… im thinking about getting red cherry shrimp , but i kinda want something very unususal to finnish off my bottom feeding capacity if tripops are not a good choice and RCS are too standard then what else is there that might go well in my tank that do a great job of cleaning up? ( i dont want cory catfish) i want something fun to look at and hard workers so what would u suggest? … btw its just over three foot long and holds 140 litres of water, MY FILTER IS THE FLUVAL U4(AMAZING CLEARS COMPLETLY FILTHY WATER IN ONE HOUR IN MY TANK BTW).(thats the tank im talking about) sorry for the huuuge question btw and please share links and photos and advice to me. IM A BEGINNER AND ANY ADVICE/GUIDENCE/ TIPS ABOUT MY FISH OR MY TANK WOULD BE FATASTIC.. THE MAIN QUESTION IS , WILL THE TRIOPS EAT OR KILL ANY OF MY FISH? (CAN I KEEP THE TRIOPS IN A NET HATCHERY until the triops are a nice size and wont get eaten?) SO THEY ARE NOT EATEN BY MY EXISTING FISH? AND WHAT IS THE LIFESPAN OF TRIOPS PLEASE? (sorry about the caps and non caps i was going to make the whole thing non caps but im in a real hurry!) please try to answer all my questions please?

how can i clean my fish tank for first time use?

Hi, I just bought a brand new 10 gallon glass fish tank from Petco and i am planning on raising Triops Longicaudatus in it.

The tank itself is pretty dusty, inside and out. I think it is because it was just in the store for a long amount of time.

How can I clean out this tank so i can begin assembling the tank?

Can I just rinse the tank out with tapwater and wipe it dry with some paper towels? or is that a bad idea?

Theres this organism I see in a dirty fish tank what is it?

I used to have a fish tank that’s really dirty, like for months. The fishes were all gold fishes if i remembered it correctly. When i took a look in the fish tank, i see this little moving thing that looks/shapes like a triops cancriformis in the pile of poops. Anyone knows what it is? I’ve been wondering what it was for years.
The only living things in there are a few gold fishes, what else can sprout out of that fish tank?

What is the red worm in my fish tank?

I have a 5 gal. fish tank I keep triops in. I recently changed from rocks to sand since they like to dig. I used some construction grade sand that I sifted and cleaned before using. Seems to be fine and the triops like it. Anyway, this morning I was looking in the tank and saw a little red worm come about half way out of the sand and snag something (food?), then it went back into the sand. I stirred the sand up where I saw it to see if I could see it again, but no luck.
Anyone know what it is?
