started w 20 shrimp and 10 snails. id say there’s about 60-80 shrimp now and like 40-50 snails.

honestly either, but mostly the shrimp

okay thanks for that. my biggest concern was the population thing that’s a big relief.

Hi all, recently I just noticed a few MTS have been crawling out of the water on to the glass of my tank. It's been running for a few years now and this has never happened before. I'm sure they were dead so I removed them. Any idea why this happened. Another completely unrelated question, I have thi...

Make sure not to knock it over

Ok cool

I started with 20 I'd say there's like 45 now

I've got a 2.5 gallon cookie jar that's been going well for about two years but I'm thinking will there ever be a time where they will overproduce the tank? Or do they stop and reach a balance on their own, thanks

That's true. My only concern was the ammonia levels and they seem to be around zero for now, but thank you all.

Makes sense. What do you suggest

It's a 2.5 gallon and I think it's been almost 3 years since I've started it. I'd say there's 35-40 shrimp and and like 20 snails. Very rough estimate though. The last time I fed it was probably around 3 months ago and a total of 3 or 4 times before that. I fed one or two flakes of normal fish food ...

Yeah that's what I was thinking about the minerals, they get reused. The calcium source is aragonite as the substrate and I'm pretty my lighting may have been too bright.

That seems like a good idea but I don't want to mess anything up. Is that the only minerals get into the tank? I wonder what Mustafa would say

Alright thanks

Oh damn. How do you get more nutrients in there and if it's dead will it affect the amonia?
