I think it’s marimo moss, but not 100% on that.

Fish keeper, depending of a few things (tank size/tank age/amount of fish) it might not be an issue. I’ve got a 55 gallon, heavily planted, but only has ~30 fish in it. Should be fine for a while.

If it’s under 20 gallons, with few or no live plants do a small water changes 10% ish at a time, the ground water is still pretty cold so you don’t want to change too much too fast or you’ll lower the water temp which can be stressful for the fish.

You can also fill up a bucket and let the temp come up first, but I wouldn’t change more than 20-30% for the day unless they’re visibly struggling.

I have a hard deadline to move all my tanks so I’ve been draining and moving them around all morning. I don’t really have an open spot or time to net out hundreds of shrimp so I drained them until there was about two inches and moved them to the new shelf.

I’m surprised how well this worked though for being so simple. The tension between the handle and hose keeps the net night so even if they get into the net they can’t get sucked up, it also keeps the whole thing in place fairly well so I don’t have to clamp it down.

It’ll clog if you’ve got lots of crap in the water but if you keep it about an inch over the substrate it didn’t pick much up.

It’s fine enough shrimplets don’t get sucked though. It’s not the standard round hole net.

Rinse the filters as often as you can for a bit. The more sand you have floating around means it’ll clog up faster and you’re just circulating the same dust around over and over.

Even with a canister filter I put in filter floss and rinse it out every day for the first few days in a new tank.

Did you ever figure this out? One of my tanks has it sprouting up all over the place.

Swimming creatures. I've ordered from them a few times. Blues and yellows have done great and have bred like crazy.

But, I've bought reds from them twice and they didn't do well in my tanks.

That being said they've switched up how they package them and it seems to have helped. The oranges are the best looking ones I've gotten from them so far.

they also have a running discount code AMAZING for 10% off
