Also I just noticed my berried shrimp lost about half her eggs. Could the copepods be bothering her to the point where she releases/"loses" some of her eggs? Her color doesn't seem as good either. I'm worried that the eggs might not hatch :( I guess I'll have to wait and see. Hopefully th...

Hi everyone. I have a six week old tank that is still technically cycling. I have 10 snails and one clump of macroalgea from Mustafa in there. No algea growth of my own tho, so I felt bad for the snails and put it in like 1/50th of a tiny spoon of spirulina powder. Well, even that proved too much a...

And some more here, too!!

Here are some pictures of my shrimp!!

You could take him out and put him in a glass with some brackish water. Hate to call DOA too soon, and this way he gets a chance to wake up without polluting your new tank. How are the shrimp settling in? If he's dead, won't the shrimp just eat him? Is he really polluting? I'll leave him in overnig...

He's still just floating

Hi Flipper, Thank you for your help in my posts. Your green rock looks really good, I wish I can have one inthe end and catch up with your progress. Do you know the perfect salinity for supershrimps? I keep mine at between 1.008-1.01. Mustafa said he will be adding my region soon, And I will post p...

Hi Friends,
One of my snails is floating... He didn't come out of the bag willingly, I had to (very gently) push him out. Anyways, he hasn't sunk yet. Do some snails float or is this one dead?

They'll be great! Mine went from San Diego to Vermont and they were packed really well. Never knew what hit 'em :) Looking forward to the Wednesday pics. THEY'RE HERE!! How long should I let them float? I just cut a little hole in the bag and let in some water, then I let them out....My mom got the...

Thank you!! I hope to develop it further this summer. I’m SO excited for my critters to arrive tomorrow.

Haha. Well, I enjoy the look of them and they're safe for aquarium use so I'd like to leave them in. I was just making sure having them slightly above the water was okay. I couldn't think of any downside but I'm very new to this so I don't want to do anything wrong! Sorry if it's a silly question. ...

Salutations! Been lurking in the forum for a while and finally taking the plunge into cycling a tank myself. Just had a quick question about my setup. I have some leaves from a felt plant slightly rising above the waterline. Is there any negative repercussion to this? I want to ensure I don't jeapo...

Whew...
Thank you!

Hi everyone!! SO, I introduced Mustafa's snails on Thursday and everything seems to be going fine. I can usually see like 3 snails at a time hanging out, they burrow and stick to my walls. ALSO, there is a snail that is inside Mustafa's macroalgea. Like, the little guy has been there for some days....
