substrate is sand with black sand on top. I had the normal sand down first and found they were camouflaging to blend in and their colours were dulling so added the darker sand to help bring back their colours, which it did within hours! I have neo’s and caridina’s in the tank. I’ll add some...

They don’t stop exploring..Their tank is in my sun room with is clear view from our lounge room so I sit and watch them swimming around all the time. It’s like their own little village under water.

Hi all Hope everyone has been well?! Well I have finally finished the shrimp tank (well that’s a lie cause we are never finished working in our tanks)! Everyone has settled beautifully and I have babies that have already been born in it :wub: Now to just sit back and watch it flourish!

I’ve always done the low rate as Colin has suggested and never had a problem @Deanasue but hey if you suggest 1 table spoon then lets go with that.

Do a 75% water change and add salt. Don’t use chemicals if you don’t have too. Because you have cories you will need to do the low dose rate which is 2 heap tablespoons per 5 G (20 litres) of aquarium Salt, pool salt for 2 weeks. You will need to water change daily to keep the water clean...

Looks to be a bit fungal or excess mucus. If it was columnaris you would know about it as the rest would have it and not just him? What are your water parameters?

with that lot I had blues, reds, yellows and ghost.

Hi all Hope everyone is well?! I wanted to show some of my new little additions. I got them for $8 AUD a piece which is a steal as ppl sell them for $25 AUD and up a piece. They are so darn cute, I can’t get enough of them! :wub:

um mah you said a swear word! You’re going to get reported now :rofl:

I agree with @seangee here. Could definitely be a throw back from past generations. In saying that, just because you have orange throws now and say you separate and breed it doesn’t mean you will get orange. Red is the dominant colour here which means they can and will produce more reds then...

I have different colour neo’s in my tank now and they are throwing colours. Red is the main colour regardless of the shrimp as red is the most dominant colour. My last lot crossbred and I got beautiful wild with hints of colours through them eg. wild colour with a hint of red or blue. I think...

Oh she is just beautiful!! :wub: What a blessed little life she is going to have now

Okay so just an update, he has gone back to his nozzle again. But is very protect of it and if any other blue eye male comes near it he chases them with all fins heckled up.

I would have myself banned if I did speak openly on how ridiculous these female artists act, sing and dress!!! :rolleyes: It’s not cool at all

You know I was thinking of this thread when I was at work. Why not go the older style R&B and hip hop like TLC I r salt n peps. Also we have some really good hip hop Aussie artists that are really cool. Bliss n eso and hilltop hood. Most songs are not explicitly at all and it’s about life morals...

Omg don’t get me started on Cardi B... girl that one is a well I’m not going to say as I’ll definitely get myself reported for the language that is intended to describe her! And that voice argh it’s like a mosquito buzzing around your room... ANNOYING!

you might like ocean alley then. They are a cruisey psych, rock and reggae fusion. Confidence and mellow yellow are really cool songs

Thanks Colin, will do

Try some Aussie music. John butler trio, ocean alley, tones and I

With you there and the distraction of the light could also be spooking them a bit and the other little lady is trying to stay close to the labour one for comfort. Just a thought

I have been watching with the lights off and he is not bothered by the nozzle and is schooling back in the group. Seems to be a lights on thing :dunno:

I wouldn’t move her due to being pregnant. My girls just chase and go back to the spot again and will continue to do this if need be. They are able to birth normally

It is only this little guy. Everyone else is normal and healthy. No signs of ich, no flashing at all. Tank is water changed and vacuumed weekly even twice a week lately. A: 0 N02:0 N03:0 Ph: 7.4

Is the other girl pregnant too?

With my little ladies.. they go and sit In a quiet place by themselves and will chase away others and go back to their spot again. Labour can be within hours and others have done it over a day or two. Being there first time, it could be a bit of a long labour it just depends. Just be careful and...

During the outbreak I had a lot of flashing. This has now stopped with everyone just this little guy

Well while you were away Colin, about a month ago I had a columnaris outbreak in the tank. I ended up using a high dose of salt, reduced heat temperature and a course of tri sulfa. Nothing new has been added and I’ve only noticed him doing it a few days but I never really took any notice...
