    WTB Pumpkin Orange Shrimp and Red Rili

    Hi I am looking to buy 10-12 each of Pumpkin Orange Shrimp and Red Rili. I am NOT looking to buy your culls. I'm looking for quality shrimp to start a healthy colony. I have 2 20 gallon planted tanks which are just about cycled so I want to get my sellers lined up. Let me know what you have...

    My dad has a small problem with his tank.

    Use advice which works best for YOU. What may work for others, may not necessarily be best for yourself. That's the beauty of testing new ideas. Even if it fails, you learn and gain more than you lost. If you have difficulty learning new information all at once, just take it slow and it will...

    My dad has a small problem with his tank.

    Lol. Well this was an interesting thread to read. First off, If you want help, take advice from others and quit with the excuses before everyone gives up on you. We are all here for one reason: to help and learn from other hobbyist (Ok I guess that's 2). Anyways, you need to learn how to gather...

    FS FS Shrimp SSS , Kijg Kong , Blue Bolt , Wine Red others Cincinnait, OH Shipped

    I have to agree with the posts here. Not saying you're a "scammer", but when dealing with high-end shrimp at that price, it would be in everyones best interest you actually show some form of credibility. Not just a link to an ebay account that may/may not actually be yours, and an email address...

    WTB Subwassertang and Blyxa Japonica

    Im looking to buy some subwassertang and some Blyxa Japonica. I prefer to buy together, but will consider buying from two separate vendors. I live in Florida and would not need a heat pack or any type of special insulation :) Let me know what you have and how much you are asking. Thanks

    New 20 Gallon Tank

    I would say most would prefer fish-less cycling. Its humane and IMO a lot easier. I don't know where you read up on that.

    TDS and GH- Water quality questions

    I know this is a really stupid question, but i'm a little confused. Are TDS and Gh basically the same thing? They both measure how hard or soft the water is (i think). Another question: Why would you use RO/DI water to lower the TDS but then re-add minerals to get it back up? And one more: If...

    New to Invertebrates!

    Both are fine. Shrimp love to sift through the gravel looking for food. I would probably say small gravel is better because it gives them more to grab onto, but sand is also good too!

    New to Invertebrates!

    Both are pretty simple to care for. I don't have experience with blue pearl shrimp, but i believe they are about the same as red cherries. If you have lots of java moss then you are good to go! :) Shrimp love it. Especially if you plan on breeding, the fry will spend most of their time on the java

As far as a top, i'm sure they make tops that size, just look up your dimensions and search the web. Or you could probably...

    What chemicals do I need?

    http://www.chelonia.org/articles/waterchemistry.htm This should help. Though a pH of 7.9 should be fine. Unless you feel like spending more money and a lot more effort getting to a ph of 7.2, i wouldn't really worry about it. Shrimp prefer a stable environment, if the pH is consistently...

    My first shrimp

    Yellow shrimp are pretty hardy like RCS. A Ph of 7.9 should be ok. Ammonia should be 0, but the rest are fine. Hopefully your tank is cycled and you should have no problem.
