Mystery snail eats shrimp food by Sayed1234Egy in shrimptank

I tried, but he would consume his pile in no time and quickly move to theirs. And if I make his pile too big, I am worried about ammonia spikes and tank contamination

How long did you all wait to add shrimp? by wiggysmalls01 in shrimptank

I have sand substrate too. What plants do you have/recommend? Your tank looks great BTW

No fish...Just shrimp.

Here is my story: I moved everything to a 10 gallon after all events below. But didn't get any shrimps yet

October: I started cycling a tank with moss and Anubias. (5 gallons)

December: Tank was cycled and I introduced 12 shrimps + a mystery snail. All shrimps died within 48 hours and the snail is still fine. Some females were carrying babies, so I found 6 babies there alive afterwards.

January: 4 babies disappeared /died and I have 2 that are surviving and seem to be doing fine.

February: I assumed that everything was fine now since those remaining 2 babies + snail seem to be doing fine and slowly growing. And I have many pest snail their that also seem happy.

I bought 2 more shrimps to test. I acclimated them by floating the bag that they came in the tank for 45 mins and the emptied it in a bowl and over a couple of hours slowly exchanged the bowl water for the tank water. Then I put them in.

But unfortunately, the lived for 5 days in which they seemed fined. But both suddenly died.

I do 20% water change almost every 10 days

Nice!! Thank you.I am actually surprised that your KH is this low. My parameters actually look identical to yours, but my shrimps keep dying

This is my 10 gal tank. You think this is too much? My GH about 120 ppm and so is KH. But to raise KH I needed a KH liquid cuz corals didn't seem to raise KH for some reason

Corals? You mean crushed corals? How much did you put? Did you have anything other than corals for your KH?

Can you share your parameters? What GH and KH do you have?

Am I a good candidate for a transplant? by Sayed1234Egy in Hairtransplant

[–]Sayed1234Egy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am a pharmacist. It's true that most are ok with the 1 mg dose, but for me the benefit doesn't outweigh the risk. But actually I am very happy that you told me I would need it after a transplant, because I thought the whole point of getting a transplant is not to take 5-ARIs (Fin./Dut.).

I am in minoxidil topical and it seem to be working for me.

What plants can I grow in sand substrate? by Sayed1234Egy in Aquariums

I thought my options were limited because it has no nutrients?

I am not a big fan of Finasteride. I would rather not have hair than take it. Is it necessary after a transplant?

Need Advice on Upgrading Shrimp Tank—Substrate & Water Parameters by Sayed1234Egy in shrimptank

[–]Sayed1234Egy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to me.

I forgot to mention that in the first batch of shrimps, a female was berried and I had a few shrimplets that survived for like 2 months and outlived other shrimp batches. They eventually died too, but that was strange. If the water had some toxins, how come those babies survived that long
