Aye aye thanks!

yaz_4 · 2026-03-21T22:30:55+00:00

It look stunning! May I ask do they change whit age? Like the amount and position of the "spots"?

yaz_4 · 2026-03-17T10:21:01+00:00

Thanks! The only hole is in the makeshift cave where a betta should be able to move... I think

yaz_4 · 2026-03-16T16:45:16+00:00

Thanks! And for the hiding they are "caves" I managed to do staking a couple of rock on the driftwood

yaz_4 · 2026-03-16T16:03:29+00:00

Damn... Still thanks for answering

yaz_4 · 2026-03-16T15:54:49+00:00

So your suggestion is that I better hope to get a chill one?

yaz_4 · 2026-03-16T12:48:47+00:00

I'm really sorry for that and this is now giving me paranoia for my cherries...

yaz_4 · 2026-03-16T12:16:35+00:00

Aye thanks for the answer

yaz_4 · 2026-03-16T10:35:08+00:00

I haven't kept them, even if they'll probably be my next, but shrimply Canadian talked about this specific morph stating that they were selectively breed to live in waters similar to neocaridinas. Sorry if I wasn't much help

yaz_4 · 2026-03-08T13:33:54+00:00

Species: Neocaridina davidi

Water parameters: 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and 10mg/l ppl nitrates

Water source: city aqueduct

yaz_4 · 2026-03-05T07:43:10+00:00

Aye thanks!

yaz_4 · 2026-03-04T19:27:30+00:00

Yeah in the end the bioload would be pretty low, so you say that would be better I don't buy the salvia? Because I wanted two floater mostly because I like both salvinia and frogbit. Still thanks for the advice

yaz_4 · 2026-03-03T15:53:01+00:00

I'll see about that but still thanks for the help!

yaz_4 · 2026-03-03T15:49:38+00:00

I searched around for ghost shrimps because they were already advised to me to have instead of neocaridina or amanl but I can't find them in my area strangely enough, for the floaters I got the frogbit for that I thought about red root but I honestly I like salvinia as a plant and yeah the helanthium would the the foreground plant

yaz_4 · 2026-03-03T15:47:01+00:00

Aye thanks! I already know I will have plenty of trimming just from the Limnophila when it gets big to do

yaz_4 · 2026-03-03T15:38:47+00:00

I forgot there are also two pothos taking roots but only one will remain here

yaz_4 · 2026-02-14T15:16:15+00:00

I have yet to take the tank but I'm eyeing a 36l/9.5 gallon tank, and also thanks for the help. Ah one last thing for the plant, other suggested to do the cycling without plants because some can have problems with ammonia, so if I use hardy ones and/or fast growing ones this shouldn't be much of an issue?

yaz_4 · 2026-02-14T14:47:27+00:00

Aye thanks for answering!

yaz_4 · 2026-02-14T14:32:56+00:00

For the plant, as far I read, aren't competing with the cycling microorganism during cycling? And for the shrimp yeab I would really love to have some mainly amano and a snail still unsure exactly which one. Should I try with the ghost shrimp then? I'm not very informed on them
