Hi!
When I set up tank for c. ensicauda, I took some plants from my shrimp tank and there were two hitchhikers...first I thought that's just nice as I've not had them before with newts and it made the tank more lively while newts were just relaxing on the leaves and waiting for next meal. But now then, they were a male and a female and the baby production has begun! How do you clean your tanks without catching those tiny creatures which are incredibly hard to see (mine are "domestic" type with grayish or invisible colour)??? It's uncomfortable I might be throwing them away with the waste water. I tried to have a mesh on the siphon but then it doesn't suck away the waste, either. It's a bare bottom tank so that's what I'd like to get rid of since it doesn't look that nice - and of course to keep the water parameters well, too.
Thanks in advance if you have any suggestions!
