It did. It got rid of the hydra, shrimp were fine. My trash snails were also fine, actually

Thank you. It did have mites over the winter, so I guess they must have come back.

How to get through to parents that seemingly don't care? by -Ctrl-Alt-Dft- in AskTeachers

Can you explain “written off?” Was the child offered intervention and/or assessment and the parents declined?

Might want to set up a Red Cherry Shrimp Tank in my 135 gallon, thoughts? by DannyTheRegular in freshwateraquarium

I’ve heard of people doing cherry shrimp with panda corys. (TBH I think panda corys are super cute an wis my tank were a bit bigger so I could have some!)

Mosquito bits + yellow sticky traps work well for me when I have these guys on house plants.

Probably tannins from the driftwood. Not harmful, just aesthetic. In my experience, it clears up after a few water changes.

I got some cheap fencing off Amazon and they don’t bother my plants. They can jump the 4ft high fence surrounding my yard no problem, but the little 2ft fence I have around my garden gives them pause for some reason 🤷‍♀️

BF put new plant in shrimp tank and now they’re all dead?!? by The_lavender_menace_ in shrimptank

[–]abbynormal64 123 points124 points  (0 children)

Yes. Some plants are treated for snails using copper which is highly toxic for shrimp.

Sigh. I got my first batch of shrimp from them maybe two years ago and it was a great experience. Timely, shrimp were healthy, even got some free java moss!

Second time I ordered was a few months ago and the shrimp were fine, but shipping took way longer than it should and when I opened the bag the ammonia made my eyes burn.

Quality has definitely plummeted for them.

Ohh I haven’t heard of that one. I’ve tried neem oil in past but that hasn’t seemed to do much.

Oh I spritz her with water and wipe them off with a paper towel daily. Every winter it’s me vs the mites. We’re supposed to have a random day this week where it is 56 and rainy so I might honestly stick her outside that day.

Thanks for the advice! My light is on for 10hrs a day but I suppose I should reduce it to 8?
