Looks like the white thing is a Malaysian trumpet snail.

That white thing was a piece of food for them. Lol. It grew from the biofilm. I also just got my order of shrimp in. It came with a string inside. I’m assuming I toss that out?

[SuperProofer]

Yes, toss the string.

[Nellyville41]

Yes, toss the string.

Thanks!

I hope there’s enough algae for these guys.

[Vorteil]

By bad. I thought you were referring to the snail.

[Nellyville41]

Here’s the setup!

Here’s a picture of my upgraded 3gal tank. Waiting for stuff build up before adding the little ones. Also does anybody know what that “webbing” is?!? It stretches around the rocks and from the macroalgae. Thanks

Nellyville - there were a couple more posts discussing webbing showing up in tanks.

Thank you very much. Informative read.

Some more pics. 2 of them shedded their exoskeletons! Lol

Floating macroalgae. Still waiting for some signs of regular algae

Give it a few more weeks and it'll happen eventually. My guess is that if your snails are happily grazing around that your tank is already ready for shrimp. But you can wait for the algae to be 100 percent sure.

Thanks! I think I’m going to go ahead and pull the trigger for the 3 gal tank. I still don’t see signs of algae but it’s probsbly microscopic. This tank has been setup for like 5 weeks now.

Why does the shrimp do this to the snail? Lol
