Nothing. It VANISHED. Ill treat the tank for parasites after she drops eggs.... if no one else berries up. Even then I may treat

Well almost electrocuted myself over a leaky water jug... As well as managing to cut myself SPECTACULARLY working on the canister for my new palladium... Snails out of QT went in the CPD tank. Three assassins and three mystery snails.... shrimp just don't do glass algae! Ordered coral rubble...

DEFINITELY external. It was flopping, looked like a white leech!

Actually I do have aquarium salt on hand. I used to have sevral saltwater tanks, I kept the salt for raising brine if I needed to. Oddly the one on her face disapeared. Had a panic moment when I couldent find her. Shes found the cleverest hiding spot on the tank! I bought a wood peice with java...

The issue is I may or may not be able to get to a lfs tomorrow.... So much is shut down! Yes, I am working on it. Its just a bit slow to come down, I can only change about a gallon a day with the slow drip I use. I try to avoid changing water params and temps quickly. I usually change a half...

My female blue rilli berried up for the first time yesterday. Used the flashlight to check on her (she hangs out behind the filter intake) and she has what looks like the tip of a very active whiteworm on her head! From what I know, its some kind of parasite. I know a short saltwater bath can...

Angels are so much fun, yours are LOVELY! My walterworm culture is producing more than I thought possible, I can easily see them as they climb! Another heavy water change, as I am feeding everything heavy. Still only seen four shrimp at once but the adore the driftwood shelf with java, taken...

Lost one CPD today. I was the smallest runty one. Its belly always looked hollow, I suspect it was simply too young! Both my worm cultures are harvestable now! I will NEVER use oatmeal again, it stinks. BUT feeding them is a joy! Thought I lost all my shrimp, its amazing how fast they...

Got the plants in! Came in an itty bitty box from Marks Aquatics Very well packed in the little baggies. Smart way to ship plants, less weight! Full tank with the plants in. Sorry about the glare the overhead light will be in SOON and will help cut that Top Picture Flame sword...

Bet those are stunning in a darker planted tank! I would be interested in seeing what crosses would do!

They are SO lovely! I remember when I first discovered cherry shrimp, I was in love then and am in love now! Can't WAIT to see the babies!

.... do these guys come in a blue pattern? I am pondering another DIY I saw, a neat shelved waterfall tank. I could raise different shrimp in each one!

Well, depends on your current temperature! I recommend a glass thermometer, they are more accurate than the style you stick on the side! An adjustable heater is best, I honestly wouldn't raise but a degree or two a day if you are worried about shock. Thats slow enough for the most delicate of...

Welcome! I can say I don't know, it for sure could have spooked them but dead shrimp leave little white bodies behind. You really should have a heater, they do prefer it and will thank you with many offspring!

Well, I couldn't get my computer to cooperate. So ill do a few day two pictures... But got them dripped and then in the tank. Left a few min to get some of Omega Ones frozen community diet to thaw. Got to watch the shrimp HAPPILY eat biofilm and a bit of string algae! Fed the thawed food, the...

You are fine of the rambling. And heck, I had to sneak my fish in the house so I wouldn't get yelled at :dance: But goodness they are stunning!

They are a side affect of bad parameters, not bad themselves.

My shipment of fish came in two days ahead of time. I am... Baffled as I will have to pester them again in a day or two to add plants! But I have them aclmating, ill share pictures when I have them settled. I will see how things go, I may have to add a few big mystery snails to clean algae off...

I do not know how carefully it was moved. You do not know if the tank was in good shape before you moved it. Treat it as a new tank, things will go better! Plants well... Its a it late but plants should honestly QT too, things can be on them. Frogs aint hard to keep at all. If you do, I would...

A view of the canister, I intend to get some lava rock and have less filter floss The PVC spraybar. The tank right as I got it running. Note, its rather powerful. The end has a sponge for it, I am just waiting for the silicone to dry before its attached!
