Very active shrimps


Matuva

Recommended Posts

Yesterday evening, I put the rest of my tangerine tigers & blue velvet in a new tank. This tank has been cycled during 5 weeks, and after check, NO2 and NO3 are at 0 or not even noticeable by the API test.
Other parameters are :
PH: 6.8 KH: 4, GH: 6

TDS: 110 Water temp: 26°C

I acclimatate the shrimps during 6 hours.

Once I put them in their new tank, they start swimming all around, explore everywhere, and continue swimming all around, very actively. I check this morning, and I found them still swimming all around...

They were very quiet in the old tank. Should I be worried about anything else?

Grats on the successful mating dance!

Always cool to see the shrimp swimming around. Only thing I find weird is 90% of the time they swim past the female when it seems so obvious.

Well, it must have been the Happy Dance you were seeing them do.

 

I don't think so: the blue female was already berried when I put her and the males in the tank, and she was also dancing all around with the male, the male were no more chasing her, just swimming all around.

The tangerine tigers were doing so.

That being said, I checked this noon, and they were more quiet, grazing, swimming quietly, exploring... I might be just too anxious  as I have only 1 blue female and 1 tangerine female left, and don't want to lose them...
