Why have neocaridina shrimp never been brought into New Zealand?
livingart replied to LeftHookGary's topic in Freshwater
Because we have natives that are at risk of any possible diseases that they could bring in, also a huge crayfish industry as well No import health standard has been developed for them http://www.mpi.govt.nz/importing/overview/import-health-standards/ -
It ate a small squid head today,

So long as you don't live in NZ will be good

Probably one of the most invasive species in the world.

Had a very juvenile School Shark (Tope) brought in today, had been caught in a flounder net and had a bite mark on its right hand gill. Have placed it in the big temperaste tank but had to remove the hermit crabs as they wouldn't leave it alone to settle in properly.

So live rock and a skimmer can suffice? yes with regular water changes as well

Agree it may be caused by ammonia in the water, Do a 25% waterchange and ensure the filter stays on Feeding less and more often will help the system run better and ensue the fish have a better environment
-
Yes you can but I would do a 25% water change every second day for a week afterwards just to ensure any possible ammonia was reduced in the tank
-
Once you have the tank established when adding new fishjust test for ammonia rising and do a water change if necessary, nitrifying bacteria multiply pretty fast

Welcome back

As deep as the construction method allows, I personally would build it 60cm deep

Have added another sump to house skimmer and return pump, this sits under the bigger tank at the back, will take out the trickle filter and add an algae scrubber then turn first compartment into a refugium.

Put tank in place at the end of the 1700 litre tank which is 1.2 metres wide. Moved everything from the small tank over, pair of Mandarins and pair of Bangai. will add more live rock next Then add another sump onto it
