First Molt that I've seen too!

I just saw her again today, wasn't able to confirm how many berries but looked like a few more, not sure if that is possible.

So I haven't seen the berried shrimp today. When they release the babies, do they sink down into the substrate for a few days before becoming floaters?

Check it out

OMG, I just noticed today that I have at least 1 berried shrimp. I guess that means i'm going it right!

My Shrimp are doing fine now thanks for asking. In my original order of shrimp i asked for and received some older ones i.e. bigger. Those were the ones that survived in general. The second order of shrimp were all really small. So I have a group of large red shrimps and then about 3 times as many r...

I like the tank you chose. I have the 4 gallon Biorb tank shaped like a globe. I filled mine to the brim and then noticed water got in the light, but it still works. I cut the plastic cylinder down a few inches to accommodate centering the looking glass ball i have featured in the tank. The backflow...

It's quite a bit of bubbles, i've rotated the tank barely and a bunch rise up from underneath the rocks. You were right bout the biofilm being there, i don't normally see it unless water has evaporated. Any reason to attempt to remove it? I've got 2 of these plant balls and one of the macroalgea, th...

Interesting, thanks for the response. They both sank after a day or two of floating. out of nowhere I've had all of these tiny bubbles form near the top of the tank on the sphere. I just thought it odd because for the past several weeks the tank has not had any bubbles that I noticed. any thoughts o...

After many days of my moss balls sitting on the bottom, they have now both floated up to the top. Is this a common occurrence?

So I received 10 additional shrimps about 13 days ago. All shrimp are alive. My macro algae has now turned back green. The blue sphere I have in middle of tank is now clean from algae due to shrimp I presume. I've also quit leaving the tank light on all night, where as a month ago I was. I've put a ...

I did use Seachem's "Stability" according to the label when my tank first started cycling.

So I lost ~32 of 40 shrimp. I think things have stabilized now. The only explanation I have is that the addition of 40 shrimp to 4 gallons of water caused a spike in ammonia that I didn't have enough bacteria to process. I did a 1/2 water change when I saw the first dead shrimp, and have done 2 sinc...

Coming from the pool maintenance world i say that this is impossible, baring someone actually putting chlorine in the tank. Test trips are notoriously bad at detecting proper amounts of anything. If you really want to test for chlorine you'll need an FAS-DPD chlorine test kit. Here is some info on t...

Dead shrimp?, i have two doing this...
