Happy monday everyone! Woke up this morning to a berried female! This will be my first berried female happening due to stable tank conditions! The previous pregnancies were all because i happen to buy shrimps that were already berried! I cant be happier! Here is thanking all of you for guiding me along with your lessons and teachings. I am so happy! It has been quite a journey from multiple shrimp deaths to now a berried female! Thank you[emoji178] Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Since "ellobiopsidae" aka "green fungus" aka "algae" can show up 3 or 6 months later, or even 2 years later, you either need to treat the entire tank and hope you eliminate it or or restart the tank with fresh blood. (new shrimp that are not from imports)

First off, you want a substrate that buffers the pH down around 6.5 or below. Second, the RO water or distilled as recommended. If you have soft water, then a cheap RO machine can work, although the replacement cartridges may be the same amount as a new machine. If you have hard water, then I would recommend a more expensive RO unit. Third, you'll need GH minerals for shrimp. (no KH) Make sure you have a liquid test kit that measures all water parameters, including GH and KH. A TDS meter with calibration solution is also recommended. Sponge filters with an air pump can be used for filtration. It's recommended to get the type that suction to the side of the aquarium.

Fantastic news, you are well on your way now! Simon

Well done @jojowhisky. Many more berried shrimps to come, I'm sure.
