I'm keeping caridina shrimp for the first time and wondering what snails if any can go in the soft water with them?

Here is the first 10 gallon life long tank for first betta. Thanks again all for inside

I am wanting to make one of their tanks a shrimp tank. Thanks all for imput. I didn't consider the hormones they can smell. I'll probably just get 2 more 10gal tanks for them. They are in 2 20gals I want to put shrimp in.

I have 2 betta I would like to put into a 20gal tall split in half. I have never split a tank before so looking for some firsthand knowledge. I see the plastic dividers for sale in black with little holes. I worry my betta will still see eachother and flare up. They can see me from across room...

I use for my bait bucket also just switch air lines.

No it's not quite, lol Luckily power was only off a few hours. Thanks to the small town city workers who do a phenomenal job keeping town going.

Just lost power here in NW Iowa and had to put my emergency aeration plan into place for my shrimp tanks. A friendly reminder to have a plan if power is lost. These battery bubbles are less than $10 each and can run multiple tanks.

Awesome, I'll pm you this weekend. This week is upper 80s low 90s at my house . Looking like next week will cool down a bit thus better to ship.

Hello, do you still have crystal reds available? Thanks in advance

I bred guppies for years and always colony bred. I still had 3 tanks for each strain. Main colony, then juvenile male and juvenile female. I kept females separate so i could sell virgin females. Then one cull tank for all strains combined.

I have a pretty new 10gal tank (3mo old) with fluval stratum, Indian almond leaf, alder cones, cholla wood, guppy grass and extreme blue bolts. I use ro water with gh powder added. My ph reading was below 6 as the master test kit only goes down to 6ph. I had another test kit for plants, tried...

Thank you for your service! Godspeed my friend.

Firstly sorry to hear, shrimp are delicate and some unexplained deaths do occur. I kept neos for years n years but just starting caridina so not expert but my 2 cents is. Kh is not too low, 0 or 1 is preferred with almost all caridina. Tds is on the high end, Lots of people keep under 150 tds...
