Congo Tetras can be an aggressive species, especially the males. I'll forgive them when they have this nice color.

Pea Puffer (Carinotetraodon travancoricus) has entered the chat! These little guys are full of personality and always seem like they're judging me.

turns out I have a live food source for my ember tetras and betta baby and it's called the seed shrimp population boom in the shrimp cube. guess that'll do to keep these guys all busy for a couple days. #fishkeeping #fishtank #shrimptank

Female carbon blue rili neocaridina shrimp that is heavily berried with orange eggs and perched on a frond of green moss. Like, that is a LOT of eggs to be carrying, good god. She's one-third eggs.

Decided I'll let the rescaped tank settle a bit more but I'll say the ember tetras are a whole lot braver now.

Also spotted in the shrimp cube - one of two berried shrimp. Have barely touched it after the baby betta shipped in but cool temps + lowered lights seem to work well. #shrimptank

Trying to escape
#aquarium #shrimptank #fishtank

Sun + light in the afternoon. Have got the nitrates down near zero, and shrimp minerals are good. Just a 5 gallon tank because it takes up so little space the cat and I can both watch it. No shrimp or fish yet, this is about 2 weeks in.

I removed the trimmings from the shallow but forgot to film that! Rumiir loves when I do tank maintenance but she gets BIG MAD if I ignore her XD #fishkeeping #aquarium #plantedtank #shrimptank

Berried blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp resting on some moss eating a bloodworm. On her underside are pinkish and bluish eggs with tiny black eyes. To the right and also standing on a strand of moss is a small male blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp.

Berried blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp from another angle. Shrimp is eating a bloodworm and showing an underside full of pinkish and bluish eggs with little eyes staring out. Hatch day should be in the next couple of weeks.

Pregananant shrimp showed me her babies while devouring a bloodworm and I am endlessly delighted by the little eyes staring back. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

Idk if this appeals to anyone but me, haha, but I have taken some pictures of my neocaradina shrimp because the babies are finally adults and have fun patterns.

shrimp cube update: the first babies are growing bigger and growing bluer. #neocaridinashrimp #shrimptank

Catching a ride!
Sorry for cloudiness, I used Bacter AE for the babies recently

10 days in and my planted tank seems to be thriving! 🌿 Even caught more bubbles from my Golden Anubias “pearling”—tiny O₂ bubbles from rapid photosynthesis. Can’t wait to add a Blue Dream shrimp colony soon! 🦐 #PlantedTank #Aquascaping #aquarium #AquariumLife #ShrimpTank #Plants

Berried blue carbon rili neocaridina shrimp sitting on a bucephalandra plant that is nestled in spiderwood above leaf litter and an alder cone.

A minuscule bluish shrimp baby sits on a spiderwood branch with a few large limpets. A darkly colored adult shrimp lurks on the other side of the branch.

Obsessed with the new tank build now that everything's settled. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

A UNS 30C 7.1 gal cube aquarium with white sand, botanical, and spiderwood sitting on a pile of dark gray rocks and plants wedged in the crevices.

Before the twice-boiled alder cones started leeching hella tannins and threw my pH out of wack. Also two tiny bundles of buce dislodged themselves and I knocked the spiderwood out of place trying to wedge them back into place. Thank fuck it's waterlogged. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

Day 11 of cycling and we are just about there (haven't done any tests yet today but I know we're there) and the new tank is having a limpet pop. explosion. happy little fuckers slowly and surely scraping away all the algae forming on the walls. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

starting to suspect the plants are fucking with my attempts to cycle this tank. had to dose 2 ppm two days in a row because ammonia keeps dropping to 0. nitrite is slowly climbing tho so I know I didn't break something. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

Photo of a UNS 30C cube aquarium with light sand and moss-covered cholla wood, and an island of gray rocks and brown spiderwood covered in buce and anubias. A water lettuce floats near the raised branches.

Rescaped the shrimp cube and am currently cycling it. Had to glue 3 pieces of spiderwood to get the dramatic look. Loving it so far. #shrimptank #shrimpkeeping

I'm looking at setting up an auto-feeder for my #aquarium. I would like to find one that either has a native #HomeAssistant integration, or is at least easy to override it's native controller with an #esp32 brainworm I can run #esphome on.

Evolution of my 20 gallon (update)

Mini low tech, no filter aquarium update: So far so good. All yellow shrimp added to tank from 10 gallon.
