    Shrimp for hair algae

    It depends on the temperament of the fish. I had 2 angels that would devour entire colonies of shrimp, and several others that couldn't be bothered by shrimp. The gourami may also eat shrimp, or just their legs if the shrimp bodies are too big.

    Growing VFT's from seed???

    jpappy is correct. You should always start with an adult first, to learn the proper care for a carnivorous plant. From seeds, a VFT will take around 1.5-2 years to grow in nicely. With an adult plants you can see if what you are doing is working or not, whereas with seeds you do not know if they...

    Mesh for a moss wall

    The plastic window screen works amazingly! It is all I use for moss walls, plus it comes big and cheap. I got a 3'x7' roll for around $6, that should be plenty big enough to give you the option of using fold method or not.

    What does a shrimp...

    When I first started keeping shrimp years ago, was the only time I ever had my shrimp interbreed and revert to wild coloration. I had one 20g tank mixed with between 50-80 cherry, snowball, and blue pearl shrimp. After about 6 months to a year I noticed that slowly and surely my tank was being...

    What does a shrimp...

    It would really depend on what two shrimp crossbreed as to what they will look like. However, as a more generalized answer to your question, each time the shrimp interbreed the babies will start to look more and more like wild-caught shrimp.

    teach me about computers please

    I wish I could still get away with a 1000 watt PSU. I had to jump to 1200 watts, crossfire (for Eyefinity) and my 8-core CPU made sure of that. LBF, if you are going to be using Win XP, you will want around 1GB of RAM if you are going to be watching online videos. Unless of course you have a...

    Laptop speakers issue

    If you have tried all of the above mentioned suggestions, then if I were you I would boot into the BIOS and check those settings making sure none of your speakers or audio HW is disabled. I should also note that I have seen newly installed programs, drivers, et cetera make PC's stop playing...

    Can angelfish be with smaller fish and cherry shrmp?

    It is very likely that in time the angel will end up snacking on the shrimp. A good countermeasure is to keep the angel well fed so it doesn't feel the need to snack.

    BBA - has anyone ever successfully eradicated it?

    I battled with BBA for about 9 months. I tried hydrogen peroxide, which never worked for me. I also doubled my dosing of Excel, which slowed it, but did not eliminate it completely. I eventually obliterated it with the introduction of 2 juvenile SAE's. I had adults in the tank beforehand and...

    FS Would anyone be interested in some TPN+?

    I was just clarifying, as I do not believe I ever said how much I wanted. Only that I wanted to be added to the list.

    Name that one fish that you totally regret getting...

    jewel cichlids.......I thought it was awesome that with my first attempt at sexing them I got 2 that almost immediately paired off. Then I realized a few days later how bad of a decision that was, as they destroyed every living thing in the 55 gallon tank. They killed the other 2 cichlids (glad...

    What would you do

    Homedog --> I'd have to be kicking myself over leaving my toolbox unopened and unlocked. On top of that, I would have to wonder how a 4 year old got all the way down into the basement alone Dun, in your case....I'd stop buying chocolate chip cookies, and start RE-attaching locks to the lids of...
