Re: Cracked Tank

Empty time! I'd wouldn't fill it up or trust it really.

Either you'll have to get it repaired or braced.

Re: no heater/pump for 2 hours

They'll be OK, although I'd be tempted to do a partial water change afterwards.

What I don't understand is why power needs to be off for two hours. Our tenants have never had the electricity turned off during an annual EPC test.

Re: In The Shallows

The older female endlers seem to be dwindling a bit now, and I think I’ve lost one of my older harlequins, which have got to be 7+ years old now. I pulled out a skeleton last night thinking it was the harlequin but after having a count of endlers, I’m down to 3 females with two looking a bit worse ...

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs

What you have to remember is that fish in the wild never know when the next meal is coming, so they grab what they can when it's available. Aquarium kept fish will always have the same behaviour, so care must given to the amounts they receive. Excess food = Means excess waste, nutrients causes unwan...

Re: Red cherry shrimp eggs

If the amount poop has increased I'd suggest maybe your feeding them a little much. They do eat everything in just over a minute, and I already worry about the 2 smaller guys that hang around the back when I feed them. Maybe it was just too much of the brine shrimp 🤔 the only visible waste I’ve hoo...
