Marine Warehouse

actually i did last time and its something in there water and not mine they are dead before i bring them to my tank and then when i released them they died because as ive said they were already dead

Dang did they at least give you your money back or credit or something ?

nope

just my luck to i buy a dead fish and just happens to be living at the moment

Lol yea I'm not adding any livestock for a while although I have some plans this summer for some stuff

well my two tanks are done for now and im gonna see if i can get a bowfront now or i might just get a freshwater tank like a 10 gallon one any suggestions

Depends on what you want to do with it fresh or salt or etc

freshwater i wanta change it up a bit

Fresh is nice if you need help let me know small tanks such as a ten can be a balancing act between live stock and parameters. Planted opens a whole new playing field it's a challenge but if you can get it to balance its awesome

ok i sure will im gonna try a ten gallon

Yea I may have some spare stuff around ill have to go through and see what I have I may have some airstone strips and a heater and a few filters if you're not going shrimp I've got a rocket filter

whats the difference between adding a shrimp and adding all shrimp

Shrimp are awesome at maintaining an aquarium especially if you have plants. Some shrimp are cheaper (ghosts) and others are vibrant. They have minimal impact on levels as well

so in your opinion should i go all shrimp on this tank because its only 10 gallons

It depends on what you want to do. Shrimp are less bio load compared to the same number of fish. I've lost count of how many I have in my ten gallon PFR setup I know there's at least 25 in there right now. I for sure wouldn't be able to have say 25 mollies in a ten gallon. Shrimp if you're looking to breed and maintain a population are also very restricted as to what kind of fish you can place with them. They also like densely planted tanks and cholla wood.

The big down side of shrimp is initial stock costs some types of fresh water shrimp can cost upwards of $15-20 each but there are many cheaper shrimp such as cherries, ghost and painted fires if you can find them cheap. There's also some socialized accessories such as filter intake guards as well

ok well my 10 gallon freshwater needs a remodel for sure so i might do that

What type of filter are you using ?

I guess actually what are you using for lights, filtration, substrate, etc...

i have no lighting have small pebbles and i have a penguin 150

Ich Warehouse or at least thats what I call it , bought fish from them three times and all three times I had a complete tank crash and lost all my fish , there are tanks of ich covered tetra almost every time I walk in there , I go there to buy plants and hardware and thats it I no longer buy there live stock

you claimed the thread back NoOoOo logan you and I should start a new thread You start it i'll follow, maybe our conversation will help others as well

+1 on the plants although the last batch of 'java' moss I got wasn't java moss it was pretty much a wad of slime as soon as it got ferted

just did its under tank showcase
