I believe I can now formally identify which clear shrimp have been breeding, to produce more clear shrimp...looks like some of the Amanos I acquired a while back were actually Tiger Shrimp.

So Bruce chases around after The Royals? A photo of Chuck in his boxers would fetch a tidy sum.

Well, I’m setting up to install a wildlife video cam above the axie tank. Hope that doesn’t make me a peeper. I have it in the cat room now & the felines are becoming old hat. The axies act like they‘re half dead daytimes & I suspect nocturnal fun & games

Pics or it didn't happen

How about a couple of videos?

Whilst one shell became occupied, the smaller female decided she preferred the piece of cave-like wood I'd inserted into the tank and has actually laid a bunch of eggs in there. Currently, I'm unsure if the coconut shell has eggs in it. Nevertheless, the male is guarding both ladies.

Another attempt, this time with a torch;

Ta.
Note that I only need to syphon the substrate for obvious muck once a month and even then, there isn't a lot to clear away.
