    Regardless of what we call them, I believe they are an intricate part of why this tank is so alive.

    Crazy color combo.

    Dragon fly larvae in the Tadpole tub!

    @Biotope Biologist My rubbermaid Tadpole tub, next to the Wine barrel pond! I just set it up early spring with some rocks, water Hyacinths and a piece of driftwood...the frogs do all the work and. Presto! Tadpoles! We did have a Dragon Fly emerge last year in the pond! So cool to watch! 😎 @Tony s That looks like a great Brook Trout snack!

    Somethings tickling my ear! 🐸 😅

    Cool. 😎 I'm in the process of setting up a small tank of local native species and Caddisfly nymphs are on my list of things under stream stones to put in the tank.

    Flying Spaghetti Monster in my mini tank!!!

    @Cinnebuns. Ok, I haven't had that problem and was wondering what the concern was. Thanks

    I have one of the metal framed stands. Rated for 660 lbs. Incredibly sturdy. The wood is medium density fiberboard (MDF). Well designed for my needs.

    @Janel R Disolve into the water to quickly? How would that be a problem?
  13. Matt B
    Lots of minerals

    I have a 6.8 gal. With a lot of plants. I think that's why I've been able to keep Cherry Shrimp, Ramshorns, 3 male Guppies and a Hillstream loach in such a small tank. I use 2 nano sponge filters and a 25 watt heater.

    @cmo1922 Don't be afraid! Give them a try and see what happens! I think you'd be surprised with what works!

    So many variations!

    Detritus (black worm?) worm, pokeing up out of the gravel..." Hey Shrimpies! What's for lunch?"....
  18. Matt B
    Baby Shrimpies everywhere! Gonna need some help counting them! Let's count the eyes and divide by two.....

    Useing a small flashlight to see what was going on in the nooks and crannies of the tank.. I noticed the worms are definitely light sensitive. 🤔 They dart back into the gravel and the ones I can see in the gravel, move quickly out of sight!

    They would make great fish food. What would be a good couple of little fish for a 7 gal tank? 🤔
  21. Matt B
    That is so awesome! It wouldn't last long in a tank with a large fish! Never seen one in a shrimp tank before, makes sense with nothing to chomp on it...It makes me look forward to doing some fly fishing this summer! The adults can be quite beautiful.

    Pipsqueak shrimpies! So tiny, it's challenging to get pics of them!

    This is the classic new to aquariums mistakes and fixes....Guilty as charged!! Live and learn and boy did I learn a lot... I think Fritz-zyme helped me , not really sure... Can't test for beneficial bacteria 🤔. I believe there's almost no way to really avoid the chaos of cycling a tank and getting it seasoned. . Lots of live plants and as much stuff from a seasoned tank as possible! Add some fish food, try and grow some algae and wait.......

    I like this subject and reading about all the different options out there! I recently put some pics together for a friend, she was wanting to know what I was doing with this 6.8 Imagitarium cube. She has a 5 gal cube and loves it. Shrimp and plants, very basic. So the tank is great! I got it second hand, so this was a project... So keep that in mind. The internal filtration system was junk, removed it, (not an easy task) ..The light was junk, replaced it.... lid was broken so I just use a piece of plastic from a rubbermaid container, nice and lightweight, so when I drop it on my foot, no problem. . I really like a small simple cube! This is how it's set up.....

    @lighting13 It's kind of hard to say how much to add to a 3 gal.🤔.. It's actually hard to describe how much I add every other day in my 6 gal. I'd call it just a 1/4 of the little scoop that comes with it. I've got a lot of shrimp, snails and plants,.. so food gets consumed fast...There are a couple of You-Tube videos I've come across that fellow hobbyist descibe what they do in different tanks. It's amazing how much info you can find these days!
