Sorry guys but they're gone and by that i mean dead, i'd NEVER kill fish or shrimp but if they're harmful they're better off gone. .....I probably should of taken them outside. Starting to feel guilty.

Thanks, one went down the sink time to try and catch the other! They're hiding in the moss, i bought some plants a couple of weeks ago i assume they came with the plants

It was on a large piece of moss that i cut off, managed to catch it in a small net. There are rummy nose tetras and blue shrimp in the tank. If they're harmful i'll remove them.

There's more of them!! :/ Eww, they're freaky!!

Found this whilst trimming the moss back, it has very strange movement, its less shrimp like than the photos show. It's very strange. I have caught it and put it in a jug for now as i am not sure if it's safe to keep in the tank.

I didn't notice anything in particular to be honest, i only bought a few crystal reds, i had issues with another few dying before i started the cycle again last year. For what it's worth i'll order a GH test kit :) I will find out the hardness of my water, thanks for the response and link. Do...

I've had the tank a few months now, about October, i started the cycle again in Decemeber when i had covid, filled it with dragon stone and Tropica plants, i bought the tank new. Some of the plants are from my local garden centre where i bought the shrimp from, most of the Tropica plants i...

Yes Pier is good too, they had a good choice of shrimp when i went. So many fish

Gordan riggs is good in Rochdale, i go most weeks i only live a few minutes away, good for freshwater, i know the guys well they place orders specifically for me. Abyss is amazing, it's a superstore it has everything, Fresh water and Saltwater.

I had a hair algae issue a few months ago, i used anti hair algae, it took awhile but it did the job. I use phosguard to remove any algae, have you ever had algae issues before this?

I don't think there are many fish that look better than Cardinals when in a large group. Rummynose tetras are also nice

Hi, So i've recently bought several crystal red shrimp, are these more difficult to care for than red cherries? I know atleast one died as for the others they're either hiding or i've lost the lot of them, i've got 50+ shrimp in my community tank mainly red and blue and i've never had any...

The bottle on the left says to use 1ml per 10l, the larger bottle says 2.5ml per 75l I'm not sure if they're carbon, is it safe to remove the black sponges? What percentage water change would you recommend to do? I assume giving the filter a good clean will help to? Thanks EDIT: I guess...
