I've hatched some brine shrimp in a 250ml hatchery. The instructions said half a tea spoon but I miss read and put a tea spoon of eggs in. 24 hours have passed and I can see shrimp have hatched. But could more hatch in another 24 hours? Or once some hatch they all hatch? Just wondering if...

I know exact date/times cannot be given. But from the pictures could anyone have an educated guess on if she could give birth in the next few days or weeks. The last 7 days I've noticed she has got bigger, but last few days she's stayed the same.

I currently have a fluval u1 filter, just the sponge in. I've upgraded to a cannister filter from 'All Pond Solutions' I got the EF-150. Now do I just swap the filter and the old water will cycle it? Do I leave both filters in for now? Never swapped filters before & never had one with Bio-Balls...

I've been cycling a tank and done tests for last 5 days and everything is spot on. This was meant to be for guppy/molly fry. Anyway, I seen an ad for free apistogramma panduro, the main pair had babies and they couldn't look after them, so they needed to go or be flushed. I couldn't let this...

I bought a 2nd hand tank, came with gravel and then this black substrate. Was told it was for aquascaping & good for plants. Anyone know what this substrate is? Also should the water be that black when it's wet? Or does it need a good good clean?
