Eh...Yes and no. I have everything for a SW tank still. That wont change. I refuse to get rid of good quality equipment.
I like the planted tanks for the fast return on investment. This tank is not even 4 months old yet. I couldn't get this kind of growth in a SW Reef no mater what I did.

I've never had it before this tank so I don't know if this is normal or not.

Yes! I didn't think they would do this in FW. I thought they only bred in SW...

Well, they can have eggs in fresh water, but like ghost shrimp the eggs hatch first into a larval stage of life and then in brackish water develop into baby shrimp. In nature, the shrimp live in mountain streams and travel to brackish water bodies to have release eggs. Normally, I just take amanos having eggs as an indicator that they love your tank and it's healthy.

Yeah I did some reading after I posted. I'm not even going to try and deal with getting them to survive. Way more work that I have time for.
Just a joy to see your tank and how lush and beautiful it is. Good show anyway for the Amanos!
