Very nice tank! As I have said before I am a big fan of spheres. Can't wait for the water to clear. Keep the pictures coming.

Black and Blue oooohh now we are talking!

I would wait the two days. Don't see how moving them to another container wouldn't cause more stress.

Drkirk nice tank and congrats on the berried female. Nice little reference book. Thanks for sharing.

I believe to err on the side of caution . Rushing may cause a problem. If there is not an emergency then wait a few weeks. Remember while our shrimp are very tolerant of adverse conditions they are still shrimp. And shrimp are sensitive to change. My two cents.

That is a shame. It has b en said before the shrimps first clutch of eggs is sometimes lost. Keep us updated if you see more. I am quite interested.

Having one nerite and such a pretty one I would leave it. Once most of the visible food is gone they will eat less and poop less.
