I love the mushrooms

Well! It's been almost two years since my last post! I meant to update when I added the other two! It was VERY dramatic! I almost lost one. It was my husband and I's anniversary but that was in September 2020 and we were not able to celebrate our ten year so we busted some shrimp free of their gross...

Hi Dch48 and Super Jess! The lid does fit tightly so I’ll figure out a solution, I don’t mind opening it daily for air exchange but I may look for some clear bumpers too. That’s a great suggestion. Something to keep in mind when I look for a larger tank. I think I will go for one of the live plants ...

I forgot to say! Apparently there is another “eco sphere” in the family! I’m going to speak with them and see if they are still alive. Now that I have the salt and substrate I can help them set up a new home for their shrimp!

You guys are seriously the best! Thank you! So, he is officially my shrimpy! My sister in law said I could adopt him since I’m quite attached already! So I’m over the moon! This means that I am likely going to upgrade to a 1 gallon tank and order some buddies once the weather is nicer. I have a ques...

Here he is! https://imgur.com/gallery/TnlimUI It’s been a little over 24 hours since putting him in the new tank. He is super tiny! I’m glad the glass magnifies him for viewing pleasure. I noticed he was much more active last night and way more chill during the day. He’s gotten super active again th...

Hiyas!

So it has been four weeks but the tank doesn't look much different.Not sure how to tell if it is ready. I did the flash light against the bowl, might look a bit smudgy on the inside, but not green.

How do I know it's ready? I don't want the little guy to starve!

Thanks! I'll find out in a couple of weeks. I decided to bring him up with the tank is ready

Heya! ooooo! I didn't think of modifying decorations! That's a great idea! I'll def move the tank to a calmer place before putting Bubba Gump in so he's not startled by all the wiggles and jiggles :) I'm still not sure if he'll be living with me or my sister inlaw but I'll make sure to pass on info ...

:smt006 SuperJess, you ARE super! LOL I am notoriously terrible at google searches but i'm not sure how I missed that! :shock: I might stop in tomorrow, I should be out that way. I'd like to get some kind of rock or hidey-hole for the little guy. I'll post a pic once I've added that, right now it's ...

Thanks Dch48

I also bought the 10 gallon box of salt.

I can't wait to get i all set up

I ended up buying a big bag of Aragonite, Carib Sea brand and sea salt by Instant Ocean.LOL I actually saw both products at Petco but wasn’t sure the sea salt was appropriate. I found a video by Aquarimax on YouTube later that night. It was super informative and he recommended this site :) In his vi...

Hi Kval and Super Jess! Thanks so much for the suggestions! I went to petco the next town over but didn’t have any luck with supplies. They only had huge bags, so I’m going to have to go the online route. Possibly even order here :) Petco has no idea what I was talking about, so I directed them here...

Hi, My name is Jen. I am cat sitting for a family member and I saw a little shrimp ball that looks terrible. I figured they were all dead but I jiggled it around a bit and there one in there. The water is half gone and it's all cloudy/murky filled with poop I guess. She has had it for years, though ...
