The greenery of the Amazon always amazes us with its variety of flora and fauna and this time it came up with the exceptionally beautiful moss. The Christmas Moss originates from Brazil. In most cases, aquascape plants need plenty of carbon dioxide to live a healthy and long life, but in the case of Christmas moss, the requirement for CO2 is pretty less. It can survive on low amounts of carbon dioxide. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect habitat for your mosses:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe all know that \u003ca title=\"aquatic moss\" href=\"https:\/\/microaquaticshop.com.au\/collections\/moss\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eaquatic moss\u003c\/a\u003e loves a cold and dark atmosphere.

But like every other plant, it also needs a proper temperature range to bloom. If you keep the temperature of your aquarium below 77 F then the moss will bloom properly and you will be able to get the most out of it. It doesn’t matter if the aquarium is lit or dark, the moss will definitely look beautiful with all the other plants, greeneries, and every other element of the aquascape. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow to turn it into a self-sustaining system?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWon’t you like it if your aquarium is a self-sustaining one? Well, if you put Christmas moss in your aquarium, it can be done. This beautiful moss is the perfect hideout and playing spot for your fishes and your shrimps. They can hide within the bushes of the moss and of course, they can play around it as well. Besides all of these, this is the perfect home of Infusoria. These are small invertebrates and unicellular algae. Your fish and shrimp feed on infusoria. If you plant Christmas moss in your aquarium, it provides plenty of infusoria and your fish will simply love this food. They can live on this food and hence you will be able to prepare a self-sustaining aquarium. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow it recreates natural habitat\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristmas moss\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e recreates the natural habitat for the fish, shrimps and other aquatic animals that you are going to pour into your aquarium. When you fetch something out of its natural habitat, it cannot cope with the new atmosphere and in most of the time dies easily. If you want your fish and aquatic species to live happily, you need to create a home space for them in this new place. Christmas moss will definitely help you with that. It creates the same atmosphere and the same amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide balance can also be available here.

You can also search for those online shops that sell this product to other countries as well.

However, populations of L. riparium native to Germany have a very different appearance even when kept under the same conditions. They form - if they are not kept under very low light - more or less horizontal shoots with dense, flat foliage. The growth habit of this moss corresponds to the descriptions of L. riparium in taxonomic literature (e.g. Frahm \u0026amp; Frey 1992) far better than that of the upright-growing \"stringy moss\". We are of the opinion that the popular \"stringy moss\" is Drepanocladus aduncus, not L. riparium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStreamside Leptodictyum moss, or Leptodictyum riparium, is distributed in almost all the world, and besides willow moss (Fontinalis antipyretica) it is probably the most common aquatic moss in Central Europe. It grows on edges and in shallow zones of stagnant or slow-flowing water bodies with nutrient-rich water, and it is highly tolerant to pollution. L. riparium is frequently found in concrete troughs for watering purposes, especially in graveyards. Its emersed form grows to creep on hard substrates like rocks, tree roots and river embankments. There it frequently forms sporangia, whereas the submersed form of this moss grows floating shoots that are hardly ramified at all or moderately ramified. Leptodictyum riparium is very variable, and its appearance depends a lot on the conditions it grows in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetailed

Just be sure to provide your shrimp with the food and water conditions they need to thrive and do your research ahead of time to determine what those conditions are.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Neocaridina davidi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Freshwater Shrimp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Taiwan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin of this specimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tank born and raised by bioAquatix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGeneration filial:\u003c\/strong\u003e F1-F3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTank TSD:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 to 250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eTank Parameters\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePh:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5 to 8.0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTDS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 to 250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemp:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24°C \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eTank Equipment\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sponge Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubstrate: \u003c\/strong\u003eInert Substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater: \u003c\/strong\u003eDecolorinated Tap Water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelling size 0.8-1cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe can’t ship Livestock and Live Plants to WA and TAS due to State Restrictions. Kindly check out our DOA and other policies before purchase!!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat to Expect from Us\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEverything comes with a 100% live arrival guarantee!!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther things to consider before placing an order:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCheck to see if your tank has enough space.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnsure your tank is fully cycled.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnsure your new livestock is compatible tank mates for any other fish you currently have (in terms of habitat, species, requirements, temperament, and size)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnsure that your water parameters, habitat and temperature are suitable for the species you want to introduce.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDo not stock your tank too quickly, or suddenly a large influx of fish can unbalance your water parameters that will affect the water quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDo not feed your new fish for 24hrs.

This means setting up a shrimp tank setup that's perfect for them to live well. The tank size is very important. We suggest a tank of at least 10 gallons (38 litres) for a small group of shrimp. This size gives them enough room to swim and lets you add live aquarium plants and decorations for a planted aquarium look. The substrate is also key. Use fine gravel or sand mixed with nutrient-rich soil. This gives your shrimp a good base to burrow and graze. Make sure the substrate is clean and has no sharp edges to hurt your shrimp. Filtration is vital for keeping the water clean. A sponge filter or a hang-on-back filter with low flow is best. It won't stress your shrimp with strong currents. Live plants also help filter the water and give your shrimp places to hide. Remember to add important equipment like a heater and thermometer to keep the water at the right temperature. Good lighting is also needed for the live aquarium plants to grow. With the right shrimp tank setup, you'll have a thriving colony of Green Jade Cherry Shrimp in your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEssential Water Parameters for Green Jade Cherry Shrimp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping the right water conditions is key for our freshwater shrimp, like the Green Jade Cherry Shrimp.

Is Phosphorus good or bad for an aquarium? Well, it can be both, depending on the circumstances. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of the main reasons for algae bloom is an excess level of phosphorus in the aquarium. Most of the time algae take over a tank because of nutrient imbalance in the water. Algae require the same nutrients as our beloved plants do. Algae consume nitrogen, potassium, iron and other nutrients too. But an algae bloom occurs when all these nutrients are present in excess quantities in the aquarium. As there is a large amount of leftover nutrients, algae grow quickly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the sources of phosphorus?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs we know, an excess level of phosphorus tends to grow more algae. Now, the question is how phosphorus comes to our aquarium? A good source of phosphorus can be the water that is supplied by your city. In some parts of the country, water contains an excess level of phosphorus. What is this excess level? Well, anything beyond barely detectable can be excess. Another source of phosphorus can be the fertilizer that you dose in the aquarium. Almost every aquarium fertilizers contain most of the nutrients that are required by the plants. But some fertilizer brands deliberately omit phosphorus as they encourage algae growth. Another source of phosphorus is fish food. Fish food is manufactured to provide balanced nutrients to the fish. Fishes need many nutrients for healthy growth. They need protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus and many other nutrients. Almost every fish food contains 0.5 to 1.0 % phosphorus. You need to check the food label to know how much phosphorus it contains. The less phosphorus there is, the better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo, when we provide fish food to the aquarium, fishes eat some. They discard the rest via their waste. A recent study showed that fish waste contains an excess amount of phosphorus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoving Phosphates from Aquarium:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e=\u0026gt;By maintaining a light quantity of fish, we can lower the amount of phosphorus in the aquarium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e=\u0026gt;Overfeeding leads to excess waste in the aquarium. As a result, there will be excess phosphorus in the water column. Overfeeding also results in poor water quality. So, you need to feed your fish in small amounts. A good way to check if you are overfeeding is if there is any leftover food on the substrate.

These shrimp are very active as they scavenge the tank, cleaning up waste and leftover food. They love to feed off of naturally occurring biofilm and algae, especially in a planted tank. For this reason, they can be quite low maintenance; in fact, they can even help keep your tank clean! Fire Red Shrimp can withstand a pretty wide range of water parameters, and their life expectancy can be up to 2 years if they are kept well. These shrimp are eager breeders, making them a great choice for beginners to freshwater shrimp breeding.

Interestingly, these snails can be a food source for some fish. Fish like loaches and cichlids can eat them. This adds to the fish's diet, improving their health.
