Never again?? Oh. That is a problem. I really want them in this tank, because it is my larger tank. Activated carbon won't make it safe for them?? I certainly would not have treated the tank if I...

Disappearing shrimp
So I set up a new 10 gal tank. After it had cycled, I caught what I could of my cherry shrimp colony in the big tank and moved it to this tank (about 10 shrimps). That night, I can only find 2...
