I have a 3g Eclipse system that is fully cycled and recently empty. It had a small goldfish in it and now I would like to play around with it and create a planted shrimp habitat. I would like to get Cherry Shrimp and due to their cost and limited availability where I live, don't want to learn through their deaths :) I was thinking I would concentrate on getting the tank converted first, get all the parameters worked out and then get the shrimp.
Does anyone know if the little heaters for small tanks that go under the gravel would work? I don't remember the brand, but the look like a very small heating pad. Advertised that they can safely be place under gravel. They don't have a setting though and simply just raise the temp of the tank by a few degrees. Would this be adequate? ]]> Other Aquatic Creatures http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/other-aquatic-creatures/59425-tank-cherry-shrimp.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/other-aquatic-creatures/59398-triop-journal.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 05:20:06 GMT I finally got my "Science Project" (shh, it's partly a cover-up): TRIOPS! :)

I'm going to hatch half of the batch, as the instructions say, and "experiment" on those (it's humane I promise).
The second half, I plan to hatch and raise :):)

So
Day 1: Friday the 13th - Added eggs
Day 2: 11/14 - NOTHING has happened v.v

The suspense is KILLING me! :(*ALL*:mad:*ALL* ]]> Other Aquatic Creatures DarkLies http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/other-aquatic-creatures/59398-triop-journal.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/other-aquatic-creatures/59367-neon-tetra.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:44:55 GMT I recently got a school of Neon tetra's (which are my first tetra's ever) and i need some info on them. ]]> Other Aquatic Creatures drake53 http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/other-aquatic-creatures/59367-neon-tetra.html http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/other-aquatic-creatures/59356-triops-sea-monkeys.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:22:34 GMT I suddenly had an epiphony!

For my Science Fair Project, I can study Sea Monkeys! Then I started researching them...and researching them...then I found Triops! Triops are much more interesting looking.

Now, for my question:
For just observing their behavior, what would you suggest? Sea Monkeys or Triops?
And if there's an (very safe for the invertebrate, of course) experiment, such as "What food promotes the growth?" (given food, yeast, etc), would you recommend it?

Also, any first-hand tips would be greatly appreciated! :):) ]]> Other Aquatic Creatures DarkLies http://www.myfishtank.net/forum/other-aquatic-creatures/59356-triops-sea-monkeys.html
