With Waterhouse snails, DRN and CRS. I find that when I feed spirulina powder, the snails often feed off the surface and spread mucous around. The shrimp hang off the snails and the mucous to feed off the spirulina.

For my tanks that have stock in them I use a razor blade, you just have to be careful to not get any sand caught under it which will scratch the glass. For dry/uninhabited tanks I use a non-stick-safe kitchen cleaning sponge - the type with the knobbly green bits on one side and the sponge on the other. Takes a bit more arm work and I also spray the glass with hydrogen peroxide first, but there's nothing like that clean, algae free tank feeling!

API have a combined test kit for GH &KH and you can get a battery operated TDS meter from our sponsors - you don't need to buy the really expensive ones. Stability of your water is more important than actual values - cherries can do well in a wide range of parameters but don't like sudden changes so when you do water changes try to get the new water up to the value of the tank water. Good luck with your new hobby

@Disciple i'm putting the barry white on tonight!

@buck that isn't too long to wait. I had to wait for at 10 weeks before it happened and only happened on the weekend. Mate I hope they all start berrying up now. Good luck.

This is what I've been waiting for, first berried CRS must be 3 weeks now since I put them in so I guess they are happy! cheers mate I hope they breed true (TB) like the seller said they would:|

I've moved the blue bolts and tigers over now and they appear to be doing ok a few molts and no deaths. Now grow! Groowwwwwww my pretties!!!!!

You should make one of those magic kind of pens where you tip it up and the picture slightly changes, you could have the 2 pandas changing to king kongs or pintos. Oh lordy, that would have such a shrimp-geek limited market, haha! :)
