Hi there ! There should be no problem using plastic Decor in terms of toxicity, the only thing I would watch out for is sometimes the plastic plants are hard on the bettas delicate fins and they can get tears in them. Otherwise should be fine!

I can second that - A couple years ago I started a sorority and also had one of the females that was labeled a male turn out to be a crown tail mail and I had to separate him out into his own tank . Honestly even after being in the same tank for years with each other, they still fight with each...

Thank you so much richiep ! I don’t know what I would do without your help and support!

Thank you again richiep , that did work! I started with just a teaspoon of salt because I got nervous they would get shocked, so I did have to treat the most heavily infested shrimp twice but today he seems to be all clear! Do you know if I can do that to the medium sized juvenile shrimp? I...

richiep thank you! I will try that, do you think I would need to treat the whole tank as well or just increasing the tank maintenance would eventually take care of it?

Took me awhile to get somewhat decent photos as they won’t stay still and cooperate richiep ! I think I had a problem with too much afternoon sun hitting that tank - The water and tank doesn’t normally smell bad, just like a normal fish tank smell, but I noticed the other day when the sun was...

My female just had more shrimp babies, I’m so excited! I now see what you meant, richiep , when you said the last babies I found were already a few weeks old, this one is certainly sooo much smaller, almost microscopic! I only happened to notice it because it was on this betta leaf that fell...

SanDiegoRedneck thats perfect! I am getting good pictures of them but no one in my family gets the scale of how small they really are because the pics are so zoomed in! so I keep wondering if I see two diff ages of babies or do they differ in size at that age? Because I swear I see a difference...

I know, somehow that’s the best part, they are just super mini versions of the adults! Lol

Wow these tiny ones are already a month old you think?! That’s crazyyy! I have to do the shrimp tank with a turkey baster and do it very slowly And carefully ! Lol Thank you all!! OH I think you are right richiep I was looking harder tonight and I saw one baby that was almost twice as big as...

I’m so excited! After my female shrimp had her second batch of eggs for several weeks they just seemed to disappear, and I assumed she lost these ones too somehow. Flash forward to yesterday, and I went to clean the tank, and as I moved the light around the tank where I was gravel vacuuming, I...

Thanks richiep , I’ll take a closer look today, I kept checking last night but all I could find are baby snails and snail eggs lol

Well unfortunately my first attempt at making the egg tumbler was not successful But the female kept the rest of the eggs until tonight - now I only see about 2-3 left. I’m not sure if they hatched or she just lost these ones... if they hatched would I be able to see the baby shrimp? Or will...

Hi, I’m so sorry about your betta Unfortunately with dropsy by the time they look pinecone-y it is often too late to save them as you suspected. You can still try though! The epsom salt soak can help alleviate some of the bloating so I would go ahead and give a try! Ireally hope it helps, I...

Ah thank you again!!! I hope it’s not too late for these eggs ! It is taking me sometime today to find some suitable stuff I can try to use, They still look orange. I took the top of one of my small gravel vacs and trying to close the bottom end of it so the eggs don’t fall out. Right now I...

Thank you richiep ! I watched a few - silly question, are you supposed to put the tumbler back in the tank afterwards with the eggs in it or can it stay out? I may have to go low tech here lol I have an extra air pump and air tubing, regulator, and the glass jar from my old DIY sponge filter...

She def looks constipated to me, I’d try fasting her few a couple of days. My females get this sometimes too if I accidentally overfeed. Hopefully that will be enough to bring down the bloating ! *fingers crossed * some things that are also supposed to help bloating is to soak their food a...

Hi all! So my female blue dream shrimp has been berried since nov 18th .. she lost her first clutch, and this was her second. tonight I just noticed she has way less eggs, and I found what appears to be a clump of them in the attached pic. Do you guys have any idea why she would drop them now...

Congrats on your shrimp babies mattgirl ! I’ve been following this thread awhile! I just found one of my blue females berried, so I’m psyched and hope she keeps this batch! (She lost her first one last month) ! It’s so exciting isn’t it?! -Steph

Demonskid aww man! It’s always that one second you look away! Lol I’m sure if i had known he was about to molt and was waiting for it I would have never caught it!
