Very interesting Frank, and not totally shocking. Folks around here (Blue Ridge, some hardness to the water from deep aquifers) have no problems breeding the...
2 of my Caridina Japonica shrimp are loaded with eggs after adding some slate to my tank. I am thinking that the increase in the hardness of the water has...
Caridina Japonica (Yamato shrimp) is a marsh shrimp naturally occuring in brackish environment. It has been stated that they require a brackish environment to...
Marge, Maybe you can get some shrimps in Malaysia before you go back to Canada as they are very cheap here. Some LFS here sell it for just RM 0.60 (US 0.15). I...
Thanks for the reply, the Slate I put in my tank has caused the hardness of the water to increase. I to was under the impression it would not before I added...
Looking for advice. I'm having problems with the water in my tank. It's been fully set up, just like it is, since January (when I accidentally caused...
Di, two gallons per day is not going to change the in-tank parameters very much. you are going to need to make several massive water changes...perhaps 25% at a...
<<Do you have any feel for the break points on the parameters? TDS, pH, KH, GH? Or, from another angle, what is your water without the supplement?>> Without...
Robert Rickets had mentioned that he had a lot of success with Bumble Bee shrimp with his pH being around 7.4 and moderatly hard water. After failing on...
Congratulations Ghazanfar! So apparently the limiting factors for maintaining in the DC Metro area are the hardness of water, either or likely both KH and GH....
Thanks for the info, Frank. I stock marine mix, so I can set some tests with RO/DI and get some numbers to report back on the list. Most RO is no softer than...
Robert, I am now using Lugols Solution (weak Weingart variation) as my iodine source (1 gram elemental iodine, 2 grams potassium iodide mixed in 100 ml...
Hi Sam Penang would be on my list cos my parents are there and yes, I am from there too. Where would you recommend that I go? Buying them is one thing, ...

Ok, so I laid down inside my aquarium cabinet with a flashlight to assess the amount of silt UNDER the undergravel filter...and it's swarming with baby dwarf...
One of the reasons I stopped using this filter. I have an article on my web site about the harm these filters can cause in aquariums with breeding fish. Wilma...
... assess the amount of silt UNDER the undergravel filter...and it's swarming with baby dwarf crawdads and...yes, even guppy fry. How did they get down...
For all the concerns with undergravel filters, there is this one thread that comes up once in a while: baby fish are found when the aquarist decides...
Other than breaking down the entire thing...any ideas on how to raise the plate? I have been trying to think of a way to make an exit for the little guys,...
Marge, Well, i never deal with any LFS regarding this matter before, so sorry i can't help. But i believe bigger LFS like CTY and Kian Weng should be able to...
If you take the hardware off the UGF uprise tube and put some really good bait food in it - do you think the baby Crayfish would be drawn to the scent? dd...
I have to agree with Wilma that conventional undergravel filtration, likely with a bit too large sized gravel (allowing fertile eggs and tiny fry to pass...
My tank experiments change so often I don't think I'd leave an UGF (Under Gravel FIlter) in place for more than 6 months to a year. I did find that Banana...
Good grief! I set every tank as though it were to remain for at least ten years without major change. Some experiments do not last so long, maybe only 3-5...
