Dear SKFA,

Moderators on SKFA are allocated a larger limit for Attachments and Private Messages (PM) in order to assist the forum members. However, when that moderator retired and went back to a normal Member account their limits for Attachments and Private Messages would revert to the normal membership limits. Thereby crippling the ex-moderators ability to continue contributing to the forum with new attachments or PMs. The only option previously was to delete attachments from past posts, so that space is made available to upload new attachments.

It is not in the interest of SKFA to have the content and posts from these great contributors to be deleted if the ex-moderator wanted to continue to contribute to the forum as a normal member.

The site Administrator and the current SKFA Mods have come to an agreement to honour past contributors, like ex-moderators, who have made a significant contribution to this forum by creating a special account called "Hall of Fame".

 @ineke becomes our first Hall of Fame (HOF) inductee!

Ineke's account will be given a unique ability to post additional Attachments and PMs above the normal Member account limits.

Hall of Fame account holders will be donated by the "HOF" acronym below their name and avatar.

Hopefully this encourages ex-SKFA moderators to continue to be valuable Members in this community without hampering their ability to upload attachments or PMs.

 

Limits to normal Member and Platinum Member accounts remain unchanged.

 

Please note: that nomination into the Hall of Fame account is at the discretion of the SKFA site Admin and Mods only. Self nominations will not be accepted.

Thank you so much. This is really awesome especially under the circumstances. I intend to be more active on the forum again so being able to use pictures makes it even more enticing to put in an appearance. 

Thanks again

      @fred-koi, great photos. But sorry to hear you have issues with your shrimp. What shrimp is this?  It's showing signs of a bacterial infection. Are these brownish spots circled in red normally there?   How long have you had these shrimp? Bought recently? What is your water parameters like? Temperature too, please. Bacteria do better in warmer water, so make sure your tank is cooled.   Separate any shrimp that are showing signs like this shrimp - inflamed mandibles, and brown spots. If you are brave enough to want to further treat these shrimp, have a look at the treatments for "Rust Disease" in the Disease and Diagnosis thread. No guarantee we will save this shrimp, but you can give it a go.

      Hello, I have been experiencing a mortality problem for several months. I realize that there is a problem on the mandibles the shrimp is weak eats little then the shrimp dies. Do you have an idea ? THANK YOU

      Thank you both for your help, my newer tank that doesn’t have anything does have stratum and is heavily planted (some carpet plants like Monte Carlo, anubis, java ferns), parameters are good the only issue is the temp change.  My other tank where they are housed currently has sand, river stone pebbles, and a bunch of assorted plants (java moss, cabomba, ludwigs etc)  I haven’t thought of doing tiger shrimps but I may go into that route instead if this doesn’t work for crystals. Thank you guys again!

      This is 'INSANE' and what happens when you get carried away in this hobby! PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR  PSYCHIATRIST FIRST! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKH1ABcN6-g I would not want his electricity or water bills, let alone all the cost of the equipment.

      Putting the crystal shrimp in with neocaridina (cherr) means the setup will benefit one type more than the other and it looks like the tank is better suited to neocaridina. Neocaridina are more robust anyway, caridina are a lot more sensitive and therefore harder to keep. The parameters quoted are definitely off for caridina and better suited to the neocariidina! I'm sure that that is the reason for the deaths. You shouldn't need a heater if the house sits arount 74F (and it is unlikely to get so cold that it would kill your shrimp, especially with the other heat sources in the room) and the crystals would be ok at that sort of temperature, though the 80F is getting a bit warm for them, whereas neocaridina would be less affected by that higher temperature. Of course you also need to bear in mind how hot it will get during a really hot spell as even if they are doing well normally, if you even get a few days of over 80+ (in the aquarium though, not necessarily room temperature) that could wipe them out. You could try tiger shrimps as they are almost as tough and robust as cherry shrimps and require similar water parameters, and give a bit of variety? I'm not sure that I would try the caridina in your position due to the difficulty of keeping them and the extra costs involved, when it probably won't work?
