    Those are kribensis, possibly ‘rainbow kribensis’ (I’ve just heard that name floating around and they look a little more rainbow-y than regular kribs). They’re a bit like apistos - dwarf cichlids, mildly aggressive, shouldn’t really be kept with shrimp, although it’s possible. Maybe do some research into them. Good luck!

    The 2 main suppliers I have heard of is AQUA HUNA and FLIP AQUATICS. I had a quick look but neither had both the snails and shrimp in stock at the moment, each had one of them at the moment! I am not USA based so don't have experience of either but I haven't heard anything bad about either though! Simon

    DI is barely better, but not worth it

    No, (I think) he meant it's just RO, not usually called RO DI because they do the same thing pretty much. From what I (a person who has never used an RO filter) can tell at least.

    I thought that ro di is the best way to go?

    If u have NO3 = 10ppm with shrimp only + plants + no ferts, then u have water pollution from overfeeding because otherwise the plants would have consumed all the nitrates. I suggest u add sponge filter or other filter with media so the bacteria can consume the wastes at a higher level than currently.

    You don't need the DI part The way to get TDS down is with water change and not adding extra stuff, like your pH lowering chemical, which will fight the KH in the SS GH/KH. U should keep the crystals and neos in separate tanks if possible, but if keeping in both, then I would mix the SS GH and GH/KH until the final KH value is 1-2.

    The three places I’ve heard a lot of good things about (I’m in aus, so don’t have any experience purchasing from these stores, but sounds like they’re all top notch) are in this order: L.R.Bretz Aquatics (top quality shrimp breeder) Flip Aquatics (lots of shrimp, lots of grades, and accompanying aquatic creatures) Aquatic Arts (nano stuff and inverts, and more rare stuff) Hope that helps.

    My brother bought these and I noticed they look like they might have amonia problems so I'm onto the water changes but wanna know what are these fish!? are they some sort of emperor tetra or rasbora ?any help is much appreciated.

    oh wow, okay I'll give it a try! I'll actually go to the local fish store and ask for it (or get new plants). Amazon delivery is very slow and it won't arrive until next week. Thank you so much for the help!
