Hi all, done setting up the tank with spiky moss... I want to get 2 lamp-eyes fishes to help cycle the tank and as companion to my future CRS. Any comments? Will the lamp-eyes eat the CRS?
just want to check is lapis sand ok for shrimp tank? please advice
It's ok but if you are keeping CRS, then it's better to have the water to be in acidic range of ard 6-7 according to what I understand. Thus, that's why I'm using GEX soil to keep the ph in this range. If you are using other substrate, you may have to lower ph by other means such as using a commercial ph minus solution which is not recomended.
An update, just put in 13 briggittae instead of lamp eyes and thrown in 1 ada bacter ball. Hope no dead bodies tomorrow morning..

why drink and drive when one can smoke and fly.
just curious, i saw that you are using a bottle of the nutrafin CYCLE.
does it really help? used other brands but find that it does not do alot.
care to share if it does work for you?
thanks
Actually, hard to tell if it works. All i know is alot of people feedback it does speed up tank cycling.
an update... saw only 9 brigittae in my tank and could not find any dead bodies (4) in the tank. Was very surprised and then I saw 2 dried fish on my tableBut other 2 still MIA. I think probably the cleaner removed the other 2 bodies when cleaning my table...
Growing old with this forum.. :)
clown killifish are great jumpers as well..

update: Added 1 otto and 1 bee shrimp (test water) and 1 silent (aircon type) fan. The fan is new design and I find it very creative... the unit hang at the side while the extension into the tank. See photo for the update.
