Re: New Tank!

Unfortunately, my shrimp have been slowly dying. I got some test strips to see if it was something obvious, but the first one came back normal. I convinced myself on Monday that I had at least one female left, and that she and the remaining two males could still, potentially reproduce. Well, today, ...

New Tank!

Hello all, I'm pretty sure this is my first time posting, but I've been a customer since about 2013-ish. I recently set up a new tank, and I'd figured I'd share. BMhGcIKGSeeuJb6IkLsn1w.jpg I let it set up a little long (more than two months :smt005 ) before finally adding shrimp in last week, so it'...
