I had to share lol, I've lost a couple of sw and a couple of pumpkins in last 2 weeks from a nitrate spike (daughter overfeeding) so I'm stoked to see her berried. But now the wait begins to see what comes out, the snow whites have some mishling genes a couple of generations ago and I have a male f6 mishling and male crystal rilli in the tank

So pot luck lol

Waiting waiting waiting lol.

No pic yet as she's hiding under the sponge filter but I will put one up as soon as I can.

Cheers mick

Thanks peeps, it'll be happy if all the shrimplets are as white as her.

I will be stoked if she throws a Tb or crystal rilli.

Cheers mick

Made an Amateur mistake and plugged the heater into the lighting circuit which is on a timer.

I found two sw dead this morning and the tank was 14 degrees.

Luckily the berried female survived.

Bummer dude, but at least you've got the girl still, should get some nice ones to replace them.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      Thanks, day 2 in the tank and the shrimp seem fine (not done roll call yet today), I saw 9 (got 11) yesterday and no dead bodies  so I 'assume' the other 2 were hiding somewhere. I drip acclimated them over night so they had a longer acclimate and hopefully that helped, but it is early days yet, however so far so good. I am looking forward to getting blue bolts at the end of the week but I doubt they will be as pretty as yours, but at this point I will be happy enough as long as they survive. That will be the lot this time so I am calling this tank 'bruiser tank' as it will only be mixed 'black and blue' shrimps!  I don't have any rocks this time just some small pieces of lava rock. The tests I did yesterday show KH is 0-1 (you can't test for 0 obviously) and PH was 7 on the drop test but the disc meter thing in the tank shows yellow so should be below 7 (the nearest match I think is 6.6) but all the test kits show in stages, and it can be difficult to tell when they are just different shades of the same colour. The seller of the shrimps said his tanks were PH 6.8 so we are at least closely matched. GH should go down slowly with the regular water changes/maintenance etc so hopefully the shrimp can handle it being a little high temporarily, seller had GH 5-6 (I assume 6 drops) and mine is just on 7. I am pleased with the sparser/simpler tank and the fact I can just glance over and see it when I am in my usual seat is great. I have a stick on thermometer so shouldn't have a similar disaster to before and have the heater set cooler at 21 this time, though in summer the tank will go above that most of the time. Hope everything is fine with yours!

      Good luck.  I hope the Ph / KH issue is under control.  If not... Maybe use peat? Edit:  looking at a previous picture - maybe you should just remove those rocks for now

      My lil emerald green. It's a lot harder taking macro shots with 15mm glass tanks.
