Re: Dust algae
I’ve been creating a new tank for my friend and in the last week have noticed a dark Kelly Green algae growing everywhere. Is this dust algae? I had it near a plant with a grow light so I’ve turned that lamp off but it’s still spreading.

Re: Some up close and personal pics!
My snails are reproducing like crazy as well! I'm starting to get worried b/c I only have a half gallon tank and the 5 I put in it are at least 25 in less than 1 year :( That being said, my shrimp are reproducing a bunch lately too, so I guess I just had a bunch of great algae in the half gallon tan...

Re: Macro Algae turning white
Yes! Sorry I didn’t update sooner, but both mommas released their babies-I’d say about 10 each! Here’s a pic of some of them when they were in the floating stage 😬 Lately I’ve seen two of them as little tiny shrimp but don’t see any of the other babies. Could they all be hiding? Could they have been...

Re: Macro Algae turning white
Very cool! Momma #1 still has all her eggs and tonight I have a 2nd berried shrimp! It’s a regular maternity ward in my tank now!

Re: Macro Algae turning white
My snails arrived but I’m worried that if I add them to my tank the momma shrimp might drop her eggs. I put them in my cycling tank instead. When will it be safe for me to add some to the tank with the berries shrimp?

Re: Macro Algae turning white
I noticed the momma is doing something weird with the eggs that makes them move a lot. I’m wondering if I’m actually watching her squeezing them out??

Re: The wait is over! Found a berried shrimp!
Congrats! I just got my first berried shrimp after 2 years and I hope she holds on to her eggs! How long did it take after you noticed your berried shrimp before the larvae hatched?

Re: Macro Algae turning white
I know it looks like a wineglass, but it holds a half gallon. I have a second tank I’m cycling now that holds a gallon. So I ordered snails from you to help clean/eat the brown algae on my tank walls, but lo and behold today I have my first berries shrimp!! I’ve had this tank for over 2 years and fi...

Re: Macro Algae turning white
I have 12 super shrimps in it. The brown thing is a seafan or something that was in the ecosphere with some of my shrimps. I thought I had a bunch of algae bc it’s growing all over the seafan thing and bc the walls look a little brown. I have recently given them a shrimp pellet that I drop in and th...

Re: Macro Algae turning white
Hmmm, I have mine near a window so it gets indirect sunlight all day. I don’t have a light over it, but I do turn on the ceiling lights in the room at night. I find it so frustrating to not know exactly what went wrong ya know? Thank you for your input though. I’m going to try and remove the dead ma...

Re: Macro Algae turning white
Should I remove it if it’s dead? I have left it in to see if it would rebound, but I’m worried that decomposing plant life is bad for my tank, right?

Re: Macro Algae turning white
Any help as to what I did wrong to kill it so that I don’t let it happen again?
