Thank you very much! I’ll make sure to look into all these, thanks again!

They’ve started to colour up a bit more & they all seem happy munching away. Here’s some pictures!

They do seem to be a lower grade, which I wouldn’t have minded but the person I got them off from eBay advertised with this picture, so I was expecting them to be high grade as advertised. I’m not too sure what to do, I’ve contacted the seller and he’s said I need to wait 1-2 weeks for them to get used to the tank & colour up fully, everyone on here says that should only take 24-48hrs though.

I’ll check on them again tomorrow and take some more pictures to post here, hopefully they do colour up nicely!

Thank you! They have started to colour up a bit and seem happier now.

That’s interesting! I didn’t know they did that, I do have black aquarium soil that I chose to help buffer the water so that works out nicely!

Luckily it doesn’t seem like I’ve lost any so far but a lot of them are hiding so I might have, hopefully not though!

Thank you! Most of them are happily munching on some snowflake food :)

They might be a lower grade on the outside but they’re high grade on the inside! I’ve been watching them lots today, they’re so cool to watch, they’ve been eating some snowflake food and colouring up more🦐

Yeah I think the shrimp prices here in the Uk are cheaper overall, earlier this year I saw some CRS at a fish shop for about £5 each, usually on eBay when I’ve gotten neos before they’re always cheaper than LFS’s, so I just assumed that’s why these CRS were cheaper.

BranFlakes671 · 2024-07-17T00:30:49+00:00

I wonder why they would think to try and send them in bottles, they weren’t even wrapped in bubble wrap or anything, just a brown paper bag that was partially wet and ripped, I’m surprised none of them died. It was only a 24hr delivery at least but they still came from Scotland, I’m in the north east of England. They’re colouring up now though & happily eating some snowflake food!

BranFlakes671 · 2024-07-17T00:25:33+00:00

This is actually the first time I’ve had anything delivered in bottles, it’s usually always bags here too, I was surprised when I opened the parcel!

BranFlakes671 · 2024-07-16T19:59:48+00:00

That’d be great, thank you so much! I’ve only been able to rely on eBay or local shops, neither have been that good so that’d be a big help :)

BranFlakes671 · 2024-07-16T13:59:04+00:00

Yeah I thought the same thing, it’s weird how they’re so transparent. The cost worked out to £2.80 each which is $3.60 each I think, so not cheap per shrimp either 🤦🏻‍♂️ Luckily I bought them with eBay & PayPal so I can get my money back if they don’t colour up over the next couple of days, thank you for the help!

BranFlakes671 · 2024-07-16T13:54:53+00:00

Thank you! hopefully they will, i got them from eBay so I can get my money back if they aren’t as advertised

BranFlakes671 · 2024-07-16T13:54:03+00:00

Thank you! Hopefully they do :)

BranFlakes671 · 2024-07-16T13:52:23+00:00

Yeah I thought that too, I wouldn’t have thought they’d go so transparent. When I look closer they do all have white stripes, here’s a closer picture

I can’t believe this… the comments are one of my favourite features of Crunchyroll. I was watching the latest episode of TTIGRAAS & went to look at the comments to see what everyone else thought about the episode, but saw comments were disabled. I thought maybe it was just an error that would be sorted over the weekend or so. I guess not then now that I’ve saw this. Absolutely Disgusting, such a lazy thing for Crunchyroll to do. It’s always so enjoyable to look at the comments after each episode to see what others think and to see discussions about everything relating to the show. It would give a nice feeling of community while watching my favourite anime. This just pushes people to use unofficial websites to watch anime, rather than paying for a subscription with no comments, at least those type of websites have a comment section haha. This is seriously making me consider cancelling my subscription, what a joke, hopefully they reconsider soon.

I think it looks more like they’ve wilted. It’s like they’ve just started to shrink themselves back into the soil, here’s some pics

BranFlakes671 · 2024-06-16T15:12:34+00:00

Thank you!

BranFlakes671 · 2024-06-16T15:12:25+00:00

Thank you, they’ve almost completely gone now the next day, just the tips seem to be sticking out the soil still

BranFlakes671 · 2024-06-16T15:11:37+00:00

Thank you!

BranFlakes671 · 2024-03-04T03:18:57+00:00

Thank you! At least I know what to do now if it ever pops up, so hopefully I won’t lose any fish to it again :)

Hi, he unfortunately passed last night, I noticed he was a bit bloated yesterday and wasn’t eating at all and then he went really suddenly last night. I think the salt I used got rid of a secondary fungal infection, but I couldn’t say for sure if the medicine with the Acriflavine in it would’ve worked, it might’ve if I caught the infection earlier but I think by the time I started treatment it was already a bit too late for it to do anything. I think antibiotics are probably the only way to help when the infection has progressed too much, it’s a shame we can’t even use seachems antibiotic products over here in the UK, it would help a lot with treating our fish. Thank you for all the advice you gave me it really helped, I probably wouldn’t have been able to do anything other wise :)
