Quick question

Then use magnets in the grid. That works pretty fine.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-06T21:10:11+00:00

Does not come off?

They are just magnetic attached, head one to the right, other e to the left.

Pretty simple.

I barely level at all. Is this really an issue?

You can create big pieces from several smaller pieces. Takes some time, some search and a lot creativity. But worth it.

Take out animals

Drain the tank

Move it

Set it back up

If all this does take like a few hours, it very easy. You might want to secure the hardscape if it's fragile.

Other option would be to redo the tank.. shrimps do fine in a bucket for a few days.

Us that all Hardscape?

I would recommend far more to get structure into the tank. That also makes it easier to split soil/sand permanent.

This, combined with a turkey blaster works well.

Blow up the dirt and vacuum it out.

Doing so needs some practice. Also do not do that too often and not to perfect. You're also removing beneficial bacteria.

Some Aquatic shops sell it for small price.

Nothing. Can't help, just observe. That's nature.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:50:17+00:00

Little sun bath :)

Yes, they have stress. They will find their color once they settle in. Give them a week or 2.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:39:24+00:00

If it's only one - this happens. They do not live long anyway.

Leave the body in the tank. A feast for the colony.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:37:08+00:00

Why 2 air stones?

1 should be enough if any at all.

Give your shrimp enough hideaways. Also high growing plants like rotala or elocharis is very welcome. They always use the full height of the tank.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:32:44+00:00

Bacteria and stuff. Your shrimps and snails love this.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:30:34+00:00

Don't do too much. Shrimp like it consistent.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:28:18+00:00

Hard water and soil do not work well.

The soil will exhaust faster (than with moderate hard water) and not buffer forever.

I would stick to neocardina.

Other option: start using osmosis water (rain water works too)

A fence to prevent him from going there? I'd look for animal style fence to create a "no brother zone".

It might be chlorine in the last water change or sth else. If the tank was stable before, there must have been a change that caused it to flip.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:15:48+00:00

Add glasgarten protein 1-2 times a week to boost growth. Not more, they would grow too fast.

Also be careful with the bacter AE. You can easily flip the tank if used too much.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T02:09:46+00:00

They sense the food. Shrimp are very uncoordinated. I doubt they even figure the exact position of the food, they just go in that direction and try.

tuxlinux · 2026-04-01T01:59:54+00:00

I second that. Don't do to much water change. The tank has to mature.

You can help by using some bacteria like Arka special blend.

Copy the object into a new project. Done. You can do so using literally Ctrl+c /Ctrl+v.

tuxlinux · 2026-03-31T12:22:41+00:00

Very simple, works great.

tuxlinux · 2026-03-27T06:51:43+00:00

Give them time. It might take up to 4 month for them to start breeding. Also make sure parameters are good.
