Thanks for the helpful replies. I haven’t tested GH or KH. I know the purpose of the Shrimp Essentials is for these parameters. I figure adding this to RO water should provide the required water quality. The medium used is Fluval brand and some kind of Japanese volcanic gravel ideal for shrimp. Temperature is really reliant on our home temperatures, but we keep a consistent 65-68 F. Yes, these snails appear to be bladder snails (hitchhiked from a pond). If they’re not eating mystery snail eggs and are generally controlled, I am hoping that they are harmless. Diet-wise they really go for the dehydrated veggie-egg cakes I made in addition to the Aqueon pellets. With such a small tank, I don’t feed them often as I don’t want it funk things up. Let me know your thoughts on the Cory cats. I don’t want them eating up all the offspring. ill just keep taking care of my babies as best I can. I’ve got my 10-gallon currently setup as a hydroponic seed starting station. So once I get my garden plants outside, most of my aquatic friends will enjoy a new home, maybe big enough to reproduce.
