Can't use java moss. Your salinity is too high.

Java fern will just die out and throw off your waters parameters. The salinity is too high for java fern. How new is the set up?

Amano larvae in FW will die within 48hrs. Your pic is of a copepod. Can you post better or additional pics?

That pic is not of an amano larvae.

There's nobody else who has bred Amanos in FW let alone raising them in full SW at the larvae stage. They need to be fed phytoplankton and there's no food source in your tank. Also that is not a pic of a baby shrimp. I assume some type of pod.

Not possible.

Also the shrimp are used to a wide range in fluctuations. Salinity changes won't affect the shrimp.

That kinda looks like hair algae to me. Def. not the chaeto that you see being sold here.

It's a 3 watt LED that came with the jar

Best places for these shrimp to hide are lava rocks. I've seen other use mangrove and it worked well for them.

Yes rare. You don't see that color available or for sale other than here on PS

It's fine. You don't need to drip acclimate. What kind of water did you use?

Just built a new gallon jar with around 20 Opae Ula. It has a 3 watt LED

You’re overthinking it. What type of water did you use? RO or distilled. If you did it’s pure and more than likely void of any harmful pests. I can’t think of anyone that had harmful pests in their tanks due to the normal set up like PetShrimp advises.

I think that YouTube video caters to FW tanks. I've never seen any of those survive or appear in brackish tanks. I even feed dragonfly nymphs to my Alpha Opae Ula and they don't survive in brackish. Then again they get eaten pretty quickly.
