Shrimp Journal

Yesterday was rearrange the shrimp room day!!I had new tanks to set up, I wanted to move the Fluval to the north bench, one of the tanks on that bench to the west bench, the two five gallons to the bottom shelf on the rack. I had three new tanks to set up.

It's Christmas day. I've got my first berried shrimp in caridina tank four. That's the titibees/red safari culls/crs/cbs tank. It's one of the ttb's. I've seen the boys get the zoomies three times now, and this is the first berried female I've seen.

They're here!!! I finally got the ghost bees I've been wanting for so long, and they look amazing in this tank against the black substrate.

My jade/aura blue tank is giving me fits. I've had two berried aura blues, and one berried jade in the last few weeks drop their eggs. I was so excited to have those first berried aura blues. It's almost like what ever makes the eggs sticky on the underside of the female shrimp wasn't sticky enough. An egg or two could be seen dangling and in irritation she'd try and flick them off. Next thing you know, she's kicking off most of the eggs as others come loose. Here's a pic of it happening to a blue dream a while ago. You can see the eggs dangling underneath her.
