My 60L Cube

Wow! I've never managed to get my shrimp invested in the sticks. The most shrimp I ever had on one was 4 . They mustn't like the bee pollen sticks I have.
Also, that hygrophila is looking no holes, unlike mine

They have been pretty much hungry today. Which is a good sign!

Try spirulina sticks, shrimps like it.

Mine did have holes if I let it grow forever, but started to maintain it, and I must say it's never been this beautiful

I just have tested the water.. Now it makes sense why shrimps now go for food

They're enjoying their romaine lattuce leaves

Got an order of 40 bloody mary cherry shrimps ready for thursday... £106.50 if you count in the shipping for next day...

About to crash my tank again

 

[Jinx_]

Or will do 20 and leave it at that. Don't know.

 

[MattW]

Got some expensive shrimpy's on the way , hopefully they all acclimate well for you

I do wonder what number I should do

I would hold off on a large amount for now. You may also get breeding from the shrimp you have now. It does take a little time, but the results are worth it.

Yeah that's why I'm debating on the numbers.
Maybe I just should do the 20 and let them try breeding?

I know your ammonia and nitrite were zero on Friday but I would not get any more shrimps until you've had a week of zeros. Better to wait a few days than risk losing more shrimps at that price.

For sure! I'll order then on Thursday so they come for Friday, which will technically make it a week. I'll closely monitor parameters then, I do expect it to crash again

Another dead shrimp
Also molt issues, old shell is next to her.
I think that's the 4th shrimp that died to white ring of death.

I'm incredibely mad right now.

My plants were to be delivered today, but RoyalMail left the box down in the communal corridor. Didn't knock or ring the intercom.

Now look at the seller not responding I bet lol.
Over £30 down the drain.

What seller was it? Proshrimp? Are the plants you received looking ok?
