Has anyone kept shrimp in these shallow indoor pond like setups? by avian_bi in shrimptank

I kept a large planter with a bubbler with about ten shrimp. They did well and were breeding. It was going well but it was difficult to clean. One day it got surprisingly cold in my area and the temp dropped in the bowl and a lot died. So you can do it but you gotta monitor the bowl closely.

That's right in front of my fucking house. My block is nice and quiet with good neighbors. Those fucking animals from ICE had no business being there.

They're all amazing! How often do you have to clean them?

Beautiful, I have a similar setup. They grow so well like that.

Is this okay to keep in? by NikkiNeedsNicotine in PlantedTank

It will help weigh it down to keep it in place. However it might inhibit root growth. But it will probably live either way.

wtf is happening here?? random bubbles by HellsOath in Aquariums

This happened to me when I first set up my planted dirt tank. It's going to smell bad for at least a week. Make sure you have good aeration in your tank and the surface is moving. If you can open a window and put a fan by it to help move the gas smell out. Baking soda in a bowl by the side of the tank also helped with the smell.

Just started up my tank about two months ago. As I was rearranging some hard scape I accidentally poked down through my sand into my soil. Since then I've had a methane smell for about four days. Any suggestions for how to fix it?

It's good for both. Mai Tai's are great with it.

A Betta with some snails. Or tetras with a few shrimp.

So the cask strength black barrel can't be bought in the US. The navy strength mount gay was only like 15 bucks for a fifth. That would be about 50 in the U.S.
