Been reading stickies. Seems like most of your shrimps have good grades.
I become more appreciating your shrimps now.
Keep us updated on that dark red breed. Really like it.

Quick question, in lfs which you guys take
a. Packet with berried moms
b. Packet with small shrimplets already born and swimming around in the plastic

Have a good understanding before keeping these sensitive fellas..

Will be updating soon.. Just took some photos..

About the questions you asking, I think you meant neocaridina shrimps (eg Fire Red, Yellow, etc).. Well, both have pros and cons.. But I think it's a risk for both.. Berried females might kick eggs and ended up with none.. Little shrimplets swimming around might not make it.. But it's a risk to you who buys them.. If I can choose, I will take the berried with eggs option.. Chances of shrimplets giving birth in your tank is higher then acclimatizing the already born shrimplets.. But this is only my views.. (Been awhile since I bought from LFS.. )

It's their nightly feeding in my tanks....











The best species of all which breed non stop.. Hahaha.. Seed shrimps...

What do you call that plastic bottle with biomedia inside again? How does it work?
For those tank with noticeable algae already, will you ever clean it up.

Almost a week since my yamato bought. They seemed to own the tank. They even grab and refused me to clean up my leftover sinking pellets. Lol

The media in the plastic bottles are K1 moving media. They helps in cultivating bacteria on & inside them. For mine, its air-driven to create a moving up current for them to 'spin' inside the bottle. Bacteria grow in it and those bacteria that are dying will be knocked off due to the moving and knocking during the 'spinning'...

For my tanks, i dont clean up the algae unless its those that is covering the front glass. I let the algae grow.

As for yamato shrimps, i dont think they work.. hahaha... never had good experience with yamato because as they get used to the tank and your feeding, they will just be lazy and pick on only the food which you are feeding the rest of the faunas inside.. I will go for Red Nose Shrimps as they seems to be less aggressive, very hardworking too... My shrimps bully those Red Nose Shrimps i have in the tanks when it comes to food snatching... hahaha...
