2FT Starter Planted Tank

Good luck acclimating them to the tank and getting started!
Sorry nothing else arrived though.

 

At this stage, I am getting frustrated with the lack of comms about this, but the shrimps look good and i cant wait to get them home and in the tank...

 

good luck with them and remember pics or it did not happen

 

So a few photos before i started the drip acclimation. I was expecting them to be nick naks orange or like the oros, but will see how their color changes after they have settled in the new tank

 

nice packaging

 

Yeah the packaging was really good and im going to keep it for future use, just would have been nice to receive everything i ordered -_-

 

hopefully they correct their mistake

 

It might be that they send livestock separately from normal products as the livestock have special transport requirements.

 

Thats good to know, things sure have changed in the last 4 years lol, before then online shopping for fish and equipment wasnt even a thing, which i think was a good thing as I already have another basket ready to go for Christmas....

 

Yeah, one being a second tank...

 

So finally got them in to the tank, i got a good mix of small to adult sizes, the bigger ones took a bit longer to act "normal" while the smaller ones immediately started being all shrimpy. I also noticed some algae, but they dont seem interested in it yet...

Should I leave it or reduce the lighting cycle, at the moment its from 10:00 to 18:00

 

Nice, cool looking shrimp. I'd leave the lighting period as is- bit of algae will be good for them if it shows up.
Not sure how far the cycling process is? Are you able to test? Try keep things steady as you can for them, while being aware that any ammonia or nitrite is very harmful.
Are you using RO?

 

Im doing a 25% WC each day, with normal tap water and not RO water for now, but getting a smaller tank for RO and then I will lmove them there in a few months time if the don't start multiplying.

Sadly i dont see a berried female anymore, maybe it was just my excitement from when i got them...

 

That's great you've gotten them into the tank and they seem to be doing OK. How exciting!
