Great! Thank you!

Congrats!

The string can be removed right away. It's just to give them something to hang onto during the shipping process.

Yay!

I was planning on ordering them this week. The temps are finally cool enough in my area to have them delivered.

Two days ago I noticed this brown "dust-like" stuff on my fake plant. This is a new tank I've been cycling since Aug. 27, no shrimp in it yet. Distilled water, Instant Ocean salt (like I used in my other tanks), everything was rinsed in boiling RO water prior to placement. If I move the le...

Are you sure they were dying? Maybe they both just very vigorously molted and were exhausted? Otherwise, is it possible some kind of airborne contaminant found its way into the water?

Unfortunately it looks like my little tank never fully recovered from the construction debacle last year. Whenever females berried, most of the babies never survived. Over time, the population has slowly dwindled down to just 3 shrimps. 😢 So, I recently started cycling a new, larger tank and hope to...

Can you post a picture and explain a little more about how you set up your tank (i.e., what kind of decor, what salt did you use, did you use distilled/RO/tap water)? It would help to try to pinpoint the issues.

Congrats!

Question about noise/vibration: I plan on keeping this tank on my nightstand next to the bed. However, I use Alexa as a white noise generator for sleeping. Do you think it produces a significant enough vibration/noise to disturb the shrimp? I usually have it on thunderstorm sounds which might be a l...

Ah yes, cool. I like it!

I'm curious to see how the shrimp look against the blue plants - I'm thinking of blue decor in the future. You'll have to post more pics when you get your shrimp.

Very nice!

I thought there was a thread for tank pictures, but when I looked for it the other day, I couldn't find it. But agreed, would be nice to have a stickied post so people could get ideas from each other.

Thanks!
