Re: [GSAS-Member] cuttlebone or not

Is it the calcium that supposedly help the shrimp or am I just using the
cuttlefish to raise my water hardness and THAT is what helps the shrimp?

Cuttlebone is not really bone but rather shell. cuttlebone come from squid
which are 'directly' related to a relict group of animals called ammonites.
The nautilus is one of the two remaining living species in this group. Maybe
someone can explain the chemistry on this but squid die by the thousands
regularly in the ocean. You are talking about freshwater shrimp, so
obviously it will harden your water, but it shouldn't be toxic. Personnally
I think there are better ways to raise your hardness or alkalinity.
