Question: Are any of you using Red Cherry Shrimp with plecs? (Which plecs? Please describe how the tank is set up. Thanks..)

Sorry mate but I think you ended up in a wrong thread :lol: This is about dosing Excel and similar into planted shrimp tanks not about Plecos and Endlers :lol:
Best is to ...

Hi Mustafa :-)

*Over*dosing ferts can and does lead to organic buildup over the long run, too.

Over-dosing is not necessary and should be avoided especially in tanks which aren't heavily planted and in non-CO2 tanks with low-lights (1-2 wpg).
In CO2 injected tanks with High-lights plant's ...

There is one thing I have noticed on the Aquatic Net :)
It is hard to find people which are concerned about the whole aquatic system rather than only be focused on plants (planted forums), or only on fish (fish forums), or only on shrimps (shrimp forums) not giving much chance to understanding the ...

it is toxic for shrimps. so never ever use cryptos in shrimp tanks.

:) Thanks for the warning mate, but my experience is telling me different :D

I have tested one European product called Easy Carbo (same as Excel) in different planted tanks with CRS, RCS, and C. multidentata and all shrimps react the same.
They stop eating and stay on one spot without moving, usually grouping together. Some shrimps also died instantly! In my experience ...

Hallo everyone :-) it's been a while since my last posting.
My LFS got one Macrobrachium together with the J. multidentata (japonica) shipment, so I got it for free (nice one).
I tried to find it in the wirbellose http://www.wirbellose.de/arten.html but no luck. I searched on petshrimp but no luck ...

Hi Neonshrimp :D
thanks for your comments.
I just noticed that we entered petshrimp at the same time (approx) and look at you now :P a Shrimp Master and I am still an undeveloped larva :lol: maybe I need kind of brackish condition :lol:

I am getting ready for setting up six, 10 gallon, tanks for ...

After some time of stress, having females releasing their eggs after just 2 days, my shrimp population seem to be growing now.

After researching alot about this crayfish, that I believed was the Procambarus fallax, I found these facts ...

Often, females will drop their first eggs but will be successful on their second try. You'll have zillions of babies soon enough!
