Yes be wary of ghost shrimps, they do attack your other shrimps, especially when your shrimps are vulnerable.

Hi fb88
That would be very kind of you. May I know if your shrimps are climatize to polar regions or are they tropical creatures like us?![]()
I don't want to waste your shrimps if they are climatized coz my tank is without chiller.
Where and when can I pick some up?
Thanks



My shrimps are living without chiller. Around 27-28 degrees. I live in pasir ris. Free most nights around 8pm. Just discuss a time to meet beforehand![]()




Hi Kermit,
Your tank is looking good! So nice to have someone offer you shrimps. Never knew ghost shrimp so naughty but only suggested to test water since they are sold as fish food - not to add with other precious shrimp
Can't wait to see them swimming in your tank. Do post pictures!




It could be that your lighting is insufficient. Are you able to move your tank near a window? No direct sunlight but some brightness to help the plants along.




Was going to suggest you post a question but saw you have done thatHope they have a better suggestion than mine below.
Did your IQ5 come with lighting? Why not clip it and add on to see any changes.
Oh, I forgot to mention, I did not get the IQ5 in the end. I bought a 10" glass cube with separate filter/ skeemer and the 11w PL light.
Does your water surface seem to have a layer of 'oil'? They told me the filter with skeemer will remove that layer.




oh.. okI like the 10" glass cube... and might add on once I know the shrimps in the IQ3 has babies
The water surface doesn't have a film as it overflows into the grooves and down the filter. If you have a skimmer, it should do the same... unless the top of the skimmer is not sitting near the surface for the water to "overflow" into it. Since I cannot see a picture of the surface of your tank, I can only assume![]()
It is... Just wanted to know if this is standard amongst planted tanks. My water surface seems ok, clear and all...
Just fed up to see my plants turned brown and leaves turned translucent



Unfortunately mornings are a no go for me. I don't get weekends off



No problem. I hope they do well in your tank!
Got myself a bag of ten cherry reds, came back put them in and we saw babies!!!!



Wow! gratz! Hope you covered the inlet overflow with some netting! Don't want those babies to be sucked in
