A simple 3 gallon square

Just follow the step by step guide on this site. Don’t need to worry about anything else! The more you try to do, the more you will mess it up. Simple is best. As for your decorations and holes, they’re fine. The shrimps will love a place to hide especially if they’re berried.

Yes. It’s normal. All of the air bubbles are coming out from your tank.

Congrats! All you want to do is top off the water. I did too and feed one time and the berried female eventually dropped all of her eggs while the other berried female held onto them.

I did follow that to the letter. When I jostled the tank a bit, air bubbles trapped in the substrate did come out. Sounds like those air bubbles are the source of the smell. 6/4 was 1 week since the water was set up, 6/8 will be one week with plants. So maybe 6/15 I will be about ready for shrimp i...

Update: this afternoon the snail who has been presumed dead emerged! :-D the last time I saw it, was on March 17th, the day I added it to the tank! Honestly, I was beginning to worry that my shrimp don’t have enough to eat and have been debating feeding a tiny tiny amount for the first time. Do you...

So one of the pregnant females lost all of her berries. This one still has a decent amount. Here’s an upclose and you can see the eyeballs inside the eggs.
