#things I've read saying as long as I have nitrates it means something is being converted so yay? it's def not in our tap water I tested

Finally got a fancy(tm) pic of my aquarium - think I figured out the solution to awful photos is just I have to do them at night because the hugeass window in my room directly adjacent ruins everything. Going to try and take a pic like this weekly to track growth!

Anyway it's looking close? Closeish? to being cycled so the question is: WHAT COLOUR SHRIMP

#kerytalk #fish nonsense #planted tank #aquablr #fishblr #cherry shrimp or neocaridina is what I'm looking for #I just don't think I'd like reds. Or yellow #also rip I found the underground shrimp trading groups (complicated) and went from not finding any Caridina to so many #DO NOT TEMPT ME! I KNOW THEY'RE MORE SENSITIVE #they look bomb af tho rip #I do prefer them over Neos #idk how close is close but ammonia is 0.2 nitrites 0.0 and nitrates 20ppm #been sitting at that for a hot minute tho so not sure what's happening #dosing with bacteria and a fertiliser (both seachem) daily #things I've read saying as long as I have nitrates it means something is being converted so yay? it's def not in our tap water I tested
