fish replacement for amano shrimp

o snap its eric · 07-02-2009, 09:14 PM

Since i can't seem to keep any shrimp alive in my tank and all my moss is dirty i'm looking for a alternative to amano shrimp. I have ruled out SAE because they have nibbled and killed my moss before. Any other suggestions besides otos?

Not really, depends on what makes your moss dirty. I would work on the shrimp issue rather than trying fish - amanos are hard to beat and actually not that sensitive.

Take the moss out if not attached, shake it in the change bucket and replace. If attached, use a small diameter hose to siphon it off. No fish or even shrimp will get all of the stuff off moss in my experience.
