Just like to share some inhabitants in my new 4ft tank. Suffered a heavy lost of my TBs and mishlings while waiting for my new tank to setup and cycle but some survived. Hoping they will be alrite and start to breed again for me in their new environment Enjoy :)

Cheers JC. I am hoping :) These OEBT females are cross with Royal Blue Tiger male. Hopefully will get some Royal babies.

Thanks Ineke. Tigers were in their own tank so didn't loose them but the mishlings and TBs suffered during the wait.

Well done, looks awesome. Why the lost whilst the new tank was cycling ? What happened ? Looks like you're off to a flying start.

Thanks Marcus. Hopefully the colonies will recover. I had them all in a 2L internal breeding box for too long. I think they died of stress.

I like that female tiger, I have one here in my house (if you guys know what I mean;).

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      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.
