Lol hey don't point out the flaws in my approach! ? Truth, a very valid concern.
The 36 gal is cycled and has held parameters fine so I've got a second colony tank if need be. Mucked up by back yesterday pretty good ofc which has stalled new tanks progress. The Matten filters I was bulk cycling have had 3 dozen shrimp on them so they should be good to go too.
The german shrimp were the last available atm so I'm glad I got in on them. Had him hold a week so I can get more tanks up. I will probably ask that the OE white genes be held until I for sure have extra tanks. One of the boa culls was bred in transit I believe so it's paramount I get her in a new tank.
So not to disappoint, there are more ridiculous developments, I've found a direct pipeline to Taiwans Shrimp King in BC which is not so far from me. I can walk the shrimp across the border and save a lot of time and $. Amazing boas and just about every other variety. I'm kinda tapped atm, but here later in summer I'm going to make a trip.
