Week 7. Posting a little later here but things are still about the same as yesterday. Did come home to see a carapace on my “tree” today.

WEEK 8 UPDATE

Things are doing well and shrimp continue to color up nicely. I was on vacation for a week and as promised, the tank fared well without anyone checking up on it.

Nice! Same here. Went on vacation and all was well. Some shrimp have nice red color, other are quite light in color. Any babies yet? Mine just don't seem to be getting with the program. I read somewhere that maybe they like a lower salinity for breeding? I still have not been able to determine who's male and whose female if that is even possible with this little buggers. At least until I see someone carrying eggs.

Week 8! Huge cheato growth lately. Otherwise things are going well

As time has past...water has evaporated. Checked the tank salinity, added 1 cup salted water at the same tank level to prevent a change in the chemistry of the water. The shrimp continue to thrive! #rnnshrimpcontest @ReefNewsNetwork

FYI: I salted the water to slightly bring up the salinity from 1.08 to 1.10. Shrimps seem to love the extra salt.

Not too much to update this week. I removed the glass substrate and background because I decided I did not like them. I added volcanic rock substrate and I'm probably going to add some green plastic plants if I can find some I like. I tested 0 for ammonia but I don't see much algae so I'm going to wait one more week to order my shrimp Love seeing all the updates with all the shrimp doing well.

Shrimp galaxy is going well! Lots of activity and everyone seems healthy.

 

[TheFishLady]

Finally ready to order shrimp again! My chaeto is doing really well though, and I love this rock with the pink fracture through it I'm mega excited to get the Shrimpy Lamp.. well... shrimpy again!

Week 7 or 8 not entirely sure. Shrimp are doing great. Added a heater and a new betta tank light. Hoping for some bigger chaeto growth. No babies in sight but keep hoping I’ll see an egg bearing female soon

Week 8! Shrimp are still looking good
