I am moving my shrimp from a 30g to a 40g, keeping all the plants, cholla & *trees* but changing the substrate from large pebbles which are a PITA to clean as they collect crap between them WAY to easy, even with food dishes. I am wondering if the packets of Bio Magnetic Clarifier liquid that came with the gravel are shrimp safe as the water is distinctly murky right now. I know it is *fish* safe but I'm a little more paranoid about adding *chemicals* to my shrimp tank.
Perfect it is CaribSea so that's good to know. Between the stupid Chilies I was told were shrimp friendly and the Assasin Snails my colony *seems* horribly depleted from what I can see so I'm super paranoid about getting this *new* tank as perfect as possible. I'm hoping when I start moving everyone theres fry hiding in the moss I haven't seen, but not holding my breath.
I always throw the leftovers into a bucket / or leave in the old tank with a bubbler and some Prime to help mitigate any nitrates, just in case I happen to see any babies moving around later.
Often done cup by cup checking for shrimp fry.
Hope you get some rest.
