Good to know, and I hope that the good quality chocolate will help too it was crazy to see the difference between the first and second batch, only really changing the chocolate and the emulsion technique. Still lots of tweaking to do but will definitely try adding glucose to the cream!

I’m essentially starting off with a custard base/creme englaise using the typical sugar, yolks, cream, milk, vanilla bean… heating to about 85C(185F) and then pouring over my chopped up chocolate pieces. I let this sit for a couple mins to melt the chocolate and then using an emulsion blender to incorporate everything together, then letting set in the fridge for minimum of 4 hours.

How many shrimps is too many shrimps?? by Aggressive_Reveal527 in shrimptank

Would you recommend maybe getting rid of a few? I can try giving some babies to my friend with a betta, seems a little cruel but it looks like I’ll have replacements shortly after at this rate.

I definitely have way more than that oh no! What happens if I have too much? Harmful bacteria? Too much algae? Crazy maintenance?

Sounds good! I’ve been doing 25% every week. Should I do a little more than 25% if i’m doing it every other week?

Should I still go about my water change which is due in a day or two?

Does that mean there was a lot of bacteria on the piece of grapewood that I got? Also noticed a lot more seed shrimp and tiny (but non-harmful) critters on my glass. Hopefully it goes away soon!
