Thanks, Czar, Ill look into them also, let me know how it goes. Are you hoping to breed both simultaneously or just keep?
I hope the shrimp propagate enough to keep the tank populated, but I'm sure the CPDs will eat some of the fry. Not specifically a breeding project though.

Welcome to the forums!
We are currently trying our hand at Caridina shrimp with Celestial Pearl Danios. Its very early to tell, but I'm hoping this will be a good pairing.-

Out of our 3 remaining shrimp, two of them look like this
But one of them looks like this.
I'm no shrimp expert, but this fella doesn't look like a Tangerine Tiger.-

We did a big algae cleaning of our betta tank, and it caused a bit of a spike. We used Prime to detoxify it until it could catch up.

Welcome Gomez! I dont know much about cichlids, but I'm certain someone here can help you out!

I'd second the Amazon Frogbit--I have super hard water, and it was fairly successful to me until I cleaned out the duckweed that came with it and then it slowly disappeared--no idea why--maybe a flow issue. Salvinia has stuck around well for me, too, but it doesn't have very long, cool roots. I'm giving water lettuce a try soon, so I can let you know how that goes!
Yeah we have great luck with the Salvinia (Water Spangles) too, but yeah...short roots.

Red Roots are gorgeous, Amazon Frogbit also grows incredibly long roots and propagates super easy. Makes it almost look like a kelp garden.

I think some floaters would look great. Frogbit, Water Spangles, or Red Root would look great!

Have you considered Assassin Snails?

Great tanks! Welcome to the forum!

Since we will be keeping mostly nanotanks, I decided to go ahead and grab a decently rated, inexpensive IR thermometer. The problem is that it's reading 5 degrees lower in one tank, and 4 in another. Both of these tanks have digital thermometers, but lets be honest I have no idea if those are accurate either.
Should I get a cheaper mercury thermometer to try to get a true reading and see which might be accurate?
I love the idea of the point and shoot, especially for acclimating new fish but now I don't know what to believe! 😉 -

I started to type something not safe for family, but thought better if it. I’m not sure what standard business procedure is for shipping live fish, but I’d be irritated if this happened to me. All I can add is that my shrimp supplier adds an extra or two to cover shipping loss.
This was the first time I ever ordered fish where extra weren't included. This is partially our fault, I have had great luck with a different supplier but they were out of stock and I never got a reply on when they'd get them back.
-
Yeah, paying another 50 bucks to ship 16 dollars with of shrimp that died at no fault of ours seems pretty unethical.
It's such a small amount that I debated letting it slide as opposed to putting 2 poor shrimp through that process again, but I feel like giving a partial refund would be in order.
After arguing on the phone with the guy, we're getting our 16 bucks refunded.-

Our family loves watching our Mystery snails! My favorite behavior is when they suck onto a floater and ride around in the filter current.
Fred used to do that with a chunk of floating cuttlebone, and the whole time I'm singing "A Whole New World...." from Aladdin.

Thanks Big Green, Do either of you have any good ideas where I should be looking for Mosquito Larvae? I went to 2 local streams and the local reservoir shore and couldn't see any wrigglers on either. we are a desert community, so apart from that and the irrigation ditches there isn't a whole lot of other standing water.
Look for stagnant water.

Clearing up nicely! Parameters have all fallen in line save the ammonia, and that's dropping every day.
Roots sprouted on the bulb, so it is now turned properly.

Stratum does lower the PH, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t lower the GH. You need RO or distilled water to do that. What I hear over and over is that Shrimp like very stable conditions. This has also been my experience. I’d make sure your water parameters are close to those of the supplier and try not to make to many changes. I seem to have the best luck with very few water changes and the second generation of shrimp in the tank seem much more hardy than the first.
Our source says they were tank raised, so we are trying to match their parameter listings as close as possible. Hopefully they'll be hearty fellas!

I think the red of both would look outstanding with a heavily green planted tank!
