwise the plant suffocates.

I'll have another go at it.

Sorry for your loss. Get a refund

I hate how some people don't even consider a fish to be an animal and that they are "easily replaced". When owning a fish you are taking on just as much responsibility as if you were looking after a Rabbit.

You.....collect.....skulls...... -_-

Try SeaChem Matrix. It is by far the best Bio Media I have ever used
