I can't imagine what I was thinking, actually considering getting rid of my old 20 gallon tank.  Not enough room I said, what use do I have for it now I said...nuts to that!  I am now in the works of setting up a rcs tank! (and guppy fry)  I even tetrised around the living room so as to have a...

Hi guys :) just wondering if you can keep a giant armored fan shrimp with some oscars?

Hello,   My name is Trent and I am new to this forum.  I have had multiple aquariums and am not new to the hobby, however I have encountered a serious problem.  New Zealand Mud Snails.  Over the past year or so I have been trying to rid my 7 gallon dwarf shrimp tank of these pests.  Although...

Hell all, After some opinions Please...   I Have Planted 3 Plants into an Empty Aquarium and found I had a stow-away snail arrive. I know they are cleaners so am not totally against having him in there (I think).   However in a couple of weeks once its ready and running for a short while (maybe...

I was wondering whether there are any Shrimp that can be kept in a coldwater tank, with Goldfish? The reason I ask is that PetsAtHome seem to advertise certain Shrimp as 'temperate' and suitable to be kept with Goldfish. Is this right? I've not seen any other Aquatic stores advertise Shrimp for...

Hi Everyone,   This is my first post. Today I foolishly, on impulse, bought two gorgeous little things from the guppy seller at our local market here in Thailand. I would normally do some research beforehand but in over 10 year this was the first time I saw them and got excited. My two year old...

Can i have a bumble bee frog with a ADF? or will they fight or the frog eat the shrinp?

Hi , I recently started my first marine nano tank, I have been cycling the tank for two weeks now and have plenty of life that's come in on the live rock which I read is a good sign. I have plenty of tiny shrimp darting about when I turn out the lights but one of them is a little bigger and has...

I was told it was a yamato (apparently aka amano) when I bought it. But apparently shrimp get miss-sold sometimes?! I look at yamato shrimp on google images and they are spotty, my shrimp has some spots but also strips that are reddish in colour! Maybe it's a ghost shrimp? I hear they can be...

I'm new to the fish world. I accidently got 2 very small translucent shrimp with our last batch of fish. HOw do I take care of them? They are less active the last few days and hanging out near the top...not dead though. My tank is 2 weeks old and all the levels of everything seem to be good...

I'm new to the whole fish tank thing and accidently got 2 very small translucent shrimp with our last fish. They have been the tank that is 2 weeks old for a few days now. They were acting how I thought active shrinp should act until yesterday when they are favoring the top of the tank. Not...

Hi I'm having a few problems with my tank, and I'm hoping for some advice....this isn't going to seem like a plant question but just bear with my rambling and read it to the end. Lol thanks I have a 29 gallon cube tank with a few black skirt tetras, one blue dwarf gourami, two pairs of guppies...

Hi,   I am looking to buy some freshwater shrimp such as Amano, does anyone know of any shops or individuals that sell these in Colchester or surrounding areas?   Thanks   John

Held water on the first try, I'LL BE DAMNED!!  I set down dowels under the bottom piece to elevate it up so the pressure wouldn't be on the long flat surface, instead on the sides which is much better I feel.   I am going to add a brace on the top somewhere probably, the glass is very thin and...

Do all shrimps reproduce quickly? Warning* some may think this cruel In my new tank I would like to have shrimp that reproduce quickly, I want babies for scarlet badis to eat, as they like live foods... Obviously it won't be all I feed them, I know they won't reproduce that quickly... With...

Before I moved, i had a 10 gallon aquarium with a male betta, 8 neon tetras, and 5 ghost shrimp. My tanks was set up for about 2 months (after cycling). a few weeks after i had added the shrimp (which were the last), i noticed that some of my tetras had gone missing. I assumed that Sparkles, the...

I have just bought my cherry shrimp and 2 have eggs what is the best way to care for them?

At the invitation of Shrimp Addict I have started my second thread. After a good 1st year of fish and shrimp keeping in an 80cm tank I went for one of these as that's all I have room and also frankly funds for, justifiable and otherwise. I planned design well in advance, but after advice in shop...

So today I received my aqueon betta bow 2.5. I replaced the incandescent light and added some sand substrate. After I get my driftwood and plants bought snd in the tank, how should I go about cycling? I'd really rather not have to buy ammonia and test my water so often, as I don't have a kit...

So just today I ordered a 2.5 aqueon betta bow. I plan on heavily planting it with a few pieces of driftwood. So I'd originally planned on trying to cheat the cycling process by using a water change from an established tank, and adding some of the gravel or sand from one of my other aquariums...

Hey Guys   So I'm thinking of setting up a tetra tank, I want it to be a bigger tank that can hold neon tetra, cardinal tetra and penguin tetra. In at least groups of 5 each because they are schooling fish. Will those fish school together though? as they are all relatively the same size? I'm...

Hey all, I've been keeping fish for about a year now and want to tackle my first planted aquarium. You guys have given amazing advice in the past and I would appreciate some tips on what will be my first attempt at a planted tank.   My tank is small in size, roughly 20 - 25 litres.   First of...

Hey everyone! I have a few questions about both mentioned in the thread name.   I'm interested in starting a cherry shrimp colony. I have two tanks, a 15g and a 10g, available. Both are already up and running with established filters, etc. Curious what a good starting number would be, and what...

Hi   I set up my tank 6 months ago and recently had trouble with soaring nitrate levels.  Lost a few fish and have now managed to sort water.  Nitrate level is now 40 but it comes from the tap at a level between 20 and 40.   All fish are now fine and water is clear.  However one of the fish I...

Hello, I'm looking to buy the shrimps mentioned above around 10 pieces, please. I'd prefer to meet up in Leeds Centre for the exchange, or I could walk to your place if you could guide me! :D Thank you very much! Ronald

Good afternoon, I'm looking for any varieties of shrimps that are preferably not red. Collection can be arranged, and I'm only available to collect in Leeds Centre. Thanks! Please include the Price :)

I'm coming to the end of a fishless cycle for my 190 litre community tank. I've more or less decided my stocking list, but I'm needing some advice on algae eaters. I'm thinking of getting some shrimp or a small pleco. I have listed my specs below, and was wondering if anyone had ideas on what i...

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 just got a new 5 gallon tank, I've yet to set it up but I'm planning on making it a planted aquarium. The planned set up is for some driftwood in the corner, carpeted baby tears (HC), a Ludwigia hybrid species and maybe some star moss. Mostly fluval stratum substrate and a portion of it sand...
