Caps typically means that your shouting. If people get annoyed, nobody may answer your questions if you keep using caps. So if your feel like using caps, then people may feel like not answering your questions. Your choice.

doresy i would read this carefully! typing in caps has been seen as shouting, since the inception of the net.

I second what others have said here. But just as an aside, I would probably avoid saying "heavily planted" if your plants are artificial. True heavily planted tanks containing real plants respond very differently to tank stimuli, and you could potentially get bad advice from a poster as they might assume that you have real plants. Just my two cents,

best,

We need to know pH of the tank water, how long it has been set up, and if you need to buy the shrimp from your lfs r if ordering them online would be ok . And stop using caps, it can be considered as rude .

Ok, thanks for the heads up on the heavily planted thing although I thought I had covered it by stating artificial

If you don't know someone and they start shouting at the room, you would consider that person rude. It's allot different that going to your friend's place and shouting, becuase you both know each other.

A forum is a gathering place where people come together who have the same hobbies. It's much like going to a public gathering or club. Many new people enter the room that do not know you, since it's usually best to give a good impression of yourself.

PS
My little shrimp are the ultimate escape artists. I lost 3 through my COVERED tank. Until I taped up all the holes....
BTW, Never quite understood why people get so ticked off by the use of caps.

Are you going to go in and shout at them?
But still need to know pH of the tank water and how long it has been set up .
