Hi all, I'm back... Been a while all been busy and just moved house this week end. All went well except I had a leak in my main display and then the kids being kids they broke on of the T5's so I spat it and went to grab the 4 foot divided and cracked it.. Awesome fun at 4 pm on a Saturday afternoon.. So got a new tank 4 footer the put the divisions in they are to small by a couple of mm so I will deal with it tomorrow... So what has every one been up to the last couple of months... I have still got my CBS and they are going like crazy and counted around 60 odd and 8 of them were berried... CRS are doing nothing don't know why just keep on feeding them and hope one day they will give me young ones... And have these weird things that I will try to get a clear picture of (only got a bad ones) over the next couple of days...

Funny story about the light now I can laugh about it...lol... He was being a jedi knight mucking around and when I told him to stop being a dipstick with the light he went to put it down and that is when he dropped it... So I told him that what happens when you be silly with things that are not yours which he replied when I was being a jedi it did not break only when you told me to stop and put it down.. So it was my fault.. hahahaa arh kids got to love them...

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By beanbag · Posted

      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?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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?

      Shrimp molting before eggs are hatched

      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.
