I love your shrimp videos and I am envious of the setup you have. You inspired me to set up a tank just for my crystal black shrimp and I love that u are a fellow Scotsman! Shrimp On Mark
Everytime I watch one of your vids your shrimp room looks different in some way .... your house plants are growing so nicely ! This room looks so cozy I don't know if Id ever want to leave it if I was there lol !
Thank you ,do you remember that email where I said I was struggling alittle bit with breeding ? increasing the room temp 2 degrees fixed it as you can see :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks i have this problem right now. Non of my cherries are berried anymore but all of them has the saddle. Water temp is steady 25c. Should i go higher to 27c for a while you think?
You know I brain stormed over this tank for days trying to figure out why it does so well compared to the others and the only real difference is the size ...it could be other things but maybe stability is more important than I thought :)
I really enjoy your enthusiasm for shrimp keeping. I am planning to start keeping crystal reds this year and have learned a lot from. Your videos already.
kinda getting a little jealous here. i just started keeping red charry shrimp. and seeing your shrimp is making me want even more. and thanks for all the nice videos on shrimp keeping.
Hey Mark. you have inspired me to make my own Crystal Red Shrimp tank. I am using a 30W led on it and I have been talk to you lately. Thank you for the awesome videos and have a good day
I hope that they make it on the channel. Would love to see fishing videos. I plan to purchase shrimp from the shrimp farm after I set up my tank and have it cycle for a month. Keep up the great inspiring work.
In the words of Borat, "It's nice!" Mark. i just put together a 20 gal tank with pelia moss (I think is same as subwasstang), flame moss, a lot of christmas moss, fissidens nobilis mat, marimo moss ball (which I flattened out to a mat), and probably another fissidens species mat. I also have a lot of duck weed and water lettuce which I imagine is preventing algae growth but the shrimp really seem to like it and eat it's roots. my substrate is fine black sand mixed with azoo plant substrate. I'm trying to breed CRS (but higher grade) but just realized that despite trading out all my larger fish and keeping the smaller ones (i.e. cardinal tetras, guppy endlers) they probably can still eat the babies despite adequate hiding spaces (i cover up rocks and cholla wood with the pelia moss and christmas moss but the shrimp, snails, or crawfish can root around in there)... I also previous bought about 10 blue dwarf crawfish and 2 CPO orange dwarf crawfish but I've been getting mixed reviews and recommendations about it (previously when the water was colder as it is winter here in california, I saw the crawfish eat the shrimp) but since warming the water up with a heater, they seem to be doing okay and can escape but just worried they will continue to chase them around frightening them. also, I'm worried my amano shrimp will frighten the shrimp as well since they're so active. I'm concerned as I often feed my crawfish earthworms and am afraid my feeding patterns will affect the water quality and thus kill the shrimp. I generally feed fluval color enhancing flakes, occassionally algae wafers, and sometimes blood worms). water parameters are GH 180, Kh 40, pH 7, nitrite 0, and nitrate 20. I plan to do 10% water changes every 2 weeks using tap water mixed with dechlorinator and some bacteria solution. what are your thoughts? Thanks, Vy. Again awesome job on your tanks and sorry for the long question.
Cray fish and CPOs will eat Shrimp but Ammano Shrimp dont for some reason,you seem to know what your doing so there isnt much else to add ,your water is fine but with Shrimp you want to keep the Nitrates as low as possible ,you could probably get away with 20% every two weeks if thats possible .
Your subwasser moss looks amazing. Mine is just sitting there doing nothing for now. Its been 1 week since i bought it. Also, love your cherry tank, seemw to do good. Your top tank looks great too, matbe because you have so much biological filtration in it.
Amazing tanks! What is the big bushy plants that look like a hedge plant in the tanks? They are beautiful! And you are growing a pitcher plant! Never saw one that big unless they were in a forest! I'm new to tanks and have been wanting to get some shrimp, you have a great variety to choose from, I'll keep that in mind! Thank you for letting us see your babies!
hi Mark. nice video. love your tanks. have you checked your TDS? I've been having a bit of trouble with bee shrimp for a long time until I figured out that the TDS should be less than 150 and GH - 2-4 and KH -0-1, which makes water very acidic and soft. what are your water parameters in the big tank? very nice videos. keep it coming :)
make sure to film what new filter you get for the cherrys, Cuz my hang on the back is like yours and i need a new one I'll take any tips i can get for a good filter. tho i'm thinking of getting a trickel/shower filter, The once that pondguru made a video on :) Thanks for all the good vids mark! :D
Hey Mark, i would like to ask you how to create these huge balls of Subwater Tang. Another topic that would be quite interesting is, how you grow the offspring of your neocaridina, including waterchanging frequency, feeding, especially what kind and how much you feed , water parameters etc.I would very appreciate if you could make a video about these topics. Thank you.
I have a video on subwassertang th-cam.com/video/aJueVH8Fhqc/w-d-xo.html In a month or so I will set up a tank from scratch fro bloody mary shrimp I think you will like :D
Best think to do is get as big a tank as you can in the beginning because trying to move baby shrimp can be a pain in the butt ,what type of shrimp did you have ?
Marks Shrimp Tanks I'm in the early stages so I'm contemplating the idea of acquiring shrimp, I was going to buy 5 different colours of the Neocaridina and put them in a 60 Litre tank. Should I go bigger? I'm max going to have around 7 shrimps in the beginning.
Hi Mark you got me in trouble today as the post man delivered my Tangerine Tiger Shrimp the wife asked questions I said well there is this guy on youtube LOL
Just simple at the moment, I want to see if I can breed. So Cherry shrimp for now and go from there. I've got a community tank already. I have some spare aquarium sand left over from my community tank, would that be ok for the substrate in the shrimp tank? I've just discovered you so I'm watching a few your vids :) great work
Oh I would love to give them away to subscriber but I cant Ship them ..the winter is to harsh here to risk putting them outside ,it can get as cold as -30 ..Its not just that, the post is unreliable and super expensive.
Marks Shrimp Tanks they are crazy expensive but they r so awesome and it is addicting, started with some in a community tank a few months later I now have 2 dedicated shrimp tanks. MTS is a really problem!!
nice video Mark, i think taiwan bee and pinto have not strong genetic they die very easily even if the water is perfect, i have the same problem with my tanks, with neocaridina, mischling, crs and royal blue tiger i dont have any problem.
You know I have a feeling they are very susceptible to nitrate poisoning as you say probably because they are geneticley weak. Time for some over filtration :D
I'm still waiting for my shrimp to grow out to even breed in the first place. My first set I got ahold of the females did not like the move and all died. It will be nice to have a tank or two in the future that comes least bit close to your big tank.
i love your videos!! your excitement for your shrimp motivates me to care for my own aquarium!! your tanks are beautifull. Im going to buy a atya gabunensis why dont you have one? i love to know how you make those hanging plants in the back of your big tank :D thanks for your videos!! i hope you have a great 2017 with your shrimp
Nice video Mark. This is the first time I leave a comment here. I am following your channel for a little while now and learnt a lot from it. I am planning to set up a 30 liter shrimp tank, somewhere in 2017. I like the caridina shrimps species as well as the neocaridina species, but can you use regular tap water with ph-lowering substrate? And I wondered for a while what the size is of your big shrimp tank with Cr blacks and reds and the two shrimp tanks underneath that? And I like the brown substrate a lot. What kind of substrate is that? Sorry for all my questions. Greetings from The Netherlands :)
Thanks a lot for the information. I never would have thought that your tanks would be that big. The 170liter one is a divided tank? Awesome to hear that you can use regular tap water with ph-lowering substrate. A ro-di/osmose water system is a to big financial investment for me. Maybe in the future. Keep up the good work :)
I'd love to have some proper shrimp tanks, but where I live there are laws prohibiting the sale and owning of (neo)caradina. So I'm gonna try and breed some native shrimp (Paratya Australiensis), see how it goes. They can get some pretty awesome colouration and patterns on them for a "Ghost Shrimp".
No, Tasmania. Imagine an island quarantined from a quarantined mainland, and you can getting close to the laws we have about imports. I can't even buy the shrimp I want from the mainland even though they are native to Tasmania :)
Dwain my memory of spoken word is becoming horrific,I can tell you the first letter of the word but I cant remember the rest of it,its a problem I have always had ..luckily for me I can hide it in my videos a little bit lol
I have a ? about subwassertang, I explain what really happened in one of my vlogs but you grow it well could you either direct me to one of your videos or, give some specs on what you do for success? since I have moved it does not grow for me as well as in the past maybe i am missing something. Thanks,. Steve
Hello ,I have tried a few things with this plant because some people were saying it didnt do well for them .Itried hard and soft water and it grows ok ,high and low light it does good ..then I tried a tank with ferts and it started to brown .hope this is of some use to you :)
It makes the water soft ,in my biggest tank I have akadama in it and its been my best tank so far ..I cant get it here in Norway anymore because they dont allow soils from asia into Norway which is weird because I can still get the other soils.
Hello, Lelio again, just two questions, what is the name and use of the little flask in the right hand of the aquarium? Also, the name of the plants (looks like a ball) use in most of your aquariums? Regards
Lelio Martinez Yeah unfortunately I know its not in Amozon Us ,I know of a guy in the Uk called Pro Shrimp that has them www.ebay.com/itm/Sochting-Mini-Oxydator-Increase-Oxygen-in-Aquariums-Fish-Shrimp-Breeding-/262256906101?hash=item3d0fbacf75:g:hY8AAOSwxH1UFqdh
Lelio Martinez Correct on giving more Oxygen ,I have seen some German Shrimp keepers use the Pond size Oxydators in there tanks and they have thousands of Shrimp in there.
So glad theres people like you Mark that make so many videos constantly about the shrimp hobby! Thanks
Cheers Royal ,that was a very nice comment :)

Thanks my friend :)
Everytime I watch one of your vids your shrimp room looks different in some way .... your house plants are growing so nicely ! This room looks so cozy I don't know if Id ever want to leave it if I was there lol !
Thank you ,do you remember that email where I said I was struggling alittle bit with breeding ? increasing the room temp 2 degrees fixed it as you can see :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks i have this problem right now. Non of my cherries are berried anymore but all of them has the saddle. Water temp is steady 25c. Should i go higher to 27c for a while you think?
Blue shrimp are fascinating! Made better with the falsetto voice-over!
Thank you my friend ,nice to see you here :)
Love your videos. So helpful when starting my shrimp tank!
Thank you fro the very nice comment :)
I love these monthly update videos. Especially the big successful tank with all the babies in it. I would love to see a video dedicated to that tank.
You know I brain stormed over this tank for days trying to figure out why it does so well compared to the others and the only real difference is the size ...it could be other things but maybe stability is more important than I thought :)
I really enjoy your enthusiasm for shrimp keeping. I am planning to start keeping crystal reds this year and have learned a lot from. Your videos already.
Awesome ,remember you can ask anytime for help :)
Great video like always and glad to c u stil have joy on the shrimp hobbyKeep on Shrimping Mark

Ive seen a few more babys in the middle tanks today :D
In the words of Borat, "It's nice!" Mark. i just put together a 20 gal tank with pelia moss (I think is same as subwasstang), flame moss, a lot of christmas moss, fissidens nobilis mat, marimo moss ball (which I flattened out to a mat), and probably another fissidens species mat.

Marks Shrimp Tanks Thanks Mark!
Your subwasser moss looks amazing. Mine is just sitting there doing nothing for now. Its been 1 week since i bought it. Also, love your cherry tank, seemw to do good.
Your top tank looks great too, matbe because you have so much biological filtration in it.
I am hoping the middle tank now picks up after the substrate change :)
your bye gesture at the end was adorably cute lol :3
lol Rhen I still havnt figured out a good way to end the video yet ...I might just yell END lol
haha definitely keep doing the hand gesture. Dont worry we can all get used to it.
Amazing tanks! What is the big bushy plants that look like a hedge plant in the tanks? They are beautiful! And you are growing a pitcher plant! Never saw one that big unless they were in a forest! I'm new to tanks and have been wanting to get some shrimp, you have a great variety to choose from, I'll keep that in mind! Thank you for letting us see your babies!
The plants in the tanks are called Subwassertang ,
I have a soft spot for pitcher plants and I have a few of them scattered around the room :)
Nice Work! I learn A LOT
Thank you :)
Beautiful tanks, enjoyed the video
Thank you ,Your dog is very cute :)
Much Love (°◡°♡).:｡
love the videos! keep up the great work
Thank you mistaplayer2 :D
your tanks looks very good, i have subscribed
Thank you Vonks :)
I am so jelly and jealous. I wish I have a corner like your's!
+Rilence thank you. Do you keep shrimp ?
Yep I asked you about the Alder Cones that day! I have some Fire Reds, Red Rilis, Blue Diamonds and Oranges.
+Rilence sounds like you have a decent amount of Shrimp,How many tanks do you have ?
nice tanks I'm working on setting up my first shrimp tank soon.
Yes that is what I like to hear Steven :)
See you next 🤪👍🦐
So glad I subscribed to your video's I have learnt so much and like the improvements you do to your set up.
Thank you Stanley ,I really enjoy doing this now and if I can help you guys along the way well why not ,Thank you for the nice comment :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Looking forward to buying some of your subwassetang for my third shrimp tank
I see you already did ,I have made it up already .Thank you for the order :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Yes figured out where to buy it off you via ebay... great service many thanks.. Stan
great update mark!
Cheers:)
newbie to tanks here with a quick question. what is this little dish in the bottom of some of your tanks for?
To stop food going into the gravel and polluting the tank :)
Love your tanks!
Hi Marks how are you doing..how do you make those BIG balls of MOSS and what kind of moss are you using. Thanks
Just got some Indian Almond leaves from the shrimp farm 😀 and it looks great in my tank I was curious how much do you sell your plants for Mark?
Thanks Brenan ,The Subwassertang is $5 and $5 Shipping world wide ,if you buy a double order the shipping is still just $5.
Okay awesome thanks Mark and how do u I go about buying some?
Send an email to this markpeggiehotmail.com
and I will take your details payment is through paypal :)
Ok I just sent you an avail thanks again Mark you're the best 😀
Email*
hi Mark. nice video. love your tanks. have you checked your TDS? I've been having a bit of trouble with bee shrimp for a long time until I figured out that the TDS should be less than 150 and GH - 2-4 and KH -0-1, which makes water very acidic and soft. what are your water parameters in the big tank? very nice videos. keep it coming :)
Hello Olga, my aim for tds is around 140 ppm for caridina and I dont think it maters so much for snails and neocaridina :)
thx for sharing ur shrimproom looks great
Thank you Redouan el Ghazaoui !!:D
make sure to film what new filter you get for the cherrys, Cuz my hang on the back is like yours and i need a new one I'll take any tips i can get for a good filter.
tho i'm thinking of getting a trickel/shower filter, The once that pondguru made a video on :)
Thanks for all the good vids mark! :D
You know I have been meaning to order a new filter for that tank for weeks and I keep on forgetting ,Thanks for the reminder :)
Hey Mark, i would like to ask you how to create these huge balls of Subwater Tang.
Another topic that would be quite interesting is, how you grow the offspring of your neocaridina, including waterchanging frequency, feeding, especially what kind and how much you feed , water parameters etc.I would very appreciate if you could make a video about these topics. Thank you.
I have a video on subwassertang th-cam.com/video/aJueVH8Fhqc/w-d-xo.html
In a month or so I will set up a tank from scratch fro bloody mary shrimp I think you will like :D
Lovin the shrimpies!!!
Cheers:)
i wanna start a shrimp tank lol love those shrimp
You should :)
Hi Mark, how many shrimp would you say would fit in a 45 litre tank? So if the shrimp have children I know at what limit to upgrade to a bigger tank.
Best think to do is get as big a tank as you can in the beginning because trying to move baby shrimp can be a pain in the butt ,what type of shrimp did you have ?
Marks Shrimp Tanks I'm in the early stages so I'm contemplating the idea of acquiring shrimp, I was going to buy 5 different colours of the Neocaridina and put them in a 60 Litre tank. Should I go bigger? I'm max going to have around 7 shrimps in the beginning.
60 is fine for a standard tank ,its the size I use the most ,7 is ok to start with just dont over feed them :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks Definitely, just a pinch a day right? and thank you for your help, I couldn't do it without your videos!
You are very welcome :)
+EmilioBraganza Congratulations :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks I can't believe I won, thanks so much!!
Emilio Braganza I left you a comment in google plus , give me your address and I will ship it to you :)
hahahaha that is so rad. Congrats,Emilio!!!
Congratulations!
Hi Mark you got me in trouble today as the post man delivered my Tangerine Tiger Shrimp the wife asked questions I said well there is this guy on youtube LOL
hahaha thats pretty funny lol
Great shrimp! I'm setting up a 50L for a new shrimp tank.
Excellent Stuart ,what are you getting ?
Just simple at the moment, I want to see if I can breed. So Cherry shrimp for now and go from there. I've got a community tank already.
I have some spare aquarium sand left over from my community tank, would that be ok for the substrate in the shrimp tank?
I've just discovered you so I'm watching a few your vids :) great work
Yes your substrate will be ok ,Cherry's are not fussy really :)
Loving the blue bolts! I think I might need to get some :D
With a bit of luck we shall be having baby Blue bolts ,one of the girls is berried :)
Awesome! Always a great sign to see those berried females!
I see two tiny babys in there today :D
See you in the next one, maybe do a shrimp giveaway the month after to help with your overflow of shrimp
Oh I would love to give them away to subscriber but I cant Ship them ..the winter is to harsh here to risk putting them outside ,it can get as cold as -30 ..Its not just that, the post is unreliable and super expensive.
Your shrimp are so gorgeous!!! Wish It was easier to get hold of shrimp in Australia.
Yeah I feel you NOT LIKE THAT!! :D
Marks Shrimp Tanks they are crazy expensive but they r so awesome and it is addicting, started with some in a community tank a few months later I now have 2 dedicated shrimp tanks. MTS is a really problem!!
when you cull a tank what do you do with the collected shrimp? could make a decent profit selling them
see I dont like to sell culls because I dont like to sell Shrimp that have poor color ect .
Amazing tanks Mark. Im gonna sound stupid now but can you tell me the name of the plant that is on the hanging ropes in your large tank. Thanks
Its called Subwassertang my friend and no it isnt a stupid question :)
very nice Mark!
Thank you Sylvia youre not bad yourself :D
So is it ok to keep multiple breeds of shrimp in the same tank?
Yes sir .
Marks Shrimp Tanks will they not breed with each other though?
Hi Mark nice tanks
in my tank on driftwood there is few white alge like things shall I clean them with tooth brush and why they do come on wood
Amit that is normal ..every tank has this you just dont see it normally because Shrimp and Fish will eat it :)
Nice video. Thanks
You are very welcome Vivek Gupta :)
nice video Mark, i think taiwan bee and pinto have not strong genetic they die very easily even if the water is perfect, i have the same problem with my tanks, with neocaridina, mischling, crs and royal blue tiger i dont have any problem.
You know I have a feeling they are very susceptible to nitrate poisoning as you say probably because they are geneticley weak. Time for some over filtration :D
By the way you won the give in this video can you send me your shipping address ?
I'm still waiting for my shrimp to grow out to even breed in the first place. My first set I got ahold of the females did not like the move and all died. It will be nice to have a tank or two in the future that comes least bit close to your big tank.
Yeah it does take them a while to get started again ,Cherries from the smallest size to breeding is about 6 weeks ,Crystals are about 2 months .
I have a baby blue crayfish tho I want to improve the color what should I do
good food and minerals will help beyond that nt much else you can do .
Paludarium. :) Love your videos
ah thank you kind Sir :D
Hello Mark can you explain your lights. Also what is the water pouring in. i love the look of it.
Light video will be coming soon ..water pouring in will just be from the filtration.
Thank you
i love your videos!! your excitement for your shrimp motivates me to care for my own aquarium!! your tanks are beautifull. Im going to buy a atya gabunensis why dont you have one? i love to know how you make those hanging plants in the back of your big tank :D thanks for your videos!! i hope you have a great 2017 with your shrimp
I will expand my Shrimp species alot more in the next few months and I want to include a few fan species :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks yeaayy im looking forward to that !!
Great tanks Mark
Thank you :)
Nice video Mark. This is the first time I leave a comment here. I am following your channel for a little while now and learnt a lot from it. I am planning to set up a 30 liter shrimp tank, somewhere in 2017. I like the caridina shrimps species as well as the neocaridina species, but can you use regular tap water with ph-lowering substrate? And I wondered for a while what the size is of your big shrimp tank with Cr blacks and reds and the two shrimp tanks underneath that? And I like the brown substrate a lot. What kind of substrate is that? Sorry for all my questions. Greetings from The Netherlands :)
Hello ,the substrate is Akadama in the top tank (200liter) and Amazonia in the Middle tank(170liter) ,you can use tap water with both .
Thanks a lot for the information. I never would have thought that your tanks would be that big. The 170liter one is a divided tank? Awesome to hear that you can use regular tap water with ph-lowering substrate. A ro-di/osmose water system is a to big financial investment for me. Maybe in the future. Keep up the good work :)
nice tank, but i have one question, what is the tube bottle inside the tank? thank you.
Hello my friend ,the glass tube is an oxydator ,it cleans the water .just so happens I made a video on it which I will share soon :)
Very nice!
Hello Chipmunk :)
I'd love to have some proper shrimp tanks, but where I live there are laws prohibiting the sale and owning of (neo)caradina. So I'm gonna try and breed some native shrimp (Paratya Australiensis), see how it goes. They can get some pretty awesome colouration and patterns on them for a "Ghost Shrimp".
So is it the whole of Australia that has these prohibition laws ? Because I know there are forums of people in oz that keep all kinds of Shrimp .
No, Tasmania. Imagine an island quarantined from a quarantined mainland, and you can getting close to the laws we have about imports. I can't even buy the shrimp I want from the mainland even though they are native to Tasmania :)
Dominic Hull It sucks but I can see why they do that ,you dont want invasive species messing with the locals.
Great video!!! Babies babies babies
Thanks Kurt ,Hows you Shrimp doing ?
so far so good - shipment arrives on friday. hope to bring water into TDS spec. and prepare for new shrimp
Refugium? Great video Mark your tanks are spot on :)
Dwain my memory of spoken word is becoming horrific,I can tell you the first letter of the word but I cant remember the rest of it,its a problem I have always had ..luckily for me I can hide it in my videos a little bit lol
not to worry i can't remember my own name at times :) being over 60 sux :)...better than the alternative though
pothos have them in my hob filter As well

Keep up the good work!
Thank yo my friend :)
I have a ? about subwassertang, I explain what really happened in one of my vlogs but you grow it well could you either direct me to one of your videos or, give some specs on what you do for success? since I have moved it does not grow for me as well as in the past maybe i am missing something. Thanks,. Steve
Hello ,I have tried a few things with this plant because some people were saying it didnt do well for them .Itried hard and soft water and it grows ok ,high and low light it does good ..then I tried a tank with ferts and it started to brown .hope this is of some use to you :)
Marks Shrimp Tanks That's it the ferts I dose the tank with thanks mark nailed it
Not trying to be a jerk, but whats the fascination of shrimp tanks?
Everyone has different interests my friend :)
Mark
What substrate do you use for your shrimp tanks?
Akadama when I can get it ,Amazonia otherwise :)
Hi Mark is that a special buffering substrate in you main tank with allll the babies or just a regular gravel?
Yes in my main tank with all the red and white shrimp its a substrate called akadama :)
Ah cool thanks for the reply...Akadama comes up as a bonsai soil, so what does it do the shrimp?
It makes the water soft ,in my biggest tank I have akadama in it and its been my best tank so far ..I cant get it here in Norway anymore because they dont allow soils from asia into Norway which is weird because I can still get the other soils.
Awesome thanks for the info, you're the MAN!
mark. my pregnant shrimps keep on moving their eggs. and i think my rilli lost atleast half of her eggs. what could be wrong? :(
Try not to disturb them when they have eggs ,they shouldnt drop them that way .
Hello, Lelio again, just two questions, what is the name and use of the little flask in the right hand of the aquarium? Also, the name of the plants (looks like a ball) use in most of your aquariums? Regards
Hello the plant is called Subwassertang ,and the glass flasks are called Sochting Oxydator .
Marks Shrimp Tanks, hello, I can not find the soching oxy. in Amazon USA, do you have another name for that? Regards
Lelio Martinez Yeah unfortunately I know its not in Amozon Us ,I know of a guy in the Uk called Pro Shrimp that has them www.ebay.com/itm/Sochting-Mini-Oxydator-Increase-Oxygen-in-Aquariums-Fish-Shrimp-Breeding-/262256906101?hash=item3d0fbacf75:g:hY8AAOSwxH1UFqdh
Marks Shrimp Tanks, I guess that the main idea for using this is to create more oxygen into the aquarium and stop the moss
Lelio Martinez Correct on giving more Oxygen ,I have seen some German Shrimp keepers use the Pond size Oxydators in there tanks and they have thousands of Shrimp in there.
