Cheers. ;D The sand is kept clean by billions of mts (ok not quite billions...yet  ), the shrimp and I also turkey baster up nerite poo every couple of days or so. |

Yes she did but I don't have her or many (if any) of the babies due to the summer heatwave and filter issues. I decided to cover the intake with sponge to protect the little ones but the flow was reduced to the point where they were able to climb into the outlet...where they got sucked up or trapped by the impellor. I also lost the tiger female mum, dad and all but one adult female cherry (who got into the impellor so many times I moved her to another tank). I removed the pre-filter because the remaining (pictured) tiger shrimplets are now too big to squeeze through the slots but now two are showing signs of developing eggs *eek*.....I need a sponge filter.  |

The British weather's getting stranger by the year... not complaining about the sunshine though hehe ;D... I managed to get to Bethnal Green a couple of months back to get some shrimps but they didn't have any Tigers at that time  Bought some cherries there.... now I have 7 cherries from different sources -- all turned out to be female so no babies for me. You keep your apple snails with Tiger babies? At what pH? Mr Pink's shell looks pretty healthy ;D |

Mr Pink lived in my snail tank with a PH of around 7.2 + up until last week. His shell will erode over time in the tiger tank if he lives that long (he's 2 yrs old), probably ruining his lovely spire but it's safer for him to live with the shrimp than the ramshorns. The PH in the tiger tank is about 7 and the snails in there have erosion.
I wish I had a more effective PH tester but I don't have the spare cash for it at the mo.
I moved the cherry shrimp into the higher PH tank and now she's got a bright yellow saddle....she wasn't in the other tank. Shame I don't have any males.
I'll have to nip down to the lfs one of these days.

Do ramshorns harm apple snails?? Hope you have better luck than me finding a male cherry  |

My blue ramshorns are causing problems with my brigs trapdoors....either they gnawed the holes and continued to eat the exposed flesh or my brigs have a trapdoor malfunction which the rams were taking advantage of.
I haven't seen this behaviour with my reds.
