Home RAS for Prawns

A home recirculating aquaculture system for growing freshwater prawns or other aquatic species.

Here’s a video of my 70 gallon freshwater aquarium. The video features footage of feeder goldfish & minnows getting eaten. I have a variety of fish including 2 paroon sharks (similar to ID sharks), tire track eel, jumbo crayfish, rainbow crab, royal knife fish, blood parrot cichlid, common pleco, red tail shark, albino & regular rainbow sharks, and more…

Using black sand as a substrate?

I have a ten gallon tank that currently has some blue standard aqarium gravel. It is freshwater, but I would still like to change the substrate to black sand. So how would I go about that? It is the home to a male betta, 3 cory cats and two ghost shrimp. Would I have to catch them and toss them in a bucket with the tank water and then scrape out all the gravel and add the black sand? Would my tank have to recycle even if I used the same filter and plants/decoration?

Also would it be okay to just get black play-sand and rinse it in a pillow case and then soak it for a week?
Okay, I can get the aqarium sand, but were would I keep my fish for two weeks?
Okay are you sure I don’t have to recylce? I know a lot of people don’t know what they are talking about, but I trust you as you usally give awsome advice. I am going to check around on some various fish forums just in case(:
Ooo I like the idea of having the gravel on the bottom and covering it with sand(: But eventually I might get a khulie loach or two and I think they would be surprised when they went to burrow…

i want eat some fish but i don’t like that?

my husband like eat some seafood but i really don’t like that, last month we go eat in a restaurant and he took a plate with small shrimps and he tell me try just one maybe you will like it, it was very fantastic i think it’s just because i don’t know how to cook seafood, if you have a good idea for me and i can try to make it at home one of the recipes of shimps i will try it. excuse for my bad english but i try to do my best i am a french lady thank you ?

do freshwater shrimp need to have constant bubbles to add oxygen in their water?

i have a betta fish and i was thinking about getting him a shrimp as a tankmate, but i’m at college and during breaks i’m taking him home to stay in a little bowl until I come back and put him in his tank. So would my shrimp be able to stay the bowl or would I have to leave him at college? I wouldn’t be able to feed him then, but there are plants and roots for him to nibble on.
Is it doable? Should I forget the whole thing? Any suggestions?
oh my tank my betta is in already has an air pump in it. it all came together in a betta kit. it’s not good for the betta?
