I hope all is still going well and assume you will be adding the shrimp about now? The new tank will have enough food for a few shrimps for a few weeks but you may want to add a small bit of snowflake for when you are away. It maybe best if you leave instructions to not feed the new tank (very easy to overfeed with only a few shrimps, plus they may not touch the food if there is plenty of yummy biofilm anyway) while you are away as there should be enough in the tank and if someone overfeeds then that could kill the shrimp and/or cause ammonia spike. If you add a small bit of snowflake before your holiday that won't polute the water, but breaks down slowly. Hope you have a great holiday!

12 shrimp were added yesterday of different ages. Taiwans/CRS/ mischlings. I don't plan on feeding until i go away and even then as you said it will just be a small piece of snowflake food as there will still be plenty of food in the tank. Will continue to dose a multipower with helps with water parameters and encourages growth of algae. I tend to leave instructions as my friend feeds my chameleon as well while i'm away. I appreciate all your help and support. Hopefully if all goes well come the first week in December i should be able to get some black galaxy fishbone and add them to the tank. Will keep you updated and will provide photos.

Well done!
