HC will be on the bottom level with EB on the top level and moss in the top of the trees..... thinking of something to make a hedge on each side of the stair case...

That's a very cool design, I like it a lot.

Just wondering if you checked to make sure the rocks themselves don't change any of the water parameters? or is it natural slate?

thanks guys... ok it is a foam base with tiles on it... I cut the foam to what i wanted keeping in mind the tils sizes so i did not have to muck around cutting too many tiles. Then gave the foam 4 coats ofa black water proofing pond sealer... Siliconed the tiles on then gave it 4 more coats of a clear pond sealer and had to let it sit for 7 days... Put it in the tank in place and filled it up with aqua soil then the water with no water ager or anything to let the chlorine clean the everything... Just put some water ager in and running till next week when i will drain everything and start again...

Was thinking hc on the front low section and EB grass stuff on the top with moss as the trees. But I hate HC and can never get it to grow so thinking changing to something else just not sure what...

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?

      Right now this tank only has blue bolts and golden bee (red bolts?).  The eggs start off all brown, but at the end, I notice that some are kind of a clear pink-ish color.  So I don't know if that is the egg color of dud or golden bee.  Picture of shrimp only about half hour before molting. The water is always RO + remineralizer, so it should be ok. The tank seems to still be on a "good streak" ever since I started the regimen of weekly water change, monthly gravel vac and plant trim.  The point being to keep the amount of waste low and removing moss / floating plants so that the nitrates go towards growing algae.  At one point, I had three berried females, but only netted about half dozen babies by the end, due to this early molting problem.  There might be about 30-40 shrimp total in 5 gallons, but still very few full-sized adults.
