Thank you! I moved my beetles home to work on a breeding project, and now the Opae Ula aquarium is looking pretty algified. Just a step in the process though.

Thank you! Like Opae Ula, these beetles are among the easiest office pets. ;-)

I’ve been keeping and breeding these shrimp for more than a decade, yet I am still ecstatic when I spot the first berried female in this new setup. :lol:

Here is a very short video clip one of two berried females in the tank. The very pale Opae had just been introduced to the aquarium.

Really nice setups! I especially like how you used a photo of the natural habitat for the tank background. I think I’m going to have to switch out the background for my tank now!

You can never have too many tanks. It is always "I don't have enough tanks".
