    Shrimp

    🐌Are Cherry shrimp or mystery snails co-habitable with Nerites(red onion snails) & DIma the Beta? I found some yellow empty shells in the tanks & enquired if they can put some by even if bladder but looked like garden ones in shape. btw are nymphs and sprites similar?🐌

    Shrimp

    Out of interest are glass shrimp the ones in the pet shop next to the coldwater tanks?

    Shrimp

    I was going to avoid fresh rainwater to avoid other visitors but I prefer less algae growth, low ph, no chlorine & the calcium to be manually added from cuttle, rocks etc

    Shrimp

    Would it be happy to snack on a couple small bladder snails? I put some cuttlebone in so it needn't bother minnows with plenty of dry daphnia & flakes

    Shrimp

    Mind you it vanished in the morning so may have gone check out a pot etc

    Shrimp

    Found what seems is a ghost shrimp. Please clarity?🐜
  8. She was looking big on the abdomen & I wondered if it was at the back of the tank laying but no sign for 6 days now. I wanted to avoid removing & moving substrate & will, if it's better to get some cuttlebone as I forgot to peel off the egg skin when I washed the egg but forgot the membrane bit but I presume it gives strength & has protein & calcium to an extent though someone said cuttle is better & easier to digest. I'll try both though
  9. I did the water change and topped up and just put the shells which the snails are fine with but mountain cloud has vanished last week so fearing the worst & removed ornaments but will leave two densa, couple of stones & 1 small ornament. Will the newjet pump be too much? The two rubys were fighting the current when fully open so I closed off halfway
  10. I dread to say I haven't seen my mountain cloud minnow for nearly a week & fear she may have passed on somehow although I removed the ornaments, rocks & ferns to no avail. I'm to afraid to check the alodea behind & may need to leave it with the two ruby's
  11. I was looking on the amazon website on returns of unopened packages. As I used the product and it stopped working for no particular reason will they still refund or exchange it for a working one? I am using a small beta pump temporarily but need today to remove and replace half the water in the aquarium due to high amonia and nearly two months using the temporary one. I am now stuck with the faulty adaptor having looked into it finding two springs and two copper plate terminals not knowing how it works correctly. UPDATE.... My two apple snails were mating yesterday and just laid eggs so I will be unable to do any large water changes if any. Can you suggest please?
  12. I'll call up Amazon to see if they can refund and exchange it. The impellor is sound but it was a little noisy in it's last few hours of operation. Nothing seems broken so I guessed it's the motor unit or the moulded plug
  13. About a minute before booting up my laptop the pump stopped. Should I try to get a refund? It's from Amazon but all I did was plug it in the adaptor, seat it, moved toe wire away so it didn't make a buzzing & put a piece of rubber on the back to tilt it forward slightly. I can't see how it will break the motor but it could be an internal issue & it's the third one that's broke but being a marina slim 15 pump maybe they're notoriously lousy setups? Is there another route please I should go down like replacing the entire lot or change it for a different model or leave the make for another one?
  14. I have some dried shrimp & can crush some eggshell too. EWill tapsafe help? It's similar & removes the chlorine & other additives in tapwater. I have 2 Pomacia Coniculata snails in too. Will the dsp of salt be safe for the 2 by 1 foot aquarium? should I clean the bottom & move fish to a tub? I have an old hamster tray but blew the Marina pump twice & using an old beta filter. I have the small aquarium 1 but the replacement is being posted tomorrow so I can clean prior to installing?
  15. NO3 = 160 NO2 = 0 pH = 6 KH = 0 GH = 120 It's sitting on the bottom but struggling to swim though hasn't got any enlargement on the abdomen. I guessed it could be age related?
  16. 😔This guy looks poorly and I just buried poor zebedee yesterday & don't want it to die a week later. Is it sbd syndrome affecting it?

    Plug

    I'm trying to use a us imported S15 slim Marina power head on the 20gal & wondered if the US 2 pin plug will fit on this 13AMP/250V Daewoo dual plug adapter I found in Robert Dyas?
  18. I had a 4 pack weekend feeding blocks but can they stick onto the glass and why did and has the aquarium group left facebook now? 🙄
  19. 6 Minnows & Danios in a 60cm Length-30cm width-35cm height aquarium roughly 20gal & 2 apple snails2 Java and a narrow grass in but large enough & slightly brackish so they aren't cut down by the snails. Hornwort is 1 I'm considering or floating. My parents old fish pond has some duck weed but is harbouring darters & dragonflies but hasn't been oxygenated for some years. The rotten leaves from the storms have built up & rotted on the base but the plants are fine
  20. Hiya I wondered if it would be safe to put an aquarium food stick & vegetable, algae source for my danios and 2 snails for 2 weeks iof I take a short vacation but I don't have 1 booked. Has this worked before?🤔
