    Just sharing my newly cycled tank.

    Livestock are 5 horned nerites and 2 sakura shrimps, which one of them were pregnant.

    Using 2026 filter and Hailea HS-28A chiller.

    Sakura shrimp. The preggie mommy was hiding as soon as I am done aclimatising them into the tank.

    Re: Sharing my little tank

    How big is your tank? looks like it is less than 2 feet, wouldnt a 2026 be too strong? Anyway welcome to shrimp keeping and keep up the good work!

    it's 1.5ft, yes, it is indeed too strong, so i use the rainbar and limiting the filter flow. So I hope the shrimps are doing ok with it.

    One problem with my tank, i start to see tiny critter walking around the driftwood, i don't think it's cepepods as it's not moving around by doing some "jumping" action. can anyone tell me what it is and how to eradicate them?

    Re: Sharing my little tank

    i thought the 2 sakura are front line troop for testing?

    the babies are generally lifeless and dont move much , hiding most of the time. they will be doing well in 2 weeks
    there should be min bio film if its a new tank.
    I feed the shrimplets bio-plus alt day to make sure they are fed

    i'm looking for people with nice blue shrimps.

    it seems if the juveniles would show such blue coloration it's pretty good sign ain't it?

    Yeah, it should be clear colourless white. I'm not using macro lens, instead I'm using 2 lens together to create macro shot, so colour and pic quality may not be very good.

    And 1 of the 2 commandos that I bought from LFS are berried, so not they are already breeding.

    Now I am having problem with the algae... One side, I need longer hours on my lights to make the moss green, but in the other side, longer lights = algae problem. How to resolve this...

    Re: Sharing my little tank

    how many hours of light .. moss do not require very long hours of light
    your algae problem doesnt seems too big
    lessen the light, if possible black out . get otto fish/pleco
    do some wc if you have been adding fertilizer

    hoping they will be eaten up by the snails and pleco

    Re: Sharing my little tank

    He bro,

    I attached 2 eheim 2213 and a eheim 2224 to a 2.5 ft tank. Water clear as cristal. I use sponge for inlet for preventing shrimpsucking. This will reduce the strenght already. And the outlet i use a spray bar with bigger holes so it should be good. Shrimps are doing great

    Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
