I saw this on the aquaponics list that I am on, and thought that people on the FreshwaterShrimp list might be interested. If anyone is interested, I'll pass...
I use oak, maple, and magnolia leaves for many fish, shrimp, and salamander species. i figure it does pretty much the same things as commercial blackwater...
I bought some berried Ghost Shrimp last weekend. The experienced kid netting them for me gave me the one odd tiny fish that may have come in the Shrimp...
... Lots of things. You don't mention how big the tank is? In a small tank virtually anything can cause that. Have you added any stones/ornaments into the...
