If you're staying with 1 tank you want to cull the male mischlings (I guess once your TB are sexually mature) and eventually cull the female mischlings as well once total TB numbers are up. Then cull any mischings that appear - as your TB will prob not be breeding true yet.

Thanks for the advice.

So in a month's time should I start removing male mischlings? TB should be mature enough to breed.

looking very healty... btw what is TDS? and are u using CO2?

Here's my peacock moss wall starting to grow out. I think this will get lush in a few months time.2012-07-17%2020.26.22.jpgThe other update is I've switched to top ups with mineralised RO water only. Still tweak how I like the water but for now it's got the following;TDS 120GH 5-6KH 0pH 5.6Going to stop water changes for a while and see how that goes. Still have a few berried shrimps and surviving shrimplets around.

Total Dissolvable Solids (TDS)

No CO2 at all. That object is an Oxydator that slowly releases pure oxygen by catalytic conversion of 6% H2O2. These are great for shrimp tanks to maintain higher levels of available oxygen.

As to be expected from Dean's mischlings, I just found a nice Red Wine shrimplet :victorious:

Those TB numbers are increasing all the time. Literally all my adult females are berried continuously at the moment.

Here's what I manage to snap tonight. There should be more TBs but difficult find these tiny shrimplets, especially that RedWine.

Being a TB noob can someone tell what I have?
