i would suggest putting a fan to cool down the temperature really..as the water can get quite hot during the day....most shrimps prefer cooler water

where can I get horn snails? Do they eat green algae? I once bought a snail from NA (brownish color) from NA and it infested my whole tank with baby snails. I cant find any info/picture on beehorn snail.. =(

Is there any beehorn snail in this link? http://www.leopardaquatic.com/shrimpsnail.html
