I gave up on Shrimps.

Will wait for my new 3 more piece of drift wood to settle in adding it to a total of 6 pieces of drift wood, then might re-consider.

looking for new light tubes then can plant more hc/hairgrass.
but now theres this white slimy/hairy thingy starts to appear all over.

what is it? how can i remove it? currently just siphon it out during water change but it keep coming back.

as for the light, the closest lfs here doesnt have higher watt light thats compatible to mine, this is what i have
11w aqua zonic (black)
8w (no brand, white)

i will go and check at east aqua ikano, close to where i work. i have no idea what these light tubes are called, anyone can tell me so its easier to find/ask the shop.

i had 2 cherry shrimp, one dead straightaway become meal to the fish. few days after that, the other one dead. should i remove or just leave it there for the fish?
i have one badis badis, was doing fine for a week, now look very sick and about to die also i assume.. sad.gif
now just left with 2 pink fish, forgot the name.

the sad tank. 23 liter, 11w+8w light 10hours, 1 co2 tablet daily, temp 26, 2 x 30% water change weekly, no other chemicals except antichlorine.

IMO I think your light is not bright enough. And second your plants are too few and sparse, my suggestion buy a bunch and let it grow and trim. IMO it's best to cover at least 30-40 percent of your tank.

My plants must have gotten used to the water condition and it's growing new branches.

And my plants are surviving on Co2 tablets only.

At the moment, I throw in once a day and on my light for 6-8 hours a day evening till morning about 1-2am.

FYI I don't change the water so often because mine is 2 1/2 feet tank.

I change about 20 days once.

Last time I have small tank, every week I change once.

I gave up on shrimp for now.
Very hard to rear with fishes.
shrimps are so defenseless.

Initially mine survived for couple of weeks (3 WEEKS!).

Fishes didn't bother them but once some female got pregnant and I notice red tetras are damn
aggressive, very hard for them to survive in my tank.

i saw the fishes tear it apart like how we eat butter prawn, lulz.

what brand is your co2 tablets? does it dissolve completely? mine left some white powder

michanz
the light tube emits purple light instead of white, is that normal/okay to use?

Ocean Free. Maybe you shouldn't try to change water too frequent.

Get more plants!

and Oh yeah try this.

Get liquid fertilizer.

Even my lily pads which I gave up, has sprung 2 new little branch.

geez, why you all kids always think posts are like challenging what you do? laugh.gif

honestly I don't think it's cheap because going by the volume you bought, should have been cheaper.

honestly LFS don't keep that many shrimps. what you bought surpasses normal LFS.

BTW it's kinda weird, you have 3 feet tanks, only shrimps? no fishes?

lol uncle unknown warrior.

not sure about his consequences but what I liked about his thinking is that, 100 cardinals really is just 'normal' in a 3footer. let alone my 4footer. gasp.
So when people shudder at the numbers have to see la what are his needs and etc.
I've helped someone in Penang stock 500 cardinal tetras before for his 8feet iwagumi. Look okay nia . lol!

But youre right on one thing. 3footer and all only shrimps? weh.. need o? lol!

I'm trying to go against the rule book.

I'm struggling to balance out, planted tank and fishes.

I know fishes uproot plants and creates mess.

I won't go all out with difficult to maintain type of plants.

Right now, I've changed to all low maintenance plants, bought a bundle of mosses, tight them real tight to my smaller drift wood.

Because I see the rule of planted tanks is to keep fishes that doesn't mess your plants.

That's why most planted tank only house Shrimps or small fishes and even that is in small qty.

Sigh, I always like to go against the norm. doh.gif

What do you feed your mini puffer fish if that is no snail in your fish tank?

This is an interesting little fish.

I understand, as they mature, they will naturally get aggressive even unprovoked.

I was thinking whether to buy today at east aqua.

in the end decided not to, sked my fish all die. laugh.gif
