Lol, I’m always hoping that the 1 bladder snail or even 3 bladder snails I find once I finish setting A tank up, are the only ones in there. I spend hours searching and searching and come up with no more then those first ones.. But yet somehow just somehow, the one day I relax and don’t check on the tank comes to bite me in the ass. Cause the very next day I find A shit ton of babies, and once that happens I’m usually always going to have to do daily population control. So what made you want to choose pumpkins or snowballs if you don’t mind me asking? I guess the pumpkin can sorta be an eye catcher, I never really liked the snowballs though. Seemed kinda plain to me, but of course that’s just my opinion. If you like em, then go for it Mah bro!! I just started obtaining some Blue Bolts, gonna need to find another 10-15 to have enough to get my tank started. I might just have to put the Small amount of Blue Bolts I currently have, in with A wild shrimp we have in our rivers. They won’t breed with the BB, but they do an excellent job keeping all my new shrimp company if I only have A few of them to start off with

Damn that’s some nice lookin wood lol. Glad to have you back, any current plans on what you’ll most likely be putting into the tank once it’s finished being set up and cycled?

So it’s kind of hard to tell but I think one of my Sulawesi CardinAls is berried? Man it’s cool watching them eat their fill on all the bio film they want! Even the dwarf Rabbit snails are having A feast!

That’s awesome, I’m glad you where able to make it back here after talking with you on FB!

Man I’ve been researching A few RO Units that are in my price range and can filter an adequate amount of water daily. But I still don’t have enough tanks to justify doing it, plus the tap water here really isn’t to bad to start with!

So me and my bro cleaned up some of our tanks, and now I have A problem because of him lol.. He had these snail looking creatures that are all over the sides of his tank. Even after quarantining the hornwort plants I took from him, only for about 2 weeks in it’s own container. I still ended up with these snail look alikes all over my tank. Also, do you guys like it when the shrimps have A strong colored back strap/middle strap? It’s nice if it’s A close color to the shrimp, but when it’s kinda a whole different color it kinda makes me iffy on them.

Well if I where to ask you if you where 100% sure that all the babies you culled where male, what would you tell me?

Tap water, always believed and was told our tap water is some of the best tap water in the world lol.. but then again they where referring to it for drinking

Here’s some Orange for yah! Some Tangerines that aren’t doing so well, and some Sakura in the White Tub. I was doing A water change, well dumping out some water back into the tank so I could restart the drip process. When I see little bright translucent specs zipping through the water lol, I almost dumped A whole bunch of baby fry out without even knowing!

Beautiful bro, I’m glad you replied!! Wait those pictures are of all different baby shrimp right? For A second I thought their colors completely changed some how haha! Do you know about how many fry in total there was, and how many made it to this point?

The only way to know definitively is to create some offspring yourself to be honest.. The different color combinations are endless, you would just have to keep creating offspring and adding new genes into the lines and then back cross to the colors you want if the lines start bottle necking

So I’m not new to acclimating things to A new environment like cuttings of plants, A couple reptiles and animals, and of course fish,crayfish, and some others.. But I’m having A little trouble with some of the Neos that I have. Besides the PH for this specific tank being A little to high, which I will correct before placing shrimp in here. I can’t see anything wrong with the numbers

You could’ve taken the babies out and put them into A salt/brackish water mixture in order for them to survive, then when they get older you acclimate them to fresh water

Well you gotta think you don’t have any Waterfall filter with activated carbon running, are you doing any kinda water changes still? you might need A couple more plants in there, unless you do A small water change and add in something alive in there. OR add some things from your turtle tank into the new tank just for A few days to jump start everything. Maybe even just purchase Acouple feeder shrimp to throw in there as sacrificial shrimp lol. The ammonia will go down as the tank starts to cycle, I know water changes are kinda doing the opposite of what you want the cycling to achieve. But it’s A give and take situation.

I’m ecstatic right now! Finally someone who actually stuck to his Guarantee! Everything packaged very carefully, and ALL shrimp alive and healthy!
