Oh okay, thanks. When does it become too many?

Is this too many detritus worms? One guppy, 2 ottos, 4 adult shrimp, c. 12 shrimplets 6 weeks old if I'm correct. All levels normal and shrimp doing well at 21-23•©. It's one corner which is the feeding corner. Aware underfeeding should reduce but ordinarily feed every 2 days, in low...

The babies are here! The babies hatched 3 days ago. I'd modified the filter just in time and already did a 30% water change the day before so I'll not have to do another one for at least a week - will just keep an eye on parameters. I didn't add a nursery box in the end. They are hiding in a...

I didn't know that, I'll have a look for a sponge tip. Thank you 😊

I do need to buy a sponge filter I think. In the short term, I'll probably attach a mesh around the filter tube. I tried a fabric cutting from a laundry bag but I think it was too thick as the filter wasn't picking up anything and I quickly had to do a major water change last week. Thankfully...

Thank you. Condition the leaf meaning soak or boil?

Also, if I put the nursery box in, should I put mum in straight away just incase they hatch soon and get sucked into the filter, or would it likely stress mum out too much?

My filter system may be an issue, if I move to a nursery box within the tank would the flow be sufficient?

Wow 😆. They have moss ball's to hide in and other plants are silk. There are four pretty small adult guppies and two small ottos

Thanks. Do I need to put mum in a nursery divider?

This shrimp is berried right? If not, what is wrong with her? If she is berried, judging on the pics, how long do you think until I have baby shrimp to take care of?

I bet! Will be well worth the training you are doing though. I'll send a pic underneath of my kc German shepherd (old English straight back). Sadly, we lost him to cancer last month after 10.5yrs. Had him from 8 weeks old. We put in the training with him early on and that, along with a good...
