aluminum tank is far more expensive compare to steel tank..

hi guys,
still need help solving the dragonfly nymph problem. how to remove/kill them before they kill all my cherries. any pointers?

i think any fish that will eat them will probably eat the shrimps too rite?


Thanks!

Is it safe for all kinds of fishes & shrimps?

dragonfly nymph.. manually with tweezer.. hunt that bugger down

excel in the wrong dosage kills shrimps

search & destroy... ur hand is a lethal weapon.
seldom those small fish will eat nymph, except if you were talking about those monster fish.

nymph!! they ate my guppies in my water fountain before!! horrible creatures u may have to turn your tank upside down to catch it hey're fast and small...

others quite safe as i observed but not excel, i use 'em to kill planaria n hydra

tried tweezers, but i'm too slow for them.
managed to scoop one out with a cut mineral water bottle when it came out in the open today.

i guess there are at least 2 more hiding among the plants...kinda tempted to put 2 dwarf cichlids in. but they'll probably eat up my shrimps too..

how many shrimps u have? try saving them 1st...

Hi Otobot,

I suggest you manually remove it with hand or tweezer. There won't be many in your tank and they won't spread. So it will be much easier for you to control compared to snails.

It is not wise to use biological control as those that kill the nymph will most probably kill all your cherry shrimps.

Hope that will help.

I have 10 adult cherries. 2 were previously berried up till last week. I have spotted a few baby cherries before.

Thanks guys! i think i'll probably try n manually catch the dragonfly nymph as i see them.

any other shrimp friendly fish to recommend besides oto?

badis badis... galaxy rasbora, but dunno wtf name it had change to oredi.

wow.. the thread is slow today.. is everybody sleeping?

icic ... n i think it looks more presentable as well

ok lets say i buy one alunium tank rm199. what else must i get ah? One average manual regulator how much? need to budget ...

Normal regulator is around MYR80

You basically still need :-
1) 2 check valve ( 1 way valve)
2) tube
3) Bubble Counter
4) CO2 diffuser

Cheers

hehe bought my tank ady. but is the bubble counter really neccesary? i bought but didnt use ... looks ugly

missing out on the valve. btw, how to determine whether my tank is up for a refill?

Hi Otobot,
Any small fish such as green neon tetra and pygmy rasbora are suitable companions of small shrimps.
I, myself, have cardinal tetra co-exist peacefully with green shrimps and yamato shrimps.

PS: Green neon tetra's max size is 1", cardinal tetra's is 2"

hey guys,

i just purchase a bag a ADA Amazonia II Regular and done some jar test with it. the water color change to milky brown straight after i put in. it is normal?

Hi ppl, im new to this, just started yesterday to get a small tank (W13.7" x L8" x H9") with light and filter, i started the tank with 8 guppy,6 tetra,3 bumble bee,2 cory and 2 Tropical Hornwort for plant, my question is here, is there anything else i need to add into the tank like co2 for plant(how do i do it),soil to grow other plant(where can i get the soil),how to change the water(i heard i must not change the whole tank water as this will make the fish stress), i hope my first tank of fish can survive with such environment....lol
