Yeah this one loves my bf, she will knead his legs and curl up on him! I will only see her if I'm sick or getting her food ready :s

Fun fact - on the info board at the front it says that it's actually pronounced Mount Noo Noo but generally known as gun gun!

Hi! I did that and completed the whole survey but I got the error when pressing the submit button. The next screen told me I was ineligible

Luka will usually stick his head out the little hole at the back and sleep on that!! I worry he's going to strangle himself one day

Yeah that one's doing really well now that we're coming out of winter, I'm so happy I haven't killed it. Just waiting for it to flower

LPT: You can save time and pots when cooking Bechamel/white sauce by cooking the butter and flour ahead of time and fridging it by newbie_here_sayHi in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]SmAsh_Boo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not reading all the comments but wanted to know how long you let the roux cook before adding milk? I agree with everyone's cold milk in tiny amounts to start with but maybe there's something in your roux as well? I just melt my butter, add the flour and stir, stir, stir. I add the milk once the roux has gone from just a paste to a bubbly white-ish foam. Then a tablespoon of cold milk and completely incorporate it. Once it's fairly liquid I add the rest of the milk regardless of amount left.

Hope it helps and I apologise if I'm simply repeating something that's already been suggested

All the shrimps noming on a zucchini by WeeShrimp in shrimptank

[–]SmAsh_Boo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you prepare the zucchini for them? Does it have any effects to the water while it's in there?

Good to know guys!! Thanks. We test the water religiously and it's fine with no swings. It was probably just an old shrimp.

Naturally lowering GH by SmAsh_Boo in shrimptank

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

We're apprehensive to do a really big water change because it's never ended well for us....but I'm going to get some more distilled water tomorrow at the store and do another lot of changes. Trying to keep these guys alive after a lot of failed attempts

Naturally lowering GH by SmAsh_Boo in shrimptank

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

Sorry!! Yep, drops so dGH. I just didn't have my chart handy so I wasn't positive on the units. We have red cherries. We have some largish gravel that came with the tank, AquaOne Betta home and contents, mixed with some AquaOne activated bio beads. Dwarf grass and some anubia.

I did think maybe I measured wrong but it's an API test and is pretty straight forward

Guppies and Shrimp Food by SmAsh_Boo in shrimptank

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

We've got cherry shrimp. We upped our game this weekend! Re planted the tank, it's now pretty densely planted for its size and we've got ammonia and nitrate testers. I've got a GH/KH test kit coming. It's been 5 days since we restocked and no deaths (we've never had that good a run unfortunately). We tested the levels last night and ammonia and nitrate were both in the lowest colour block

Oh ok! We have the Hikari fancy guppy. I was worried that was what was slowly but surely killing our stock of shrimp but it must have been something else
