Yellow shrimp and 2 bff male endlers.

Google doesn't have anything like this. I watched these last night, and I saw them wobble a couple times, but I figured it was the filter flow. I didn't think to google because I figured they were eggs and would be all over google. But I can't find them today. What? The shrimp that are on...

It's hard to see the blue rili, but I can count 3 at a time usually. I had 10, but I'm not too worried because there are thick plants they can hide in. The red ones look GREAT, which surprised me after how they were when they got here. I lowered the temp like the other person said, but I'm...

Yes! When I had plants dying, I was like, meh, let me go to Joann's. OMG. No. I have a little 10g now that has all sorts of candy colored decorations, but I got those second hand in my local fb fish group, little by little. The silk ones? No way.

I'd say this for me, too. I'd also not add them so fast and go one by one so I didn't get overwhelmed by research. I got some plants from a lady who works at petco and asked her what to do about my brown thumb and she looked at my mostly barren tanks and said just do one at a time and to wait...

Thanks! I have read what you said and I tried doing 10% every other week, but no joy. Then I read that I should change 50% le sigh. I will try your method for a while. Just got some new ones, so we'll see. Ew, the water is so nasty from this person and the shrimp are very big and it was...

That makes sense. My 10g ish tank is tall, as if a 10g were on its side. I have a really strong filter, though, with a lot of flow, so I don't think it would be that in regards to temp. I have wondered if the flow was a problem, though, because it's a pretty big flow. But the amanos love...

Thanks, I will try that out and see if it helps. It seems like I turned them up because of something I read about breeding them, but I don't remember where I read that. I am reading other things right now that suggest just what you're saying, so I will back it down slowly. The heaters I use...

Yep, covered by sponge. The first ones I got were from a local breeder. After that, I've used ebay, different sellers each time. They seem to be happy and healthy when they first get here. I do the spoon method of acclimation and they all seem to be happy for, I don't know, I guess 3 or 4...

No, I don't see their bodies, but I've bought shrimp quite a while ago that never showed up. At least after they had started breeding. Once I had some babies, they just went away, babies and adults. I blamed my crazy pleco for it, but then all my blue ones died in the other tank that has...

Did a WC saturday, tested today using API kits. My nitrates are low, somewhere between < 0 and < 5 ppm for both tanks, which is lower than they usually are. Also for both tanks: 0 ammonia 0 nitrites did not measure pH, doh kh: 12 drops for 10g 23 for 20g All of that is off the chart that...

Hmm, maybe I'm doing too small WC. I do about 20-25% on those tanks. You think bigger WCs would help?

Thanks, I will do that. Added the API test to my cart just now. Thanks. I got the amanos after I was losing shrimp, so they are probably eating any dead ones, for sure. The tanks have lids and both of the filters have foam firmly attached to the intake pipes. I guess a few might jump up out...

I'm having problems raising shrimp. I keep buying them, and they keep disappearing one by one, or two by two. The RCS are in a 20L w/ just two small corys and amano shrimp (I think. I haven't seen them for a few days) and snails. The blue rili are in the 10-11G, only them, snails, and...

It looks kinda like they might be green in the pic, but they are black. You can tell by looking at my hand in the pic. I'm pretty sure I know what is causing it. We have natural light in every spot in the house, and windows everywhere, so this tank is under a window. I use my tank lights 8...

Hi, I got this cool acrylic 11 gallon column tank a couple years ago for an awesome price on craigslist. It's got weird dimensions, and I'm not sure what kind of lighting I should get to replace the lights that came with the tank. The only thing I've been able to find about it are places like...

His fins are sliiiightly slightly better, but he's still all tattered and up on the top of the tank. Continuing melafix. The only thing I can find on google are people saying it's injury or water quality. It's not either of those. I'm so lost. Actually gonna try Fish Mox in case it's fin...

I just googled what the eggs look like and I've never seen any eggs. This is affecting all of the fins and tail, so it's not an injury. Also, he is staying in that one spot that is right close to the top of the water. I chased him off a bit ago with my hands, but he came back to this spot. I...

I have that one, and the other is... I'm not sure. I think this one is female, tho. Not sure what the other is called, but it is brown and black. It's a longfin, too, and I think they're both ancistrus, but I don't know if they will breed? They never have. Maybe the brown one is female too...
