    I think Brent is concern about the berried females, and netting them might stress them to drop their eggs. You could try netting them, but don't lift them out of the water, instead, scoop up the net and some water with an old ice cream tub or similar plastic container. So the shrimp remain in water the whole time. Drip acclimatise for a couple of hours and introduce them to the new tank.

    Nothing wrong with bare bottom tanks as long as you can keep the parameters you want.

    OMG, that's kinde stupid to overlooked that :P. Thanks. Gonne read up to that topic, just throw this one away ;). Great topic. You see, I underestimate the knowledge on this forum again. When I post something like this on a Dutch forum, the response would be, hu what's Magnesium?? That's why I've posted this, before even searching this category... Sorry bout that, but thanks again for the great info, that was what I was looking for.

    Umm Dude ... That's been a sticky for more than 2 years now. You really need to find the right CaSO4. You need the heptahydrate version if possible, which a lot of brewers shops stock for making beer. These dissolve till almost no residue. If you cannot find the hetahydrate version then dihydrate might be ok too. The hepta or di - hydrate just means it has extra H2O molecules bonded to make it dissolve easier.
