I bought 10 cardinal and 10 black tetras on my 15 days old 63 gallon aquarium.. i bouth them after 10 days so 3 days ago.. and all my 10 cardinal diead in the span of 3 days why? The black ones are still alive and looks healthy.. together with my two dwarf gourami.. i just hope they whont die soon too?
I have a 29 gallon tank with 3 yellow lab cichlids, 2 mollies, and a very tiny female guppy. They have been together for over 3 months and they get along very well.
I have glofish danios in my paludarium water feature. They act like sharks pulling crickets down deep when they fall in. Also ate a dead gecko to a skeleton.
I may have stumbled on the wrong video, but I learned a lot! I’m using ghost shrimp as feeders for an adolescent female crayfish… I just released about 20 into the freshwater tank and am awaiting the carnage.
I have a thriving snail and shrimp tank that all started with one bladder snail from an order of duck weed. It quickly began multiplying. When my beta fish died, I decided to add seven cherry shrimp. In under two years, there are now over 100 snails and at least 50 shrimp. The two species get along really well. They are both very hardy, easy to care for, and clean their own tank. I only top off the water when needed, and clean the filter once in a while. I think the ecosystem is aided by the duck weed. It’s a 10-gallon vertical tank, and I am going to move some of them over to a nano tank or two. They are so fun to watch. I especially enjoy seeing the snails rising or descending, and how the shrimp check the snail shells for food.
I can't find a single video that matches my situation, not a single one. I work with ghost shrimp shrimplets. We don't breed them. We keep them inside grave liners (we call them vats at work). With pvc on top that runs along the walls of the building that we keep the vats in. Each vat has adjustable valves for water pressure. Then, a single pvc pipe inside the vats for water circulation. The vats are plain with no rocks or anything fancy, just a single air stone in the vats. Now that you have an understanding of the setup. Every morning, we have deaths, so I was asked ChatGPT if it could explain to me what could be causing the deaths. One of the answers were that it may be because the water pressure is too high, creating too much water movement, stressing the shrimplets, causing them to die. This morning, I told my boss (my boss has been doing this type of work since he was 14 years old) That we may have the water pressure too high. He said that we don't want it low because the water needs to circulate. I tried to explain to him that there have been times when we loss water pressure, not completely but quite a bit from the typical amount of water pressure that we keep it at. I've noticed that the water doesn't look muggy and is still clear with very few amount of deaths or none at all. My boss says every time he sees that happen when we lose water pressure, the water is always muggy looking and more deaths than usual. Well, obviously, that's because it was probably too low, but I kept that to myself. He is the boss who says he has been doing this since he was 14. But I guess it doesn't truly matter if they are dying by morning time for as long as we siphon out the dead ones and they aren't dying by the time they reach their destination
I’ve heard if you have a tank full of shrimp, 100rds, then feed daily. Otherwise if you have very few shrimp in your tank feed maybe once a week. Over feeding will kill your shrimp! 👍🏻
Informative video. I now have these in my aquarium. I recently got some live aquarium plants. They must have hitched a ride on the plants. I like them though so it’s a nice surprise. Thanks for the information. You Snailed it! 🐌
Hiya🙋♀️I'm new to owning fish since March,I'm still learning about it all but the other week I realised I had a bladder snail crawling around the top🙈I thought it was a clump of bloodworms but was mortified when it felt all slimy😜I've now put it in a jar with holes until I get a tank for it🙈Fascinating to watch😀
Personally tank mates only matter if you don't have enough hiding places. I have ghost shrimp in with a kribensis, 14 zebra danios, 3 powder blue gouramis, an 6 green corys. The shrimp hide in the plants cave an rocks an they still reproduce. Now I'm not saying everyone should do it but experiment with your own set ups. I have multiple tanks set up with fish that "shouldn't" be with each other but get along great. Along with tanks that have so many fish in it that i get told that shouldn't be possible an that they should all be dead. Which is a 65 with a bit over 120 fish not including snails. So just experiment with it yourself.
Bumblebee Cichlids are so FUN! Watch out for when they get older the males get so aggressive. This fish is considered a scale stripper in the wild and I had a mix African + Aggressive New World Cichlids in a 150 . Everything got along and it all had a pecking order until he grew up and "stripped the scales" killing off so many of my fish. The male, when mad or feeling aggressive would loose all the yellow in him and changed to almost a solid black.
