Your tanks look awesome! Congratulations on the babies!! I just started my first Crystal Red tank. My shrimp have been growing so quickly and I'm so excited to have babies! When I see my first berried female I won't be able to contain my excitement haha! I love this hobby.

Do you have the crystals yet?

Yes. I've had some of them for a month and a half and I got some more about two weeks ago. I wanted to start with a decent population from a few different sources. I have S,S+,SS, and SSS grades. I also have a few Snow White caridina.
 
They look awesome! How did you prepare their water? I know they need acidic water and that's the thing that always kept me from getting them.

I do 1 part tap water and 3 parts RO water with an end pH at 6.8.
 
This is actually after a huge trimming of plants. They were taking over.
