About the only thing I have learned since joining the hobby is not to be in a rush with a new tank lol

Yes I know about that I already have some plants in the tank but not the fast growing kind, Anubias, Crypto. I am not in any particular hurry just curious how long it took to be seeded.

thanks much, much longer than I thought so glad i asked

Couldn't find my exact question in the forums. Starting a new small tank and bought new sponge for it. If i just place this new sponge in my established tank how long would it take to seed? few days? weeks? Do I need to have it running and connected to airline or just sit in in the tank. My...

Thanks much for the opinions I didn't think it would be harmful but just not much info on it's use in a community tank.

yes they are Neo's, blue dreams. Now my community tanks have ottos my shrimp only tank is just shrimp. My question isn't on the efficacy of Bacter that I am pretty confident has done a good job. It is with using it in a community tank. I suspect it would be fine just wasn't sure if anyone...

I have been using this in my shrimp only tank with great results seems to increase survivability of the babies. Normally what i do is move my shrimp from this tank to my other community tanks over time. Now i do have lots of hiding places in my community tanks but never really consider shrimp...

No I have not looked on ebay I was just checking the online retailers LiveAquaria, TheShrimpTank etc. I was more just curious as I could not see how Covid could affect shrimp breeding but not tropical fish. By crazy expensive I meant the unusual shrimp varieties that were going for 10 a shrimp...

I realize it is a crazy time, but I just happened to start my tank right before this mess. Figured since I was at home the whole time I would get some cherry shrimp. Everywhere I look online or local pet store all but maybe the crazy expensive shrimp are out of stock. Fish you can get...

My water would be fine as it is closer to the softer end then acidic but the schooling is what stopped me from getting them.

Ok thanks much. Another case of the dealer just wanting to sell fish as they told me there weren't. Appreciate it

Was thinking of adding a couple Rainbow fish (Dwarf Neon or Turquoise) to my 55 G tank. I have some red eye and lemon tetra's in there right now with some ottos. I am finding conflicting information online on whether Rainbows are schooling fish or not? I was thinking of getting 2 maybe 3...
