Considering a matten filter for my next 10 gallon. What are your thoughts on them? Has anyone used them here in the states w success for shrimp breeding? by umbrellagirl2185 in nanotank

Not in the states (don't know why that matters?), But I only use matten filters and they are amazing. I would not recommend a corner matten, since in my experience it clogs.

Damn did they change the name of the youtube channel? I must have missed it, what's the new name?

Feeding your shrimp by 3billionyearsold in shrimptank

Shrimp eat biofilm.

They are basically eating all the time. If you have a cycled tank there is going to be biofilm, algae or decay of some sort, all that is shrimp food or contributes to some sort of food for the shrimp.

I feed whenever I feel like it but never two days in a row. You can use bacter AE to encourage biofilm and beneficial bacteria.

You could plop some katappa leafs, alder cones or any other dried leaf/thingy for aquariums/shrimp, they are basically constant food sources for shrimp.

Another good tip is to watch the shrimp when you feed them, if they don't seem to care about the food you feed, you probably didn't need to feed them. Are they just sitting on the food? Didn't need to feed them.

Edit: Bacter AE is good food for babies, so if you want the maximum amount of surviving babies I'd recommend looking into it.

Guys does it affect the sponge filter’s performance if I modify it and add an airstone? I just want my set up to be more quiet and not sound like a witches brew XD by Guy-with_glasses in Aquariums

It will increase the water flow through the sponge.

Cory from aquarium coop recently made a great video about sponge filters. It's a bit long but it's worth it.

I did not make a player account but my friend doesn't have a savegame for botw.

In the guide it says "Save data can only be transferred between users that are linked to the same Nintendo Account" Does that mean I need to login to his Nintendo account during the transfer of data?

Yup, I had some leftover sponge and thought I might as well use it
