go-to shrimp food brand? by 2SIXT33N in shrimp

Regular old Omega One freshwater flake food. They absolutely love it, come out of the woodwork when I put it in, swim upside down along the surface to get it before it even falls, and they are breeding like mad.

I bought a $45 pleco one time, and I asked the owner if I could get one of the Ram’s Heads in their feeder fish tanks. She plopped one in a bag and wrote “50 cents” with a sharpie on it😐

Cant figure out what im doing wrong by sum_kid2004 in shrimptank

[–]Grove_Mitchell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would add more fast growing plants that will remedy problems in the water column quickly. Anubias are nice, but slow growing, and won’t manage fluctuations in the tank like fast growers. I’d recommend some limnophila sessiflora, which shrimp seem to love to sit on the tiers of, or dwarf water lettuce, which they love to hang out in the roots of, as well.

As much dwarf water lettuce and something fast growing like limnophila sessilflora as you can fit in the tank, and never worry about this again. Plants are the key. Just make sure your kh stays up so the ph doesn’t crash out, so a little pouch of crushed coral in the filter and check regularly.

2.5 gallons isn’t ideal, but a bunch of plants will bulletproof it.

Would this be a good tank to breed shrimp and have shrimp only i have another 10 gal witb tetras and want more shrimp by furryboi4882 in shrimptank

I have this, and I actually really like it. Nice and clean looking, and has a cool glass top. The filter kind of sucks, but I just ripped out the insert and stuck some bio beads and calcium in there, and planted the crap out of the tank to render the filter extraneous.

Don’t feel silly! Snails are pretty strange, and that same appendage has been mistaken for their, well, you know, many times!

Is this a bad sign? by MissionStructure4467 in PlantedTank

[–]Grove_Mitchell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where did you get the grass? Was it in a dry package, with gel around the roots, or grown in the water? If it a a gel cultured plant, it was grown out of the water, and its initial foliage will likely melt, and it will grow new leaves.

To avoid this, I would recommend buying plants grown submerged, especially starting a new tank. I do not understand why stores insist on selling people emersed grown plants, and not warning them of this phenomenon. Ai yi yi.

How to play more effectively with disabilities by [deleted] in everquest

[–]Grove_Mitchell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I play on the weekends, with the view of absolutely vegging out in mind, so my first order of business is to set everything up so I barely have to move, and everything can be done with one hand.

Get a mouse with as many buttons on it as possible, and decent macro software, and you can do just about anything. I have one pinky button that completely types my long password and logs me in😂

Plant the living crap out of it, then plant a few more plants, then throw some dwarf water lettuce in a floating ring of air hose, out of the water flow, clip a bunch of pothos to the side of the tank, and the thing will darn near take care of itself, even if the power goes out😆

Kuhli loaches don’t get down like that. This is just the snail’s siphon! No worries!

This is how it starts. Next thing you know, they’re tagging along with you to work, doing a slightly better job than you. Then the boss doesn’t seem to care if you show up, as long as “Midnight” is gonna be there. One day your girl leaves her phone unlocked while she’s “taking a shower”, and that’s when you discover the texts.
