  • Carbon Cherry Shrimp 1 - 3cm [NO SHIPPING TO WA OR TAS] - Nano Tanks Australia Aquarium Shop

    [ALWAYS IN STOCK] Carbon Cherry Shrimp 1-3cm [NO SHIPPING TO WA OR TAS]

    30 in stock

    Carbon Cherries comes from blue dream cherry shrimps.  These shrimps are more grey in appearance and undesirable when it comes to selective breeding Blue Dream Cherry Shrimps. However they are a strong line and they can give birth to very nice carbon colours with the odd blue cherry shrimps as well.  Cherry Shrimps RCS Neocaridina davidi is one of the most beautiful and sought after shrimp in the hobby today. They are easy to care for and easy to breed in a freshwater aquarium. These freshwater shrimps also are priced for the beginners market. Red Cherry Shrimp When you get our shrimps they are mostly a B or C class shrimp. This means that they will appear red, however their quality is not as consistent as the highest grade. We do have Bloody Mary and Fire Red Shrimps that come from time to time however these strains are hard to get and there are cost implication that come with them. If you are interested in these premium kinds of shrimps please message us. Blue Cherry Shrimp & Yellow Cherry Shrimp These colour variations are not as popular as red cherry's however they look amazing in their own way. Our particular variant of Blue Cherry Shrimp is called Blue Dreams.  Our Yellow Cherry Shrimps can look quite stunning against particular backgrounds. Living Conditions Dwarf Shrimps are adaptable to a wide variety of tank conditions and water parameters. They can withstand temperatures to around 15°C through to 30°C. However they do prefer to be around 22°C to 26°C. The shrimps are also tolerable in a wide array of pH. However they do better when the pH is around 6.5. RCS (Red Cherry Shrimp) is very tolerable to TDS levels however, we recommend you keep your TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) to around 200ppm max. The History of Shrimp in Australia Red Cherry's appeared in Australia in the early 2000s. The price at this time was quite high and the shrimps unfortunately were not very nicely coloured. The price of the shrimps, fortunately, tumbled quickly as people discovered that they were very easy to care for and breed readily. In 2014 they reached around 50 cents (!!) AUD and people started giving up on these shrimps just because they were easy to breed. When we opened in early 2014 we were fortunate to be the first shop to sell these shrimps in bulk and we were proud to be selling them as low as $1 per shrimp (at that time). However, as we fast forward to the present and beyond, the price of these shrimps has increased steadily due to the necessary upkeep requirements for ensuring healthy shrimps for sale. Now, these shrimps are more than a staple in the Aquarium hobby and a great addition to add for those starting out in shrimp keeping and Aquascaping in general. What fish live with red cherry shrimp? There are a lot of fish that live with red cherry shrimp. You should consider keeping it with anything that won’t target the shrimp. The Red Cherry Shrimps make an irresistible target to predation. To keep it safe and as a rule of thumb, don’t keep shrimps with Barbs, Bettas or anything that can predate it. Even if the fish do not eat the shrimp, having planted aquariums allow for a safe place so your cherries are happy. How long do red cherry shrimp live for? Cherry Shrimps live for around 1-2 years. However, remember that when they are born they are born live and you can observe little shrimps in the tank. Most stores will sell shrimps at around 3-6 months. At this stage it is the best and ideal time for them to go to their new homes. Do Cherry shrimps breed easily? Cherry Shrimps breed very easily and to make sure they do breed, I recommend that you put them in with Bristlenose algae eater. The combination of having a Bristlenose and Cherry Shrimps means that they will consistently breed. Only use a sponge filter and do not keep with other fish if you wish for success. If the tank is new and does not contain sufficient algae, algae wafers are fine to use as this is what baby shrimps eat. Females who are carrying the eggs will have a cluster of between 30 and 50 eggs at a time beneath their tails. Properly bred, 10 shrimps can turn into 1000 in 6 months! Do cherry shrimp need a filter? Cherry shrimps do need a filter to live. However, don’t go overboard on the filtration. A simple sponge filter or internal filter will be more than sufficient for it. Do cherry shrimp eat fish poop? Cherry Shrimps don’t generally eat fish poop, however they will eat Bristlenose poo readily. I believe it is due to the wood that Bristlenose Eat that the Red Cherry Shrimps like as well. I do recommend that you also do feed your Cherry Shrimps to make sure that they are always in great form. Do cherry shrimp jump out of tank? Cherry Shrimps do not necessarily jump out of a tank. However if you give them a way.. like a filter wool climbing area or anything rough they will wonder around. When this happens please make sure that you keep your lids secure. How do you know if cherry shrimp are happy? You know that your cherry shrimps are happy because they will swim around readily and scavenge food in your tank. However, once they become still or unresponsive you will have problems. One of the worst you can ever do with shrimps is when you spray an aerosol in the house. Such as a fly spray or anything that will kill bugs. If and when you do this death will be swift! Why do shrimp drop eggs? Sometimes when RCS molt they might drop their eggs. This means that the eggs were not viable or there is a problem with the water conditions. When this happen we recommend you ignore it at first. However, if this occurs frequently we recommend that you get your water tested to make sure that everything is ok. Are red cherry shrimp Hardy? Red Cherry Shrimps are hardy. They can be totally ignored and you don’t need to really worry about them. The old adage with shrimps is that the more you care for them the worst they can get. What plants do cherry shrimp like? Shrimps loves mosses or anything that they can hide and cover themselves in. If you are looking for things like Susswassertang or Java Moss these are the simplest and the best options. Can cherry shrimp live with bettas? Before we answer the question can Cherry Shrimps live with Bettas, we need to clarify the question further and make it more specific. One betta cannot live with one Cherry Shrimp. One will be food and one will be full. However, if you have 1 betta with say 12 shrimps and heaps of cover in the tank they they can live together with no issues. The reason for this is because it is hard for the betta to focus on the one shrimp. Can you eat red cherry shrimp? You can but why would you? A cherry shrimp is such a small size and you will need a lot of it to really make a meal out of them. If you intend to breed for your human consumption, I would strongly advise against it. We do not send shrimps to WA, TAS or NT

  • Drip acclimation shrimp kit - Nano Tanks Australia Aquarium Shop

    [ALWAYS IN STOCK] Drip acclimation shrimp kit

    What's in the kit? 1.5m of Airline 1x 25mm Airstone 1x Airline Suction 1x Steel Valve Why is Drip Acclimating shrimp before placing them in their new tank important? When adding new shrimp into your established already existing tank it is important to take the proper steps in introducing and acclimating them into their new home. The whole process is extremely stressful to the shrimp   The Drip acclimation system helps with this by getting your shrimp used to your aquarium water. Drip acclimation can help reduce shock, as the shock will affect shrimps and can lead to a shorter life expectancy, can cause death, causes stress, and chances of not eating. So acclimating shrimps by the drip method is essential to giving your shrimps a chance to survive in their new environment. Also, for any water changes in the future a drip system will assist, allowing a soft and gradual water change and not shocking the environment as especially Total Dissolved Salts (TDS) & PH must be kept within the correct water parameters and a sudden water change may disturb these parameters. Plan and prepare acclimation: Temperature Check When first arriving home check the temp in the bag vs the temperature in your tank. If it is not the same, float the shrimp in a bowl or something that won’t let water in. If using a regular bag from the fish store you can float that. Drip Acclimation Importance Once the temperature is close to the same then proceed to acclimating the shrimp. Acclimating shrimp should always be done with the drip method. The drip method can be done very simply with airline tubing, a control nozzle, a bucket/bowl, and a shrimp net. There are also products you can buy out there that are designed to do the drip method. I would stick with the basic airline tubing one we stated above. How To Drip Acclimate Empty your shrimp from their bag or bowl into the bucket, including the water from the bag. Now connect the control nozzle to one end of the tubing and place that end in your bucket and the other into your tank. Start a siphon by sucking on one end of the tubing (Make sure the control nozzle is fully open, otherwise your risk looking stupid and your shrimp may laugh at you). Watch the tubing as it fills with water, try not to get any in your mouth, and use your finger to cap the end of the tubing. Now lower the tubing into your bucket where the shrimp are and let go. Take a moment to make sure the siphon is working then adjust the nozzle to the desired flow, which I recommend to be 2-3 drops of water every second. You want to 4x the amount of water in the bucket. So 1/4 is your bag water from the LFS (Local Fish Store) and 3/4 is new water from your tank. The key after you have done the following steps is to now wait… The dreaded moment of nothingness… It should take roughly 1.5-2.5 hours for the shrimp to be ready. The drip method helps to allow the shrimp to adjust to the pH and other water parameters in your tank. This prevents them from being shocked by sudden changes and thus reduces stress… This reducing stress thing must be important, we have highlighted it several times! After You Drip Acclimate Now that your drip method is complete you should now net the shrimp into the aquarium. Leaving your tank light off for the first 24 hours (the lighting will add unneeded stress), also as much as you want to feed these little guys... don't, they will be fine for the first 24 hours, lastly NEVER PUT STORE WATER INTO YOUR TANK! Putting stored water in your tank can potentially allow all sorts of unwanted parasites, bacteria, and fungus into your tank and this is not good!!   Reference https://www.theshrimpfarm.com/posts/acclimating-shrimp/

  • For 5 Snails - Malaysian Trumpet Snails .5cm minimum size - Nano Tanks Australia Aquarium Shop

    [ALWAYS IN STOCK] For 5 Snails - Malaysian Trumpet Snails .5cm minimum size

    Malaysian Trumpet Snail Care Is Easy Trumpet Snail care can be broken down into a couple of areas: shell size, tank size, water parameters, diet, lifespan and reproduction. As a matter of fact, Malaysian Trumpet Snail Care is so easy, it is considered a good snail for beginners. Shell Size and Color: Malaysian Trumpet Snails have elongated shells that resemble a sugar cone. The shells appear to grow in rings as they swirl up from the apex. Shells can be solid or have patterns with colors ranging from brown, grey and creamy-white. Malaysian Trumpet Snails start life very small. Under the right conditions they can grow to about an inch in length from apex to aperture. At their widest point, their shells can be about the diameter of a pencil eraser. Malaysian Trumpet Snails need Calcium for healthy shell growth, so make sure calcium is available in their diets. Lifespan: In general, Malaysian Trumpet Snails live about one year. They can live longer under the right conditions and with a spot of luck. If a Malaysian Trumpet Snail dies above the substrate, it will be lying motionless on the bottom of the tank. If it dies while buried, it may not be noticed until the substrate is stirred up. While its good practice to remove dead inhabitants from tanks quickly to avoid water quality issues, some hobbyists choose to leave empty Malaysian Trumpet Snail shells in the tank, letting their minerals dissolve back into the aquarium water. Tank Size: One of the best things is that Malaysian Trumpet Snail care is easy and effortless. Trumpet Snails can live in small covered tanks like 5 or 10 gallon setups or larger tanks as well. Just keep in mind they are living organisms that produce waste and tax the bio-load capacity of their aquatic world. So be mindful of the tank’s limitations and avoid overstocking. Tank Hazards Filter Intakes: Sometime, strong power filter intakes can be hazardous or fatal to Malaysian Trumpet Snails. Their small shells can get sucked up by the water current and they can get caught in the slats. The pull of the water can be overpowering and they can die stuck to the intake. So many hobbyists chose to cover intakes with sponge pre-filters to help keep the snails safe. Tank Conditions For Trumpet Snails Water Parameters: Trumpet Snails seem to need little hands-on attention. As long as tank conditions are right, they will thrive in established tanks without much effort. While Malaysian Trumpet Snails can do well in a wide range of water parameters, it’s good to keep conditions in the freshwater community tank range: Aquarium pH: 7.0 – 7.5, with water on the hard sideWater Temperature: 70 – 78 Degrees FahrenheitLighting: Standard community tank lighting Malaysian Trumpet Snail care is similar to caring for other snails and shrimp. It’s important to test tank water often. Make sure Ammonia and Nitrite levels stay at 0 ppm, and control Nitrate levels as well as organic matter buildup with regular partial water changes. It’s also important that water be kept on the hard side as this is necessary for healthy shell growth. Be very careful when using plant fertilizers and medications as some of the ingredients may be harmful to Trumpet Snails. Most importantly, avoid copper, because even in small amounts, copper can be fatal. Malaysian Trumpet Snail Food: Habitat & Behavior Malaysian Trumpet Snails are ferocious eaters spending most of the day under the substrate. They dig through substrate in search of edible matter that has accumulated on the tank bottom. When the tank lights go off, Trumpets can be seen moving up from the substrate to scour other hard surfaces for food. The next day, the snails burrow back into the substrate to spend lighted hours buried and out of site. While digging, their long mouth appears, extending well beyond their shells resembling an elephant trunk. Food Sources: Malaysian Trumpet Snails like left-overs including uneaten fish food, fish flakes, bottom feeder tablets, pellets, and algae wafers. They also enjoy all sorts of debris, detritus and soft algae growing on hard surfaces. Malaysian Trumpet Snails enjoy tanks with lots of live plants. The live plants continuously shed edible material adding to the snails natural diet. Malaysian Trumpet Snails do not seem interested in eating live plants, just the debris. Reproduction: Malaysian Trumpet Snails reproduce very quickly and in large numbers, especially if food is abundant. Other things being equal, the more food there is, the more Malaysian Trumpet Snails will reproduce. One of the ways hobbyists control Malaysian Trumpet Snail populations is to limit food levels long term. Malaysian Trumpet Snail Tank Mates Malaysian Trumpet Snails are peaceful and should be in tanks with other non-aggressive tank mates. Trumpet Snails can do well with Mystery Snails, Nerite Snails, Red Ramshorn Snails, Gold Inca Snails, Ivory Snails and of course others of their kind. Malaysian Trumpet Snails can also blend well with filter feeding shrimp like Bamboo Shrimp and Vampire Shrimp, as well as algae eating shrimp such as Amano Shrimp, Ghost Shrimp, and Red Cherry Shrimp. Malaysian Trumpet Snails also can mix with Freshwater Clams under the right conditions. Calm community tank fish the likes of Cory Catfish and Otocinclus Catfish are also good tank mates for Malaysian Trumpet Snails. If there is any question regarding tank mates, check with the clerk at the store before purchasing. Reference:  https://www.aquariumcarebasics.com/freshwater-snails/malaysian-trumpet-snails/

    Cherry Shrimp Types & Price Cherry Shrimps RCS Neocaridina davidi is one of the most beautiful and sought after shrimp in the hobby today. They are easy to care for and easy to breed in a freshwater aquarium. These freshwater shrimps also are priced for the beginners market. Red Cherry Shrimp When you get our shrimps they are mostly a B or C class shrimp. This means that they will appear red, however their quality is not as consistent as the highest grade. We do have Bloody Mary and Fire Red Shrimps that come from time to time however these strains are hard to get and there are cost implication that come with them. If you are interested in these premium kinds of shrimps please message us. Blue Cherry Shrimp & Yellow Cherry Shrimp These colour variations are not as popular as red cherry's however they look amazing in their own way. Our particular variant of Blue Cherry Shrimp is called Blue Dreams.  Our Yellow Cherry Shrimps can look quite stunning against particular backgrounds. Living Conditions Dwarf Shrimps are adaptable to a wide variety of tank conditions and water parameters. They can withstand temperatures to around 15°C through to 30°C. However they do prefer to be around 22°C to 26°C. The shrimps are also tolerable in a wide array of pH. However they do better when the pH is around 6.5. RCS (Red Cherry Shrimp) is very tolerable to TDS levels however, we recommend you keep your TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) to around 200ppm max. The History of Shrimp in Australia Red Cherry's appeared in Australia in the early 2000s. The price at this time was quite high and the shrimps unfortunately were not very nicely coloured. The price of the shrimps, fortunately, tumbled quickly as people discovered that they were very easy to care for and breed readily. In 2014 they reached around 50 cents (!!) AUD and people started giving up on these shrimps just because they were easy to breed. When we opened in early 2014 we were fortunate to be the first shop to sell these shrimps in bulk and we were proud to be selling them as low as $1 per shrimp (at that time). However, as we fast forward to the present and beyond, the price of these shrimps has increased steadily due to the necessary upkeep requirements for ensuring healthy shrimps for sale. Now, these shrimps are more than a staple in the Aquarium hobby and a great addition to add for those starting out in shrimp keeping and Aquascaping in general. What fish live with red cherry shrimp? There are a lot of fish that live with red cherry shrimp. You should consider keeping it with anything that won’t target the shrimp. The Red Cherry Shrimps make an irresistible target to predation. To keep it safe and as a rule of thumb, don’t keep shrimps with Barbs, Bettas or anything that can predate it. Even if the fish do not eat the shrimp, having planted aquariums allow for a safe place so your cherries are happy. How long do red cherry shrimp live for? Cherry Shrimps live for around 1-2 years. However, remember that when they are born they are born live and you can observe little shrimps in the tank. Most stores will sell shrimps at around 3-6 months. At this stage it is the best and ideal time for them to go to their new homes. Do Cherry shrimps breed easily? Cherry Shrimps breed very easily and to make sure they do breed, I recommend that you put them in with Bristlenose algae eater. The combination of having a Bristlenose and Cherry Shrimps means that they will consistently breed. Only use a sponge filter and do not keep with other fish if you wish for success. If the tank is new and does not contain sufficient algae, algae wafers are fine to use as this is what baby shrimps eat. Females who are carrying the eggs will have a cluster of between 30 and 50 eggs at a time beneath their tails. Properly bred, 10 shrimps can turn into 1000 in 6 months! Do cherry shrimp need a filter? Cherry shrimps do need a filter to live. However, don’t go overboard on the filtration. A simple sponge filter or internal filter will be more than sufficient for it. Do cherry shrimp eat fish poop? Cherry Shrimps don’t generally eat fish poop, however they will eat Bristlenose poo readily. I believe it is due to the wood that Bristlenose Eat that the Red Cherry Shrimps like as well. I do recommend that you also do feed your Cherry Shrimps to make sure that they are always in great form. Do cherry shrimp jump out of tank? Cherry Shrimps do not necessarily jump out of a tank. However if you give them a way.. like a filter wool climbing area or anything rough they will wonder around. When this happens please make sure that you keep your lids secure. How do you know if cherry shrimp are happy? You know that your cherry shrimps are happy because they will swim around readily and scavenge food in your tank. However, once they become still or unresponsive you will have problems. One of the worst you can ever do with shrimps is when you spray an aerosol in the house. Such as a fly spray or anything that will kill bugs. If and when you do this death will be swift! Why do shrimp drop eggs? Sometimes when RCS molt they might drop their eggs. This means that the eggs were not viable or there is a problem with the water conditions. When this happen we recommend you ignore it at first. However, if this occurs frequently we recommend that you get your water tested to make sure that everything is ok. Are red cherry shrimp Hardy? Red Cherry Shrimps are hardy. They can be totally ignored and you don’t need to really worry about them. The old adage with shrimps is that the more you care for them the worst they can get. What plants do cherry shrimp like? Shrimps loves mosses or anything that they can hide and cover themselves in. If you are looking for things like Susswassertang or Java Moss these are the simplest and the best options. Can cherry shrimp live with bettas? Before we answer the question can Cherry Shrimps live with Bettas, we need to clarify the question further and make it more specific. One betta cannot live with one Cherry Shrimp. One will be food and one will be full. However, if you have 1 betta with say 12 shrimps and heaps of cover in the tank they they can live together with no issues. The reason for this is because it is hard for the betta to focus on the one shrimp. Can you eat red cherry shrimp? You can but why would you? A cherry shrimp is such a small size and you will need a lot of it to really make a meal out of them. If you intend to breed for your human consumption, I would strongly advise against it. We do not send shrimps to WA, TAS or NT

    Interesting Facts About The Ramshorn Snails Overview Ramshorn Snail is a prevalent aquarium species that plays a significant role in keeping your tank clean. They feed on decayed plants, fish waste, debris, algae buildup, and uneaten fish food. These aquatic snails sneak their way through tanks, hitch themselves and lay eggs to live plants. Depending on the objective, these aquarium tank mates can serve as a helpful cleaner or be a pest. Compared to other types of snail, Ramshorns require minimal snail care that making them one of the top species in the aquarium trade. As a result, these snails are available to most pet stores nowadays. Characteristics Ramshorn snails differ significantly in their appearance. Both its skin and shell can be different in colors, creating numerous color combinations. There are varieties such as common, pink, blue, and red ramshorn snails.  Their typical skin color is either red or black. Red snails have a vibrant color because of their red blood hemoglobins. On the other hand, Black snails have melanin pigment that the red ones don't possess. Unlike other freshwater snails, Ramshorns don't have an operculum. As a result, these snails are not able to breathe underwater and must breathe air instead. Ramshorn snails are hermaphrodites that can grow up to 1 inch as they get older. Their average life span is in between 1 to 3 years. Tank requirements Ramshorns are solitary and peaceful snails that can quickly adapt to various water conditions. These freshwater aquarium snails love planted tanks and enjoy stable water quality. However, they are mainly being targeted by aggressive fish, so keeping them with the peaceful ones is necessary. The ideal tank size should be at least a 5-gallon tank, but it is advisable to upgrade into a 10-gallon tank if you're planning to keep multiple snails. Water Parameters Ph Level: 7 - 8 Hardness (GH) : 7 - 15 Carbonate Hardness (KH):  8  Nitrate: Below 20 ppm Temperature: 70°F – 78°F Tankmates More extensive, aggressive fish are mainly targeting ramshorn snails. It ideal keep them with peaceful tankmates like shrimp, clams, friendly snails, gourami, danios, and teras. Note: Some aggressive snails like the Assassin snail love to devour pond snails, ramshorn snails, and Malaysian trumpet snails. Feeding Before anything else, it is vital to be sure that the food you will serve to your snails is copper-free as they could quickly die from it. By any chance, If you cannot avoid putting copper-contained products into your tank, it is highly recommended to transfer the snails to a different aquarium. Ramshorn snails are can easily be fed, and one of their favorites is algae. They are bound to search for algae all over the tank. They also feast on rotting plants, dead shrimp and fish, uneaten food like pellets and fish flakes. You can always give them some treats like algae wafers and vegetables like cauliflower, lettuce, cucumber, and squash. Breeding all you need to have is at least two of them because ramshorn snails are hermaphrodites, meaning they have sexual organs of both male and female. And because of that, they could quickly breed with any other snail. These snails lay multiple egg clusters all over the tank. Each group contains an average of 12 eggs. And after a few days, the baby snails will be visible from the inside.

    True Seiryu Stone for Aquascaping OVERVIEW: Seiryu stones are a type of sedimentary rock that originates from Japan. The rocks mainly consist of carbonated limestone and have layers of calcite veins, making it popularly known for being used in the Iwagumi style aquascape concept. These formations can be found all over mountainous regions, especially near streams where erosion naturally occurs on its banks; as well as rocky slopes, cliff sides, or seashores due to their composition mainly containing minerals such as calcium magnesium silicate and quartz sandstone The Seiryu Stone is also known as Thousand Layer Stones, found in China and the Middle East. So if you want to create an interesting landscape for your vivarium, this would be perfect! It's heavy, though, so it just might not work well if you live anywhere where there isn't much rain or humidity levels are high-- but then again, that does depend on what kind of plants/animals will inhabit said terrarium! Seiryu stones are often found in deep-blue and blackish-grey colours, depending on the acid treatment. This colour can be mistaken for a grey stone with a similar appearance due to its layers that reveal attractive jagged edges and calcite veins; this detail gives it an exciting look. HISTORY: Japanese seiryu stone is also known as dragon's stone, and its name refers to the Azure Dragon. This mythical constellation has blue scales that inspired the naming of this beautiful rock stone.  The beauty of these stones became popular in aquascaping when they were introduced by Takashi Amano, who created two styles: amano (nature) style, which imitates nature with natural materials like leaf litter or pebbles Iwagumi style is similar to bonsai design where there are three rocks placed on a sand bed - one large central stone surrounded by smaller ones- all arranged compositionally within an imaginary square tank environment. HABITAT: Japan has become a refuge for aquascaping stones as of late due to their immense popularity. Unfortunately, one such stone, Seiryu Stone, can only be found in Japan's dry valleys and is not legal to export any longer-the Japanese government wants you to keep it all the way! Sadly other rocks that look similar are more common outside of Japan, so if you're looking for true seiryu rock make sure your source comes from this beautiful place because when compared side by side, there is no comparison at all. Inspired by the Japanese culture and their love for beautiful stones, Seiryu Stone is a rare stone capturing people's hearts. COLOUR: Seiryu is a type of rock that has dark grey and light shades. There are various types of stones in this family, but the most common one is Seiryu Stone with its signature white veins running through it which can sometimes be found on other stones like Black Seiryu Stone or Ryouh Stones. The Seiryu stone ranges from deep-blue to a blackish-grey colour. This is dependent on the acid treatment, and it should not be confused with similar stones that have been treated in this way. When you come across one of these naturally occurring phenomena's don't miss out! ENVIRONMENTAL INFLUENCE: Seiryu Stone is a metamorphic rock that has been known to cause complications in aquariums due to its impact on pH balance. Containing both calcium and carbonate ions within it, Seiryu Stone leads the GH (Calcium/Magnesium concentration) and KH(Carbonate Concentration). Seiryu stones will only slightly raise your pH and gH.  If you're seeking to use these in an aquarium, be sure to keep this information in mind! Seiryu Stone is one of the most popular rocks in landscaping because it can be cost-efficient and aesthetically pleasing. However, there are some drawbacks to using this rock: if too much Seiryu stone is used, its PH levels will change affecting nearby plants that require low or soft water parameters. To protect these fragile ecosystems from Mini Landscapes' devastating effects on their inhabitants as well as live plants who need a certain type of soil pH level for survival, people have found ways to buffer it with substrates such as wood chips which has an acidifying effect when decaying; adding limestone gravels onto the ground near trees also helps by keeping them alive while still enjoying the beauty they provide. VIVARIUM: Seiryu Stone is a great way to create an aesthetically pleasing and sustainable aquatic habitat for your fish. It's best suited for lake cichlid tanks that require higher levels of hard water. Still, freshwater vivariums can also benefit from this stone if you supplement the tank with driftwood or substrate, which will buffer any negative effects on softer waters. ADVANTAGE OF USING SEIRYU STONES: For those who are looking for an even more interactive and educational pet rock, Seiryu Stone can be a great choice. This stone is porous so it makes the perfect place to anchor microorganisms like algae or bacteria which help make clean water for other creatures in your tank. Epiphytic plants also latch on very easily making this a unique way of not only having something pretty but functional at the same time! Seiryu Stones have some really cool features that many people might overlook when they're just browsing fish tanks online as one option among much options-the texture allows all sorts of different animals to attach themselves whether you want them there or not (like shrimp)! They'll provide food if you happen to decide against feeding anything else. Seiryu is a great choice for those who want their aquascape to last. The rocks are durable and won't break as easily which means the rock will stay intact through years of wear-and-tear, unlike other types of sedimentary stones that can wither away over time! Another reason we love using seiryu in our designs? They're tough enough to withstand years upon years' worth of use without breaking down like many surface layer or sandstone substrates do after prolonged exposure. That durability also makes them an excellent option if you need your design to be something that lasts more than just one season - they'll get better with age rather than worse so there's no worry about them disintegrating. DISADVANTAGE OF USING SEIRYU STONES: Seiryu Stone is known to have many benefits, but it also can cause problems if not handled right. If you are using Seiryu Stone and dealing with delicate livestock - make sure the PH levels of your water hardness level isn't too high or low for them! And keep in mind that because seiryu is so dense, stacking this material very high may be problematic due to its weight. CLEANING SEIRYU STONE: After acquiring the new Seiryu Stone, it should be scrubbed and rinsed with water. This will remove any residual dirt from its pores that would otherwise change the colour of your aquarium or other aquatic environments. Cleaning rocks can be a tedious process, but it is necessary to preserve the natural beauty of these stones. Start by placing them in cold water and lightly rinsing with medium pressure until all dirt has been removed from small crevices. The use of bamboo skewers help break up the debris that might have remained trapped during this process; however, you must also avoid using chemicals or strong water pressure so as not to wear down your beautiful stone too much! BREAKING SEIRY STONE: Many people don't like the way seiryu stone looks, so you may be surprised with how much of it arrives in your package. If this happens to you and doesn't suit what you wanted for a project, there are some things that can be done about it. The first step is to make sure that when breaking up the stones they look natural. Seiryu Stone is a tough stone to break into smaller pieces because it doesn't crack easily. However, one can use the hammer and chisel technique with this rock to ensure that they get aesthetically pleasing chunks of Mini stones every time. The stones will be more likely to fly around when being broken up - so make sure you wear safety goggles! It might take some trial-and-error before finding out which process works best for this type of material, but once you do find your preferred method keep in mind that after each session to clean the rocks as needed until all surfaces are free from dirt or residue leftover on them by other materials like water or oil products. BOOSTS ALGAE GROWTH: Seiryu stones in aquariums can help algae grow and create a healthy ecosystem. Algae create oxygen for the other aquarium plants to thrive, while also taking carbon dioxide from them through photosynthesis. This balanced system is important as it helps with nutrient cycling where dead plant matter decomposes into nutrients that are used by new ones growing out of old roots or leftover food scraps on the bottom of your tank which will then be decomposed again back into gas carbon dioxide for more algal growth! FOOD SOURCE FOR LIVESTOCK: As a good aquascapes, you will not neglect to feed your fish. In addition to food for the livestock, algae from seiryu stones can be an additional source of nutrition. One example is Amano shrimps and Nerite snails that eat this type of plant life. DECREASES AMMONIA AND NITRITE LEVELS: Researchers have found that adding seiryu stones to an aquarium can reduce ammonia and nitrate levels, making the water healthier for your fish. The calcium carbonate in these rocks helps increase pH without having to use any chemicals like limestone or baking soda. MIMICS THE NATURAL HABITAT OF FISHES: Seiryu stones are great for fish tanks because they offer a natural habitat that mimics the environment where fishes would usually live. The addition of seiryu stones, along with some plant life in your tank will help reduce stress to your fishes and can go as far as preventing death!

Its diminutive size (leaves are often smaller than a fingernail) allows you to create intricate, detailed landscapes. The deep green, waxy leaves provide a stunning contrast against light-colored substrates and dark driftwood. Because it absorbs nutrients directly from the water through its rhizome (the thick green stem), this plant should never be buried in substrate. Our ready-made solution solves this problem perfectly!

Propagation Cut the rhizome with a sharp knife to create new plants. Plant Type Epiphyte (Grows attached to surfaces) How to Use: Rinse: Gently rinse the plant and rock under cool water to remove any transport debris. Place: Simply place the lava rock anywhere in your aquarium! You can leave it on the substrate, partially bury the rock (but not the plant's rhizome), or even glue it to a larger piece of driftwood. Enjoy: Watch as your plant continues to grow and eventually carpet over the rock, creating a beautiful, natural effect. Important Notes & Considerations ⚠️ DON'T BURY THE RHIZOME: The thick, green horizontal stem (the rhizome) must never be buried in gravel or sand, or it will rot and die. The rock itself can be buried. 🌱 FERTILIZING: While not required, occasional liquid fertilizer will promote healthier, faster growth and more vibrant leaves. ✂️ TRIMMING: Simply trim away any old or yellowing leaves at the stem base to encourage new growth. 🔄 NATURAL VARIATION: Each plant is unique!

Ingredients Highlight: Rich in proteins, phospholipids, vitamins, and carotenoids for development and color. How To Use: Feeding Guide: Feed tiny amounts 2-3 times per day. A few grains are often enough for a small spawn of betta fry. Pro Tip: Use a dedicated feeding spoon or moistened toothpick to pinch a tiny amount and gently swirl it into the water. Avoid overfeeding. Important: Observe your fry. Their bellies should look slightly pinkish and full after eating. Remove any uneaten food after an hour to preserve water quality. Who is this food for? Prestige Bettas Golden Pearl Food is essential for: Betta breeders raising spawns from day one. Hobbyists breeding nano fish, livebearers, or dwarf shrimp. Anyone who needs a reliable first food for egg layer fry too small for baby brine shrimp. Aquarists seeking a superior alternative to messy egg yolk or infusoria cultures.

This is the most critical time for their survival. Q: Is this better than liquid fry food?A: Yes. Liquid foods often dissolve quickly, fog the water, and can cause rapid水质恶化. Our Golden Pearls are solid, suspend better, and are far less polluting, giving fry more time to eat. Q: Can I feed this to adult fish or shrimp?A: While not harmful, the particle size is too small for most adult fish to effectively eat. It is, however, an excellent food for shrimp and filter-feeding invertebrates.

    The molly fish is a species of fish of the genus Poecilia. They inhabit fresh, brackish, salt, and coastal waters from North Carolina to Texas and the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico. The body of the sailfin molly is essentially oblong. The head is small and dorsally flattened, with a small, upturned mouth. The caudal peduncle is broad and the caudal fin is large, rounded, and sometimes tipped with black. The pelvic fins originate at a point anterior to the dorsal fin. In mature males, the dorsal fin is greatly enlarged (it is this feature that gives the species its common name) and the caudal fin is similarly colourful; these conspicuous secondary sexual features play a role in female mate choices. Females tend to be larger and more plainly colored, a different characteristic to the Poeciliidae. The body is generally light grey, although breeding males may be greenish-blue. Several rows of spots occur along the sides, back, and dorsal fin. Often, these spots blend together, forming stripes. Aquarists have developed many color variations in this species (variation occurs naturally in the wild), with melanistic, leucistic, albino, and speckled forms known. Source: Wikipedia contributors.

    Temperature: This species is subject to seasonal temperature fluctuations in nature and is most comfortable between 14 – 22 °C. Permanent exposure to warmer conditions is likely to result in a shortened lifespan and in many countries or well-insulated homes it’s best-maintained without artificial heating year-round. In tests the wild fish from Hainan Island showed a reduced tolerance to cooler temperatures compared with tank-bred specimens, presumably due to their more southerly, i.e., tropical, distribution. pH: 6.0 – 8.5 Hardness: 90 – 357 ppm
