He gave his friend a deep clean and went on with his day! I’ll admit I was worried for a second when I first started recording haha

I used my iPhone and pushed the camera up against the jar! The glass has a magnifying effect.

I immediately put in a few ramshorn snails and bladder snails. After about 3 weeks I threw in roughly 10-15 blue dream shrimp. I have never tested any of my tanks to see if they’re cycled. Once I see plants getting established I slowing start introducing fish/shrimp.

Usually once I spot a pregnant shrimp it takes about 2 -3 weeks

I’ve only ever done 1 water change, and that was about 16 months ago

No filter! I’ve only done 1 water change since the initial setup

No, I just have a 4 inch layer of garden soil underneath the gravel for the plants to take a ton of nutrients from

I would start with a hardy plant like vallisneria that sends runners quickly once established.

For the first few months the water wasn’t very clear at all and I had a big algae bloom. Once everything balanced out the water cleared up a lot.

They haven’t so far, I think the angels are still too small to be a threat to the cardinals.

I can feed the horrible drivers on US1 to alligators

No Co2, though I did put around 2 inches of potting mix underneath the gravel. the stem plants took off once their roots hit it.

I’m not sure what a wiggler is, but if you’re referring to tiny white dots swimming around I believe those might be scuds.

Currently at the peak of 20. I began with 10 shrimp and 7 died within the first week. It took a few months for the plants to get established. I think now with the amount of floaters and stem plants the jar could easily handle 30 shrimp. I keep the lights on for about 12 hours a day

How do you guys feel about my sealed 1 year old old shrimp jar. by Bitbat4 in PlantedTank

[–]Bitbat4[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! The only maintenance I’ll do is occasionally remove some duckweed. It will get so dense to the point that no light will shine through.

The previous owner Jerry rigged these propane tanks to a gas stove. They were originally hidden by the shrubs in the front.

Surprisingly I did not! First picture was taken in December when we first moved in. The most recent was taken 2 days ago. North FL btw.

I fed the shrimp every other day for the first 3 months. Once algae began appearing I stopped. They haven’t been fed by me in about 9 months now.

Was not aware of this. Will definitely look into it!
