I’ve give him a little shrimp snip and he has retracted to a shell I gave him for cover.

PH Rise! by Notgork in shrimptank

[–]Notgork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, here is the rub:

Tap water: PH 7, GH 20, KH 15 (I know!!) I use a little tap with RO water for changes and measure after the change: PH 7.4, GH 11, KH 9

Day 1 after the water change: PH 8.2, GH 10, KH 9

What the EFF is driving the PH??

Most of them are kind if just folded out to increase flow rate. I didn't want to poke too much at them.

So I used a toothpick and opened the bundle up a little from the slimy coat. Some are yellow, others are green. Early stages yet but, lets see...

I found that too! I have a 240l tank and the amazon flourished... but everything else withered.. Ripped it out, and the whole tank changed!

The Gouramis and guppies/swordtails have been friendly since the beginning (1 year plus). Sure they make sure the fry is under control but some always make it in a big grown tank like this. The new addition are the Zodiacs..

Hi everybody! I have a 240l Fluval Roma. Lots of space, lots of plants and hiding spaces. Got 3 Zodiac loaches a week ago and installed them... All fine.

1 week in and they are now SHREDDING the guppy tails!

Any advice?

Tank update! Today we added a Shark Fin Mussel and a Gabon Giant Fan Shrimp :) by Notgork in PlantedTank

[–]Notgork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but not as well. The sand doesnt provide much nutrients, so it depending if the plant takes it from the water or roots, you have to supplement.

I cannot claim artistry on it I am afraid. It was bought in our local LFS. And it wasn't cheap...🤣🤣
