@HenryC posted a beautiful shrimp video the other day. It looks like his shrimps are eating broccoli. Check it out.

Finally found an infusoria system that works for me!

Thanks @Hobbit. I definitely didn't stir it. I just left it alone and checked on it periodically. Will reattempt soon! -

I love it @Anjum! You guys want to see something reallyyyyyyyyy weird? My nerite was sifting through sand, on its back, looking for snacks. I had no idea what on earth...?! I thought oh man, I'm going to have a dead nerite later. But no. It did this craziness, and then it went back upright and started cruising around the tank as if nothing had happened. It left a little hole behind too.

I put them in pretty shallow, at a 45 degree angle so they don't float up. Probably 1/2 - 1". I don't bother with removing leaves. And when they develop roots, the roots will go down and find the nutrients, when they are ready. They can get nutrient burn, if planted deep & before they are ready to take the nutrients up.

To tell you the truth, my favorite thing in the tank is the snails! They are fascinating to watch! Now I have snail babies. 😍

Need advice! What would you do??
Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to Phillip's topic in General Discussion
I use a pond pump attached to a Python hose and this doohickey. Just to make sure my sand is undisturbed. I put a bucket in my sink and I let the faucet fill it up. The pond pump goes in the bucket. I add a tall cup of ice to the bucket and test w/ meat thermometer. I add ice until I can get it as close to tank temp as possible. Then after dosing tank w/ dechlorinator, I plug in the pump and it sends the proper temperature water to my tank. I keep the faucet running until I'm done. I had to check flow rate of faucet and distance I was going w/ the hose in order to select the proper pond pump. If you plan to use this approach, tag me and I can show you where I found the information. -

Thanks so much for sharing this! I tried the yeast thing last month, but I didn't notice any development. I didn't give it light though, and I didn't split it. I used tank water and mulm and kept it at room temperature. Maybe the lack of light was my problem? -

Weird question but do you remember what brand? My turkey baster is bad. The stuff I suck up just wants to fall back out before I can get the baster out of the tank.- 1,440 replies

AquaClear Ammonia Remover and issues with 10 gallon.
Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to Jen Abe's topic in General Discussion
I like Fritz Zyme. Easy way to add bacteria to your tank and prevents new tank syndrome, or helps tanks that need a bacteria boost. -

Grr. No hatching. During breeder box cleaning I always take the styrofoam (that floats the eggs) out so I can work. Well, it had some hitchhikers and one of them took a ride to the bottom of the tank and had to get turkey basted back up! Beam me up, Scotty! I bet she was pretty dizzy after that adventure. She is safe & sound in the breeder box again. Here’s some pics of them hitchhikers!- 1,891 replies

Ooh Teejay is spoiling his snails! Yeahhh! Mine got some boiled zucchini today. When I gave York the carrot, there was orange “dust” everywhere in the tank the next morning. I thought I had some weird strain of algae at first, then it dawned on me. I think I will stick with the greens… although she LOVED the carrot and carried it around. So it could be an occasional treat, I suppose. 🙄

I should note that last time I got limpets, everything else started hatching the same day. Let's see what happens when I get home today. Do you think I will get any different colors? I think I will either get gold or gold. 🙃- 1,891 replies

Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to Chick-In-Of-TheSea's topic in General Discussion
Haha, cute little guys. Would you believe I only have 1 mystery snail? But a mystery snail can get impregnated at the pet store or whatnot and hold onto the eggs for months! And sure enough, she laid eggs 4 times for me. You can drop a cuttlebone in there or some crab cuisine. Either contains calcium and it's great for shell development. Your are a lot bigger than the ones from my first clutch, which was a tiny, marble-sized clutch. I needed a magnifying glass to see them for a bit. It's been about 2 weeks now and they are a little bigger than peppercorns. -

Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to Chick-In-Of-TheSea's topic in General Discussion
Na, I embrace the critters. Let's see what they do. 🙂 They're probably munching on the baby snail food and having a good time. That's cool @DarthMollusk. What color are yours? I started a snail hatching journal if it interests you. -

Hey all. @HenryC helped us out; he said they are called limpets (micro snails). Neat huh? (discussion link)- 1,891 replies
