Learning to swim. It fell down after certain distance , I guess it's the water depth and bigger tank, they will take time handle compare to a small jar.
But they never give up.

Re: Simply try out another tank
Thanks again for the pics! As for the snail and the cyanobacteria...I don't doubt your snail is eating whatever is in your tank. I just know it's most likely not the nasty, smelly, silky, dark green cyanobacteria species that frequently infests tanks. Aquarists have been on the lookout for something that eats that stuff for decades.
Re: Simply try out another tank
My tank remains the same other than increasing small population of the young ones. I've been missing for awhile because I've been busy.
The mating kept going sometimes 2 days in a roll sometimes once a week.
Here are few shots within 5 minutes watching them mating. Sorry I'm abit pervy on this lmao

- (3) And another attempt. I believe this is a fail attempt too. Look at the male suddenly fainted or lack of energy letting loose. I'm assuming he though t he was in a good position to ejaculate but she kicked him off and he wasted it all in the water column. Okay maybe i imagine too much :p lol

- Another attempt (2) fail

- An attempt (1) fail
Re: Simply try out another tank
Wow those are some really good shots!
, which is also one of the reason the tank is left outdoor with no maintenance.Re: Simply try out another tank
Great shots! The third one is definitely a "fail", but the first one and probably even the second one were successful matings. The males don't need much time to deposit their sperm package right next to the females genital openings. A second or two is enough.

I hear "naked" shrimp females (mating happens right after the female molts) are VERY exciting to the males...they can barely hold it together. Plus the female doesn't ever seem too interested in mating....after a long, hard chase it's kinda like: "Ok, ok..fine...i'm tired, you're horny, I REALLY want to rest...just get it over with..QUICKLY!!"
