    ctaylor3737 got a reaction from Louie in buce what is the fascination with this plant and what makes it so good   
    Thanks for the great info, I planted most of mine on a large piece of driftwood. And I got these for a good deal from a friend.


    These will be fun to find a spot for!

    Better shots of the buces, cloudy I added more substrate before I planted. These are all freshly planted, will get more adjusted and better scape layout when they grow in.
    I have a few different kinds, have to look lol got them written down in the fish room. I really like them though, only got small ones to start wasn't sure what I would like got 6 or so different ones.

    What I have loved about shrimp is that they tolerate very well a bunch of natural products that we can add to the tank and they will benefit from. There are many different products out there that claim to be the best and will give you this result or that result. The trick is to try a few things that are different and see how your shrimp react to them. There are a few things that are great to add to your tank that will help the overall health of your shrimp.
     
    Cholla Wood
     
    Cholla Wood provides the perfect place for shrimp to hide and is a great natural decoration. This wood breaks down faster than most others resulting in a faster bio film\grazing area for shrimp there fore it is will be an excellent long term natural food source.
     
    The Cholla cactus (Cylindropuntia imbricata) are native to the American Southwest and northern Mexico. The remnants of these dead cactus branches results in a soft wood. Cholla Wood has an interesting pattern and does not contain as much tannic acids as other woods or leaves. For the best result add a few to your tank and use them as decorations. I have seen people attach moss and others have used them in scapes.
     
    There are many different natural products that you may be able to find in your area that you can add to your tank to spruce up your scape and help the overall health of your shrimp. I will be adding more products to this thread as I come across them. Figured this would be a good place for someone new to shrimp to get answers as to why people put these things in with our shrimp!
     
     
    Indian Almond Leaves
    Indian Almond leaves are a great natural way to condition your water. Sometimes they are refferred to as a poor mans water conditioner, the
    In the wild fish, shrimp and other aquatic animals adapt to the water conditions that are around them.  Even if your fish manages to survive in less than ideal conditions, there is a great difference between thriving and merely staying alive. If your fish or shrimp is found where there is leaves and other plant debris regularly falls into the water and decompose, your fish will be used to that kind of environment and that is where natural products are so healthy to add to an aquarium, Leaves that fall into the water release a myriad of different compounds, from trace minerals to dyes, and animals living in the water adapt to having all these different compounds readily available. When we place fish in our “clean” and rather unnatural aquariums, we in avertedly deprive them of access to a long row of different compounds present in their native habitat. This is often why people with planted tanks often have better luck with the same kind of fish someone has that is not planted. Using these leaves will help you make a stable and more natural enviroment for your inhabitants.
     
    Just like driftwood and peat, Indian almond leaves release ample amounts of tannins into the water. The tannins affect the pH-value (how much will depend on the buffer capacity of your water) and you will also see how the water turns dark – just like a blackwater river. Needless to say, water rich in tannins is appreciated by fish species that hail from such environments in the wild. So called blackwater habitats are formed when rivers flow slowly through heavily forested areas where falling leaves and other plant debris end up decomposing in the water. This is quite natural and will benefit to your advantage. If you are not fond of tannis it will be removed with your filter, although it is better to let it run its course and not to interfere with it. Usually a leaf or two will do the job and will decompose and get eatin by your shrimp in the aquarium.

    Hello Everyone!
     
    I am very excited to announce my first ever 100% Organic, Made & Grown in the U.S.A Snowflake Shrimp food we are calling "Upstate Blizzard" as it is grown and harvested in the snowbelt of central New York. I have been testing this product and my shrimp seem to love it more than others that I have tried.
     
    I wasn't expecting it to move as quickly as it did which is why I overlapped selling some of the other snowflake that I had already. For that reason if anyone is interested that just bought from me can get a free bag of my new food. You would just need to pay the $2.60 shipping! I will also ship to Canada for $3.60 shipping also.
     
    Price: $6.50
    Weight: 60g
    Shipping: $2.60 for any amount of bags.

    I use it for a long time, as long as it's sealed and dry is good imo. Most stuff is natural and not cooked so should be fine. It's been around alot longer than that for some minerals.
