  1. Boy yall make me feel retarded lol. Thanks to all that helped. I ended up buying a digital scale and measured out one spoonfull than divided from there to get an accurate amount. Hopefully it helps. I wouldnt worry to much but these Shrimp were very expensive at $25/ shrimp and Ive read the planeria is ruff on the baby shrimp
  2. Mix a full dose in a single cup of water? How would I than dumb it down?
  3. No planeria for my tank. Ive got a fluval ebt 2.6 gallon shrimp tank and im trying to do the math with little success. Directions says one spoon full for 50 litres/13 gallons. How the heck do I figure out how much to use for 2.6G? Normally im good at this but this time its got me flustered HELP. I also thought maybe I could mix 13 gallons of water and than add by doing a 50%water change with the 13 gallons of the premixed
  4. I love my caridina tanks, I currently have 8, 3 gallon tanks and one 32g
  5. Do you have or pla. to use RODI water? What kinda mineral booster? And the reason they say its better to have an established tank is because of the biofilm. I have put a tank up using a sponge filter from an established Tank and ha e been successful. I use Salty shrimp GH booster. With Caridina your gunna want a TDS pen for preparing water parameters
  6. How long are they? Think I may have the same in my Taiwan bee tank. They may be Planaria and if so Ive heard Cory say 100 times cut down the feeding and if your really concerned throw in a few guppies and they will wipe it clean.
  7. My water parameters are as follow GH 6 KH 0-3 normally 1 PH 6.0 Temp- 70* Nitrate is 10-20 ppm Nitrite and ammonia 0ppm
  8. Hey all Ive got a question for all my fishtastical friends. I have an extremely heavily planted fluval flex 32g its literally a jungle. I purposely did this for a specific Shrimp known as the caridina species all Taiwan bee's. I also have 15 or 20 amano shrimp. Ive literally put about 100 to 150 CBS and CRS in the aquarium. Also I have 2 king tiger plecos. My water has always been spot on with weekly 8% water change (5g) Anyhow I've noticed over the past 3 months my Taiwan bees are disappearing and im not seeing any dead bodys anywhere. My question is has anyone ever had amanos eat other shrimp? They are set on an auto feeder thats a mixture of Bacteria AE, Shrimp fit and Regular crustacean foods. Not sure whats happened but I cant find any of them.
  9. For my Salty Shrimp GH booster I shoot for a TDS of 75 which is usually a GH of 5* to 7*. When you buy that specific brand it comes with a little measuring spoon. To achieve my desired TDS is about a 1/4 spoon. And that is for my Caridina species. Now my Neocaridina I use the Salty Shrimp GH KH booster and I try to get the TDS as close to a TDS of 200 +/- 20 Sorry and that is using RODI and 5 gallon colligan jugs
  10. Hey all I"ve looking for a particular Caridina shrimp PRL bred from a master breeder Named Miss Ellen Wang. I'd bought 5 off of aquabid a year ago and am looking to buy more but cant seem to find anyone who has them. I tried to find the sellers name off of aqua bid but haven't been successful I thought I'd put the word out here if anyone knows where I could find them that would be great. Thanks in advance
  11. One thing I think we all can agree on is the price of everything has went up but the durability has went down like everything else. If it was me and I was setting up a 10g betta tank I would most definitely go with a small air pump and small sponge. The pro's to having a sponge filter way out way the con of a noisy aerator. If mounted correctly the aerator is quiet as a mouse. I dont know about anyone else nothing drives me crazy like the sound of trickling water from a HOB. But it also helps people with their husbandry. The louder the sound the more water that needs to be attended to or replaced. I personally cant afford to replace the filter every couple weeks of a HOB. If I didnt have a heavily stocked tank I would run nothing but sponge but seeing how I have way to many fish in my 75G I change 50% of the water every week and run multiple filters plus have a heavily planted tank. To each is their own tho. No matter how you run your setup i'm glad your back in the hobby and part of the Nerm fam! Hope everyone has the most very best day!!
  12. only Stuff I've used is the Salty shrimp GH booster or the Salty shrimp gh kh booster and it seems to dissolve fairly quickly for me. I add it to my jugs' than add the water.
  13. I found that it depends on the puffers size. My juvenile Fahaka puffer cann only eat what he can fit in his mouth other than that he just kinda bites at the shell with little luck getting any substance. Right now Im feeding rams horns snails until hes big enough for mystery snails or clams
  14. Usually a good supplier can add heat packs if needed. They will know if its safe to ship. Id just reach out to them and they will tell you. If it was that big of deal they would only ship during summer months but thats not the case
