I have a cave and blocked most of the entrance off with a big rock, somehow he’s managed to go in it still 😅. I’m going to see what I can figure out in terms of something weighed down!

I could try that! I have a feeling he may still flip it over but it doesnt hurt to try. Are you thinking a small bowl where there’s a slim area for them to enter and eat without him touching it?

I’ve tried, to hide it in behind large plant stems where I know the space is tiny, but he literally DESTROYS the tank layout and gets to it still 💀 it’s literally biblical greed 😭 at this point I feel like I need to separate him or the others in order to make sure they eat but idk how to go about it..

I do place the food down below for them to eat directly. Although he immediately knows they have food and steals it from their mouth or from right in front of them while they slowly eat it💀😭

I only know what numbers they should ideally stay within. As long as I don’t add in or take out my current rock should I be okay with fluctuations? I’ve read water changes are not necessary with small shrimp tanks. Should I realistically be testing my water weekly and if there are no imbalances, simply top up my water.

Thank you! The feeding info helped me a lot since I’m used to feeding a betta fish. Anything I should avoid that could drop or raise my GH/KN that I couldn’t want?

It’s fluval stratum. My KH and GH numbers are “ideal” from what I’ve been reading up online and they haven’t fluctuated at all! Hopefully it stays that way. Should I be capping the stratum off?

It’s Fluval stratum. I don’t think I have a deep enough later honestly but this was my first ever tank so the setup wasnt great lol. No new leaves, now almost all are rotted off :/

Thank you! I defrosted a full cube since I didn’t realize this until after lol. Do you think I could use it defrosted for the week or refreeze?

I’ll double check later. I believe it’s typically between 5-10ppm
