Regani I have been reluctant to add tap to the tanks after fighting my hard water, before I went to RO. But, I'll try a topper this evening. The shells that I added are actually on a string so they can be easily removed from the tank. Thanks to all the post here, I think that I am finally...
Thanks for all your thoughts and input on this. It seems that my tank has heart burn.
I may have confused things a bit in my initial post. This is a low tech tank. No C02 injection, plants are just amazon swords, java fern, sagitaria, and water sprite ( sold as wisteria around here).

I have to believe that EBs act the same. I think you have a...
I have wondered the same thing about sexing EBs. I can't be of any assistance other than I have spent countless hours watching GBRs. The rapid head shake or twitching is almost
always initiated by the male, the female responds with a twitch back. But the male has an intensity about it. The...
