My new shrimps were shipped out last Saturday with an eta of Tuesday. They arrived at the post office on time but USPS rerouted the package and it was lost until Friday after, delivered today. I did what i could, i went to the post office on Tuesday morning and was told that they dont get any...

you could also put food out and net them when theyre eating

I was debating if I wanted the 20 or 30 and ended up getting a 30 for my 9.96g tank, bit of an overkill though

I have them in all my tanks, got them when I first started theyre not accurate at all. the only time theyve shown a reading is when I was cycling at 4ppm. if there is like 1 or 2 ppm, it definitely won't show up, so really there is no point if you're trying to maintain. also seachems pH one...

I havethe same problem, it just happened yesteday, tried reinstalling and such. also can't log out and back in because there's no button for that

100s in your 10 gallon, you might be overfeeding because that causes them to crazy reproduce

What Demeter said. I saw mine zooming around like crazy yesterday, a few in circles. I saw a moult and few hours later shes berried

In a shrimp only tank

Aquaclear. I have one on my 16g and one on a new 10g. It’s very quiet. The only problem I have is with the waterfall sound but that is very easily fixed with a piece of sponge or a plastic water bottle

I’ve read that otos are most likely wild caught so they have a tough time adjusting to tank life. If your water conditions aren’t pristine they have an even harder time. I believe your nitrates are a bit too high. They may also be really hungry if you don’t have enough algae for them to eat...

I’ve found if I walk up to the tank and try to look for them they get all weird but when I shut the lights off and walk away they run over to the zucchinI I put in and act fine. That’s my experience anyway. Your Nitrate might be a bit high though

I wish I had that problem!

I roll/slide them onto my finger or hand and just drop them into the tank

Red rillI is neocaridina, those shrimp need harder water. Your water is fit for caridina who need softer water. That may be why you’re seeing different parameters in the internet. Richie P would know a lot more

You've inspired me to get a macro lens so I won't be sending you blurry pics wanting you to identify what's on my shrimp haha. I bought it this morning
