    So, paint strainers for shrimp tank ($8.99) water changes- amazing! First, shrimps like nets so most shrimplets will cling to the sides vs sitting in the bottom of the bucket camouflaged by mulm. Second, the strainer, which has an elastic, fits a 5 or even a 2 gal bucket, can be raised and lowered - you can reduce the water in the net by raising it (sliding the elastic down the bucket), bringing the mulm to you and finding the shrimplets quickly. I raised the strainer and we can see the shrimplet easily. And these photos are just showing how I reduced the water level in the net- less room for them to swim around. I’ve successfully isolated the area where they can be. Fine mulm went through the paint strainer. Shrimplets did not. Overall time to find shrimplets and return to tank: 5-7 minutes

    Hi

    I would highly recommend a parasite medication for pea puffers. Another journal on here documented parasite problems/sunken belly with pea puffers. It is hard to recover them once the parasites have taken hold; easier to prevent.

    When I have holes in my decor I want to eliminate, I stuff a small chunk of coarse foam into the hole.

    I was watching my black neons eating microfauna the other day. They were chomp chomp chomping at stuff I couldn’t see. I got out the macro lens, looked like they were eating ostracods. Cool!

    Some of the eggs are sliding between your marbles where they cannot get eaten. You’ve unintentionally made a breeding setup of sorts. & look at your shrimps! They are doing well!

    I mean, I guess we kinda knew that and the brackish water wasn’t sustainable for the rest of the tankmates. They wouldn’t eat the bacter ae?

    If a fish dies a mystery snail will eat it.

    No, I’m talking about the hill streams. 🙃 Snails are awesome, aren’t they?

    Do you think they might be mating? Also isn't it interesting that the white snail has dark brown new growth. Kind of like how nerites patterns switch.

    Hidden. (For the most part.) Lucio has a roommate in the window frame nook now. They sleep squished up next to each other.

    I'm not sure how I had missed this post. Blue Kong Zebra crayfish, say wuuuuuuuuuut? Super cool! 😍

    Meds that are toxic to worms or worm-like creatures are toxic to snails.

    Hey @madmark285! Is this the glue you used? This one (ingredient: cyanoacrylate) is tank safe! Other gorilla glues are not. Super cool caves and awesome concept! Love it.

    @Minanora @laritheloud Do your chickens ever lay blue eggs? My friend has a chicken that lays blue ones. Pretty neat.

    How are the zoes doing?

    Also add extra air, for sure! I forgot to mention it earlier! I shake the bottle for 1 minute. If your arm gets sore, you're doing it right.

    You need to go over here and put some photos of your chickens!
  21. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Very cool 😍

    I used it with shrimp and I did 7 days on, 3 days off, and I did another 2 rounds just like that. So 3 treatments total. It’s thick so you’ll want to shake the heck out of the bottle, measure it, then shake the dose up in a bottle of pond water and pour that in. After each treatment I would do a 50% water change. Then after the 3 days I would change the other 50% and redose. I hung a carbon media bag in the tank between treatments also.

    It’s fine. Mines like 180.

    That sounds like a cool project @JChristophersAdventures! The nerites lay eggs everywhere, it would be hard to collect them to protect the babies from fish. You may want to have a dedicated tank to start them out in. They will need lots of food on the walls because they don’t eat commercial foods like algae wafers, etc.
  25. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Yes. Definitely more sensitive than fish. But I tossed some shrimp in the 29g and did bucket water changes and they lived and had babies so maybe that will happen to you. If you have the coarse sponge filter the babies will use it as a condo.
