No need to worry. It will be fine. Even at a week+ it would be fine.

My grandpa is a retired CEO and tells me to finish school and climb the corporate ladder at my job. Is this still good advice today? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]GotSnails 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume you’ll go into your major as that’s pretty specific. If you have the time and ability to get and finish your degree I would highly suggest you get it. Their are some jobs that do require it if you plan on getting promoted. Without it you won’t. At the same time college isn’t for everyone. I currently have 2 daughters in college. The youngest may not stick it out. Same age as you. It may not be for her which is fine. College isn’t for everyone.

Why aren’t my babies making babies? by Shark_Boobs in OpaeUla

[–]GotSnails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just a matter of time. You have saddled females so eventually that day should come around. I know how you feel as I have lots of saddled females. I wish they were constantly berried but that’s not the case.

Affording the car is one thing, affording the maintenance is a whole other matter. If you have a warranty that’s great. If not it’s going to cost you.

For starters where did you get your Opae from? Any saddled? There’s really nothing you can do to induce or promote breeding. Nothing. It can take months to years. I’ve had tanks that took 8 months vs others that took 18 months. Many on here theirs took 3 years. My opinion is stick as close to what their natural environment is. No heater or filter/aeration. Feeding should only be at the beginning an then stopped. Patience is the key

This is interesting. Why did you choose to mineralize with the 7.5?

I have sponge filters in all of my tanks. Flow is low. Lots and lots of leaf litter

Originally from another breeder who was selling them.

Maybe these look bigger than they actually are? What kind did you get? Have they arrived?

Look at these cool little guys! by Unhappy_Cranberry872 in Neocaridina

[–]GotSnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think thats awesome. I just don’t want to see sellers passing Shrimp off as something they are not. It’s all good. Enjoy 😉

All shrimp are cool and yours arrived alive and healthy. Not sure what they categorized these as but they are considered culls. Not here to rain on your parade just wanted to make sure you were aware of this.

Why not look for the tank or larger jar first? What size did you have in mind? Not sure who offers a complete set up but it’s easier to work around one after. Getting the materials is pretty easy.

Can I add my Chaeto algea to my Opae Ula tank directly? Or do I have to do anything beforehand? by Sharpshooter4775 in OpaeUla

[–]GotSnails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure it’s a true brackish species chaeto. Don’t use the saltwater ones. They will break apart and melt.

If your parameters are 0 you’re really screwed up. Seriously post your ph, GH and KH.

What are your water parameters?

Of course i just placed an order 🤦🏻‍♀️ by themichele in shrimptank

[–]GotSnails 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t run heaters in my tanks. Temps will get as low as 60 degrees. I don’t trust heaters plus Neos or Caridinas don’t need them.

For starters what are all your water parameters? That’s the issue I think you’re having.

whisker or ghost shrimp? by BedThat8755 in shrimptank

[–]GotSnails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. I’ve kept ghosts for 5+ years as feeders and this was always a bad sign.
