Originally Posted by sepulatian No, the SG has been at 0.009 for 3 days now. Should I bring the SG up over the next week then use Cupramine or should I just leave him in hypo? I was planning on using cupramine next when the 3 weeks in hypo was over, but if u think it's best to start ASAP...

On sunday i bought two blood red shrimps and one of them has a brown spot on his tail and another one near his head.What should i do and how long should i keep them in my Q.T.

Is it true that u should keep only 1 anenome per tank? If so, why?

thanks, i don't have it or it's many, many babies anymore, coz this was last yr b4 my entire DT crashed and i lost everything with it, but now at least I know that if I ever find another 1 in my tank again 2 get rid of it. I've heard alot of bad things about mantis shrimps, but I didn't think...

thanks

I'm sorry 4 ur losses. I agree, some kind of contaminant from the carpet cleaning/steaming, or something sprayed nearby (hairspray, deoderant, etc). Change the water and run some carbon in the filter. :)

whenever ur shrimp molts, do u need to remove the shell? If it stays in the water and no1 eats it, will it decay and foul the water (cause ammonia)?

this is normal, last yr when I had a cleaner shrimp b4 my DT crashed and i lost everything (including my sanity) my cleaner shrimps (i had 2) used 2 on very rare occasions clean each other, sometimes they'd clean the corals, once 1 of them was trying 2 clean the anenome until he realized he was...

Take care and stay safe.

ok,so I guess i better switch brands, thanks 4 that

I think vendors should put up information regarding each specie they r selling, stating what they eat, what not to 'mix' it with, ideal temp, SG, what size tank is appropriate, etc. Basically as much info as they can, that way they can not b held responsible if some1 bought, lets say, a cleaner...

Last yr when I first set up my DT b4 it crashed I found this weird looking thing in my aquarium. I don't have any pictures of it so I will try n describe it as best as i can...... It's black, has many legs(kind of like a centipede), has claws at the front like a shrimp, an elongated body(like a...

QUOTE=sepulatian;2607219]Is this Qt at normal salinity? If so then start copper treatment. It will kill any worms or parasites on the fish. Use Cupramine and a salifert copper testing kit. These worms have been around for far too long now. Read Beth's instructions for Cupramine. No, the SG has...

you could change the carbon or if your not using any at the moment, add carbon to ur filter for afew days.

Does anybody know y my skimmer keeps on skimming out clean water every time I do a water change. The only way I can stop it from doing this is by either blocking off the air intake tube for a couple of days, or by switching the skimmer off for a day or 2 then putting it back on again. Does any1...
