create your own brand and your own soil, ill be the marketing department, and we can use arrow aquarium shop as our base

Thanks guys for the great advices. I adjusted the HOB to have less current, added a sponge filter and put some coral stones into the filter yesterday. pH increased to 6.0 today and the cherry shrimps are out to play and eat!! Hooray!

So what do u guys think?
Is it ok? I read that the JBL Manado itself that keep water hardness..

JBL Manado if can provide high GH, maybe can be use for Sulawesi shrimps but need to test the TDS first.
if all seem all right for your shrimps then let it be. Only when you notice they dying or not breeding then make changes.

Oh no... saw 1 planaria in my shrimp tank. Was about to catch it and it disappeared! One dead shrimp.

can't be just one , many more underneath unless you just got it from elsewhere.

Managed to catch it and dumped it into my other tank (with fish) as snack.
Didn't introduce anything new to the shrimp tank, and only saw it today. Where do they come from?

They normally come from hidden in plants , livestock or in the water(packing bag) that you brought either in eggs or junior worm format.
It would not appear out of nowhere in your tank, there must be a host that bring them in.
FYI, planaria head is triangle. -> http://www.google.com.my/search?q=planaria...iw=1280&bih=852

i started selling small portion of various shrimp foods/supplement, see if you interested.

Trying to be fsmiliar with shrimps..so i started with cheap cherry. What shrimps eat normally? Is it a must to buy shrimps food or gv them eat normalmfish pallets? What vege could I feed them? Pse advise

Hi, I am feeding my RCS Hikari Crab Cuisine & Algae Wafer. I read that they do eat normal fish pellets as well, but I guess it has to be the sinking type. I tried giving them boiled baby carrots (sliced thin) but they didn't seem to be interested.

On another note, my shrimp tank's NO2 reading went from 0ppm to 0.25ppm lately. Am wondering whether this may be caused by any plants? (I have Java fern, Anubias, windelov and xmas moss). I don't overfeed, so don't think it's from there. Or could it be ammonia spike from my Amazonia soil?
