Beside MTS, Ramshorn , nerite , you all can try Rabbit snails (sulawesi snail), breed slow  one to two at a time,
so far they survive in my various tank range from ph6.4 to ph8.

need to test for the reaction using white vinegar (cuka). if it foams or fizzles, it can't be used. it will significantly alter the gh and kh of your tank parameters. from my experience, it'll be hard to get the ph lowered.

Rocks to Avoid include:
•Limestone
•Marble
•Geodes
•Dolomite
•Shells or crushed coral

Safer Rocks Include:
•Granite
•Quartz
•Slate
•Lava Rock
•Onyx
•Sandstone (should always test before using)

congrats regarding your shrimp!

actually i dont know how fast is fast because i just caught interest on planted tanks a month ago.. i bought a carpet moss few weeks ago.. apparently it's christmas moss but im not sure cause it's not growing out enough yet to identify..

I also have hornwort for now.. to avoid algae bloom..

i've heard that Java moss if the fastest in low - mid lighting..
but im not sure if mine is considered as low/high/mid lighting given my aquarium size being approx 6uk gallon, 7us gallon, 35x35x25cm & lights 13watt (the kind with 1 blue bulb & white bulb) as per photo posted above..
*
thanks biggrin.gif
mine is 4 us gall. my lamp 11 watt. | i change from 5 watt before this coz 5 watt is too dark for me.

As for moss, you wont be needed Co2 but to make it grow faster, u really need it.
Else you also can opt for liquid carbon much cheaper for a starter.
And you also might need fan to control the temp around 27*C
*
agree. esp bout the temp. ive make some mistake before when my temp bout 30C. then my moss start to turn to dark-brown. lucky i can save most of them. they start to green now

Crush your fish food into powder form like. Throw bunch of them near to the fry area, they can survive,  don't worry, I don't bother to move them into another tank also.

rite now i move them to the another tank. coz my tank got several shrimp too. i afraid they will eat it
i try ur method, ya they eat it.

thanks for the replies & info smile.gif

is liquid carbon safe for shrimps, otto & small fishes like neons, danios & cherry barbs?
my aquarium temp is always between 24.5 - 26.5C

all i can tell is tht hornwort is growing quite fast
the unknown carpet moss that seller sold to me grew about 3mm over the course of approx 3 weeks
dont know if it's considered as fast/slow..

btw, is my lighting considered as low/mid/high lighting?
*
i dont know about how to check if the light is low/mid/high but i think

low < 1w /gall
mid >1w <2w /gall
high > 2w / gall

maybe others can give the accurate one include if having plant canopy etc2
