One thing about cherry shrimp is they will breed. Its pretty neat, but it does get worrying when you start with only 6 and then suddenly there's 50 of them a year down the line, then they all die out from inbreeding awhile later.

The best local aquarium is closing down, with the owner deciding that 20 years is enough fishy business.

In any case that doesnt mean you should load it up right away with all the fish it can support at maximum. Start slow and easy. monitor the levels.

That seems like it's way, way worse, unless there's some agitation going on.

If you're cleaning it in the tank then... everything that was in the filter is dumped into the water for awhile til it just gets sucked back into the filter and ? :|

duckweed will cut down on light and soak up nutrients and you'll have a ton of duckweed.

Depends on how crowded it is and how active your betta likes to be. I kept a solo betta with some snails and shrimp in a tank that size for awhile and it seems like a decent size.

Why not driftwood then? Probably will need to soak/boil for awhile for a cichlid tank but that seems like a nice lightweight alternative and isnt chunks of plastic.

Yeah, that top picture especially looks like the only thing holding it together is a prayer and the new(?) interior silicone. the wall to wall silicone is in really bad shape. In the bottom picture the left side of the joins are dark and clear, which is properly sealed but they're already breaking up on the right side. Any stuff which is whitish is not watertight at all.

even then it'll just go dormant. I had an old driftwood I removed and stored for a few years, dry. When I put it back in a tank it was sprouting moss again.

I loved my shrimp. Just how industriously all their little limbs pick over everything is great to watch. Its like an adorable little bit of industrial machinery.

Feels like I've had it forever... it probably has! but I'm packing up my nano tank to sell, along with most of my aquarium gear. Then I'll just be left with jars of anubias and ferns, no fishies. -.- Ugh, theres not enough hours in a day for me to care for all my dumb hobbies though!

Hadlock posted:How many generations of shrimp do you need before inbreeding becomes a problem. Clearly they don't have the same issues a humans do my founding population of 6 red cherry shrimp started a colony that survived for 3-4 years with some really deformed shrimp at the end then the population dramatically crashed to near nothing.

adding little 'nyam' noises to fish eating elevates things like 400%

Sockser posted:Got some plant fertilizer for my tank (Seachem Flourish) and noticed it has trace amounts of copper. Given that my tank(s) have shrimp and snails, that sketches me out. Googling says that it should be "fine" but I'd really rather not chance it. Is there a goon-recommended plant fertilizer? I used that for ages with my shrimp and snails, its fine.
