My new shrimp fossil! It's super neato, so we'll preserved! Love this little guy!

Did a big duck weed clean out and removed 2 dying plants. Everyone seems to be enjoying the increase in light even the Cory's are schooling about. Also culled some bladder and rams horn snails for the pea puffer tank.

Aquarium Tips!

Talking a little bit about caridina and neocaridina shrimp below the cut!

(image from https://www.theshrimpfarm.com)

These are caridina shrimp. They're the big buck boys that you see in all of the shrimp shows! They have a narrower range of water parameters that they thrive in because they've been selectively bred by humans to a point where they're more sensitive to things like nitrates and ammonia and pH imbalances.

(image also from https://www.theshrimpfarm.com)

These guys are neocaridina! They're hardier and more prolific than caridina shrimp. They have several lovely colors and patterns, including 'wild types' which have the coloring of their wild ancestors! It's kind of like if a human was born with homo erectus hair growth patterns to two very unhairy parents and I think that's really cool!

Caridina and neocaridina, despite the fact that they look incredibly similar, are actually from different genera! This means they can't interbreed.

Both have diets consisting of biofilm (which is the slippery stuff which forms naturally on the surfaces of your aquarium created by secretions of microorganisms), algae, decaying plant matter, their own molted shells, and basically anything else they can get their little claws on! You can blanch vegetables and feed them little kebabs. Be sure to give them a varied diet!

I love these guys a lot. They're delightful creatures with no fear and an insatiable hunger for All Things.

Found my husband's old Japanese shrine aquarium decor from when he was a kid when we were gijng through stuff, and I decided to rearrange Ifrit's tank a bit to make room for it. And all the inhabitants seem to be really enjoying it! Especially the 6 new crystal shrimp I got recently, who thankfully survived my first foray into drip acclimation. Excited to see them grow!

i was literally 25 seconds away from paying seachem like $30 for a Fancy Algae Scraper™ when i saw a suggestion to try an old credit card and friends?

this was life changing advice

i've been trying in vain to battle this green spot algae for MONTHS and it was slowly taking over every wall on my tanks. it took me 10 minutes with an old card to fully clear my 40 and my 10 like, entirely

i would never speak ill of seachem but consider this my professional endorsement of Ye Olde Credit Card Algae Scraper.

go forth and be algae free

#also? VERY good snail squasher #i have trumpet snails i think in my betta tank and i refuse to let them take over so i squash em when i find em #credit card lets you squash many at once without poking your fingers!! #fishblr #shrimplr

Little update on horse. I added 3 red shrimp to his tank, which he immediately tried to eat, but it’s fine now.

The panda corys kept hurting their barbels on the river rock substrate in Shiva's tank, and the plants were having a hard time with the rocks too, so I switched to a mixture of sand and Samurai Soil substrate, and it's made the corys so much more active! My friend pointed out that it looks like cookies n cream and I can't unsee it lol

The fluval flex 15ga had been running but empty for a while. Finally did something productive and moved the shrimp in.
