Tank Trois!

How are the shrimp in the new tank doing?

They’re great! Active but calm. I already spotted 2 berried shrimp. That’s light speed for me. Considering I waited 1.5 year and 1 year for the first berried shrimp in two other tanks. Hopefully I get a good pic soon.

That IS light speed! It does help that almost all the shrimp females that I am sending out seem to be pretty much ready to carry eggs judging by their super full "saddles"/ovaries. It is the season....

So far I counted 4 berried shrimp already. The first larvae are being released over a few days. It's amazing!

Did most of the larvae survive and turn in to little shrimp?

Thank you! I’ve gone from colorful decor to more contrasting setup, I was inspired by quite a few tanks on this forum!

It looks great! Just this week I’ve given in to the itch to start my third tank as well.

Hello forum family!

Wanted to post an update on tank number 3. All in all, everything is going smoothly. I haven't done anything too different, besides adding some decor from another tank that cracked. I lost count of the babies cus I wasn't quite as obsessed with these lovely shrimpies as I was in the beginning. The relationship has definitely matured

It's fun reading the older posts and seeing the pictures I shared years ago, it sorta documented the start of this tank.

After I took the picture below, I noticed a mama in the upper left hand area. See if you can spot it.
