Just an update as it has been a pretty long time. My opae ula are breeding each summer like crazy, I went from 8 oape ula (after the second start) to around 200 right now :-) The aquarium looks pretty nice with all my friends swimming around!:-) Last two years I only have one snail and he seems to b...

Yeah, I am very happy with it!:-) Another question, I had quite some algae on the windows and I added one snail (Nerritina natalensis). The ate all windows clean within a few days, so I have 2 questions: 1) there are no algae anymore on the windows, will it die from starvation and pollute my water? ...

Last year my population evolved from 8 opae ula to 16 (one birth).

After having witnessed birth of 12 baby opae ula 10 days ago, my population went from 16 to 28, and I just spotted another very pregrant opae ula today (see pic)!!! Hoeray!

Mommy shrimp is at this moment giving birth

Indeed, struggled to get a 'clean tank' but it paid off. Last days I was getting a bit worried that there are still no visible algae in the tank (brown diatomes appeared but after entering snails a month ago they disappeared real fast). also my snails are sometimes escaping (but returning to the tan...

Awesome news guys!!!! Berried shrimp spotted

Too bad my pictures are not very good, but I counted around 20 and it seems that it shouldn't be too long before they hatch...

Haven't see this before, haven't seen any berried shrimp eitjer. Is this a good sign? Are they mating? Link to video: https://youtu.b...

Two very nice tanks!

Thank you for the feedback! They indeed don't move for some days but afterwards they just start again crawling around...

Ok good to know, thank you!!:)

Hi all, Update concerning my opae ula. After the brown algae overgrowth (i think it was cyanobacteria) i started a new tank and transfered all rocks after cooking and thoroughly cleaning them. I also transfered the opae ula afterwards. I am afraid I lost two opae in the process (or they died before)...

Situation at this stage: brown algae are still in the tank and after trying to remove as much as possible with a long pincet, they are back and now proceeding to other stones and taking over the tank. Is this still normal? Is this still going to disappear over time? There are two nerrite snails in t...

Hi,
Sorry i cannot help but i trust others can. Would it be possible sending a picture of it?

RIP...
