Beautiful shrimp, great photo! To do a reset the first thing to do is get the substrate and see if that needs any 'prep'. If it does I would just do that in a bucket, ie the one I had needed water changes of 50% every other day for 2 weeks to avoid ammonia spike and/or mineral saturation/build up. Easier to do that in a bucket. That way you can do the existing tank reset all in the one day without needing extra tanks etc, though it will be a busy day and you will need a few buckets etc! I would use all new remineralised water for the new tank, so you can be drip acclimating the shrimp seperately whilst you are doing the rest of the reset work. New remineralised water will also ensure the water is at its best balance as well. Do long acclimating (drip if possible) though, maybe even overnight? It can be better for all parties if you don't rush through the whole process and you may even enjoy it more than you think. It will be easier and better to empty the tank rather than trying to remove the old substrate with everything in situ. You can also then trim the roots and leaves of the plants etc and alter the scape if you want to!

What do you mean by reset? Do you make a whole new tank, cycle it, and move the shrimp over? Or do you just mean substrate replacement? I may try that anyway- maybe first soak in water for a while, then soak in tank behind the filter, then suck out some old substrate and dump in the new one. I may have jinxed myself with the latest update, as shortly after writing that, one of the "Big 6" of golden bees was walking around funny with a sideways bend in his tail. Like he got in a freak accident or something. Then died a few hours later. A few days later, I found a partially eaten large-ish shrimp. A few days later another large shrimp was being quiet for a day, and the next got eaten while still alive by other others. So yeah, I still have some kind of shrimp attrition and there aren't that many full size ones. (except for the "Big 5" and a few blue bolts.) Like I said earlier, usually when a shrimp gets old they stop eating and become quiet for at least a few days. Maybe because I stopped having very distinctive-looking shrimp - they either look like golden bees or some generic blue bolt. I am also not happy about the shrimp's cannibalistic behavior. In my other tank, when a shrimp dies the others leave it alone. Well anyway overall the tank is still doing well, no short antenna noticed in the golden bees, the vast majority of shrimp come running when there's food out. Anyway, here's a gratuitous picture of what I mean by an "old" shrimp. One of the last "distinctive" looking ones, so easy to track down. The shell starts to look crusty, and they stop eating and tend to stare off into the great beyond. This guy lasted about a week before finally giving out.
