    Lettuce for catching pond snails in an aquarium... oops... catching more Armano Shrimp than snails

    Well this tank is only a few weeks old ,our other tank sprung a leak and we had to change. Wondering due to swapping everything over and renewing stuff it stifled the the little darlings food chain somewhat. We have java fern also getting a little bit paranoid about our shrimp .:(
