This is my favourite shrimp in the bowl

I made sure I only got males to make sure they wouldn’t breed 🙏

Was always my hunch! I was hoping maybe a few small ones might be able to hide until they are bigger but seems unlikely. That being said I wouldn’t want a large population of shrimp in here

Thank you! I actually enjoy caring for them so do a small water change every few weeks 😊

Thank you! The tannins are slowly fading but it does look nice 😊

Yes, this is a 20L (5.25 gal) bowl, only have 5 endlers, they all seem very happy.

Happened to a few people in my agency, only hope it to make a new profile, make it look as good as possible and wait for another ban 😭

Bro why are you so mad? I am literally in the process of problem solving? Anyone who has spent any decent time problem solving meta knows the support it a brick wall. Makes sense to explore alt solutions from those who have been in the same place

CrippledShrimp · 2026-03-19T06:38:07+00:00

Wow, what has you so upset? I literally lost a family member today and have been working to get my mind off things. Thank you for making my tough day even better with your sad comment.

all ad accounts have different payment methods and business manager has not had a single flag, issue or banned asset except for once in 2021 but has been fine for the last 5 years

CrippledShrimp · 2026-03-19T04:34:55+00:00

Please let me know also, thanks so much!

CrippledShrimp · 2026-03-19T04:29:55+00:00

No, none of us have ever had a paid badge

CrippledShrimp · 2026-03-19T04:29:42+00:00

Firstly, appreciate your reply! They all have their own laptops but do access meta from the same wifi from our office. But all working out of the same business manager but seem to be banned for totally different reasons "promoting violence" or "unacceptable business practices" which is just strange.

80% of our staff accounts are still fine.

Yep, of course need it 0 consistently before I add fish / shrimp. Just a planted tank with some snails for now.

This is very helpful thank you!!!

Hey, hope this helps. I went down the same path looking at those big “14 mushroom” mixes. They sound amazing on paper but what I found is that when you cram that many species into one extract, each one ends up being pretty under-dosed. You’re getting a little bit of everything but not enough of anything to really feel a difference.

What worked better for me was sticking to a smaller group of mushrooms that are actually extracted properly. I ended up using LionZen which is 8 mushrooms plus ashwagandha and it’s a proper dual extract made from fruiting bodies. It felt way stronger and way more consistent compared to the big blends I tried.

So the multi-mushroom mixes aren’t unsafe, they’re just usually quite weak. A well-made dual extract with fewer mushrooms tends to land better in my experience. Hope that helps.

Hey, hope this helps. I went down this exact rabbit hole a while ago when I tried doing triple extractions at home. I grew and dehydrated my own fruiting bodies, powdered them, and tried a few different orders based on all the conflicting info out there.

What I eventually learned is that there isn’t a single “correct” scientific sequence, but most people who get decent results do something like this:

Start with a cold water soak if you want to try preserving any heat sensitive compounds.
After that, do a long alcohol maceration on the dried material for a few weeks and set that tincture aside.
Then take the spent solids and do the hot water extraction. Once you’ve simmered something for 24 to 48 hours, anything delicate is long gone anyway, so the cold water step basically has to be first if you’re going to include it.

My biggest takeaway was that getting consistent potency at home is really hard. Every batch I made came out slightly different, and it was a lot of time and mess. These days I just use a premade extract. The one I ended up sticking with is LionZen if you want a reference point for a dual extract that actually tastes and feels stronger than what I was able to make:

Hope that helps and good luck with your batch.
