I see, that makes sense. I thought the spikes could still occur even after a full fishless cycle. That makes more sense.

Well hello stranger. Probably some cooler colours like blue as I have another tank with predominantly red and orange shrimp

ah, i see. I thought spikes could occur after the fish were added. It seems like I got a bit confused. Yes, the cycle was finished for almost a week (finished after week 3), but I left it an extra week. Did my first water chance the other day. He has bug bites, frozen food and gel food. I've...

Just made a new thread to figure out what shrimp would look best. Thank you both for your help ^_^

So, with my plans for the 19L dissolved, I'm looking into getting some shrimp for the tank. It's moderately planted with a larger driftwood decoration, and is freshwater with a heater and filter. With these conditions in consideration, what shrimp would look the best? Keeping in mind I already...

I did. Do the spikes not occur? Was that only while cycling? I'm a bit confused 😓 But yes, I cycled my tank for 4-ish weeks using mature filter media from another tank.

Yes, there's only one crayfish which we can keep, which as Avel mentioned is too big for my tank. We have one crayfish native to the UK which is illegal to own (the white-clawed crayfish), and I'm not too fond of trying to search for a Mexican crayfish which carries a fine I believe if I'm found...

Had him almost a week now. His tank temp is 25 and I'm checking his tank conditions every few days since I know spikes can happen after adding fish.

Sorry for the late response. I've gotten a male betta for the 25 litre and the other is still cycling. Turns out that the 18 is actually a 19, thought I know it doesn't change much. Looks like I'll be going for some shrimp on the weekend. Thank you all for the advice.

Apologies for the late response, but I've only seen this now. Thank you for the advice, but I've just been informed that the keeping of crayfish is illegal in the UK (thank god I looked into that). Thanks for the information though!

Hi all. I have a 19 litre tank (which I incorrectly labelled as 18 litres in a previous post), and was wanting to turn it into an invertebrate tank. Would it be large enough for one or two dwarf crayfish and some shrimp? or should I just stick with one or two dwarf crayfish? I've never kept...

Good Day all. I currently possess two tanks, one of which is fully cycled while the other has just begun the process. The 25L has finished its cycle, and now comes the time to stock it, while also planning what to do with the 18L. I was wondering what kinds of fish I could get in both? I...

Hi all, I'm Fry. I'm relatively new to fish keeping and possess three tanks which I hope to condense into one larger tank some day. Currently I only own shrimp which have a 10L tank to themselves. I also have 25L and 18L tanks, which currently have no inhabitants (but have been cycling for a...
