Several molts, fully intact. Everyone healthy and eating well.

They look very good against the black substrate, it makes them easy to see! Hopefully they do well, they look healthy. Simon

New Orange Rilis and one mama is already berried!

I'm glad things are working out for you.

Update on my shrimps: I had 5 successful batches of baby shrimp, I now have about 100. The babies are now old enough and getting berried. I now have 2 berried shrimp that came from the shrimps offspring that I have purchased. I think within a month I should have at least 20 berried shrimp. My algae problem went away after covering the back of the tank, it was the sun causing the algae. I also stopped doing water changes to keep the parameters as stable as possible maybe 2 months ago? My TDS is only at 200. I feed them a lot of food every day and my nitrates, ammonia, nitrites stay at 0 because of the heavy plant coverage.

Hello So I got the new shrimps. Unfortunately all died within 3 days except perhaps 2 or 3. I am now thinking that the wood that I introduced was treated with some kind of chemical or pesticide :(. I have no other thing in mind, as my water parameters seem fine. NH2, NH3, NH4 = 0 PH = 6.5 TDS: 100 I think also the soil got polluted because I noticed shrimps do not stay very long on it. Do you think that this is a possibility: that the soil 'absorbed' all pesticides or any potential damaging chemicals? I have no other choice than to restart from scratch everything. Really upset with all of this. Next setup with be iwagumi. No wood anymore! Thanks for your support!
