Hi all. Would have loved to do updates here with photos and all but i just keep having problems with the dimensions of the photos and they refuse to be uploaded. They are doing pretty well I must say and the newcomers are so much redder than the pioneers. Amazing creatures to watch!

Currently, my water surface is a bit cloudy. Basically there are two groups of shrimps: many of those who love to swim at the water surface and those who dwell at the bottom and scrape through the gravel and surfaces. Those that are at the surface seems to be doing the same thing as those at the bottom and will come down after a while. It's just surprising that so many of them enjoy the water surface. This happened particularly after I added some beneficial bacteria to the water. Does your shrimps do the same?

Thanks for bringing that up! The default attachment limit was 5MB. I just increased it to 6. Nobody should need more than that actually. It's usually best to just decreasing the size of the picture in a simple image editor (usually comes with your operating system) which will also decrease file size. Then there should be no problem with uploads. It seems like you're uploading some giant pictures there that are much bigger than most people's screens in their original versions (before the browser decreases its size). If file size is unlimited before long the disk quota on the server for this website would be filled.

Hey Mustafa! Thanks for the response and reply. I was uploading files of around 3 to 4 mb actually but its dimensions just not seem to fit according to the system and hence the upload failed. I am using my Samsung S7 Edge to take photos and some photos could be uploaded but some could not; I could not really figure out the difference between the files to cause an upload failure.
A big thank you for maintaining this forum to get the exchange of information going!

Week 3 in the new tank. They seem to be doing very well. Happily red and swimming about after feeding some spirulina for the first time. They wiped it clean in minutes!
I'm still having trouble uploading photos but really wanna share so many with you guys. Check out my Instagram account @ opaeohana or facebook account "Opae Ohana" for them

Hmmm...I'm not really sure what exactly the problem is. There is no limit for image dimensions, just size. If you want you can send me a screenshot of the error you're getting via private message. If I can't diagnose the problem from there, then you can send me one of the images you can't upload (via Email which I can provide over private message) so I can take a look. Nobody else seems to have this problem.

@ Mustafa, I have emailed you. Thank you!
Looking forward to share more photos with all of you

One lucky file managed to be uploaded. Yay!
Re: New tank here as well. Suggestions are welcomed :)
Just curious, is there any lighting limitation to our opae ula tank? Is it 'harmful' if there's too much light or that the light is too strong?
Re: New tank here as well. Suggestions are welcomed :)
No usually...except if you suddenly expose the macroalgae or mossballs to much stronger light they may suffer (and possibly die..at least partially).
Re: New tank here as well. Suggestions are welcomed :)
Almost 1 month in the tank. Shrimps are red healthy and happy only managed to attach these 3 photos amongst many that I took. Somehow seeing far less moulting going on; hopefully is a case where they are eaten faster than I could have seen them
Re: New tank here as well. Suggestions are welcomed :)
Looks like your moss balls are faring pretty well too!
Re: New tank here as well. Suggestions are welcomed :)
I must have not been staring at my tank long enough but I'm spotting lesser moulting now despite having about 40 shrimps in there. Surely I should have caught some moults with this many, even before they have gobbled the moults up. Is this because they have fully acclimated and adapted to the salinity and new environment and hence they are moulting far less? Or is there some other reasons? How often do they moult naturally?
Re: New tank here as well. Suggestions are welcomed :)
You and I are having the same issue; not catching them in the I actually of molting. I've only seen a molted skin once but I know they have to be molting 'cause they are clearly bigger than they were when I first got them.
Since you and I both have OHKO/dragon stone maybe our rockscape is providing them with lots of places to hide while molting? I can only imagine in nature you wouldn't want to expose yourself when you are that vulnerable.
I'm hoping for some berried ones soon but I got to be patient.

Hey ohko stone buddy! Yeah. I can't really keep track with their sizes. Hahaha. Their growth doesn't look significant to my eyes :p Still patiently waiting for good news from my opae too! At least they seem to be doing well. Red and active.
