6 Amano's Heavy With Eggs - Green Water?

[pippoodle]

Ok hubby been reading up on breeding amano shrimp in captivity and is going to give it a try -- rather him than me
The one thing he wants me to ask is about the green water and how do you make it ?


this link on breeding them is excellent http/mikes-machine.mine.nu/breeding_yamato.htm

Green water is just floating algae in the water, to make it you need some of the right species of algae to start the culture with (purchased from a refrigerator at your lfs or fresh from ebay) a preferably decent florescent light over a tank/bowl or whatever you want to grow the algae in, nutrients for the algae (you can get this off ebay, but aquatic plant fertiliser is probably just as good and cheaper) and a small air pump to keep the water moving so the algae doesn't settle on the bottom of the tank and die.

Good luck .
