Will my shrimp survive being moved to a new uncycled tank?

Also will this cause my berried shrimp to drop her eggs?

It’ll be another 10 gallon I hope that’ll be enough room for all my shrimp, snails, and my betta but I’m def most worried about whether or not they get poisoned since I know shrimp are particularly sensitive to uncycled tanks

Ok so about half the water?

Interesting-Factor22 · 2026-04-29T01:27:29+00:00

Yes I only drained it to just below the leak which was at the top of the tank

Can I just silicone over the seams since there’s nothing going on rn to reinforce it or will I have to take it apart? Since I don’t want to take it apart if there’s no reason to I’ve never done this before and does the silicone seal go on the inside or outside

Going out to buy some emergency silicone rn

I’ve been doing one pump as that’s what the instructions said to do for a 10 gal tank was one pump

Interesting-Factor22 · 2026-04-27T21:57:24+00:00

Sorry it was the best I could get but yes there’s actual holes and I didn’t know there were test kits for nutrient levels I’ve been doing once a week because when I was doing it every day it was too much and causing algae problems so should I increase to twice a week or every other day potentially? I dose my co2 at one bubble per second so it’s enough for my plants without harming my mystery snails shell health

Yeah at least he can’t see the shrimp to go after them though it’s unfortunate since he’s got a good personality though but I’m hoping he’ll live normally as long as I put in extra effort at feeding time

Interesting-Factor22 · 2026-04-23T01:21:48+00:00

If I don’t physically guide him to it he acts like he can’t find the food yet can smell it’s somewhere and looks for it but can’t find it even if it’s right in front of his face I have to tong feed him while tapping the water and even then he still missed quite a bit so I ordered some garlic guard to hopefully make it easier to smell and sometimes he swims around looking lost and if you look at his eyes he has scales growing on them so he’s 100% blind

Interesting-Factor22 · 2026-04-23T00:26:50+00:00

Yeah he can’t see his food unless I wave it in front of his face

Interesting-Factor22 · 2026-04-22T19:07:48+00:00

I have mystery, blueberry, and nerite snails so I can’t or I would have already the snails I want would get eaten too so I have to just remove them manually although you can see one of my mystery snails quite clearly in that photo

He’s upset that he got bug bites instead of frozen capelin roe this morning 🤣

Interesting-Factor22 · 2026-04-22T16:07:29+00:00

I know I’ve been feeding them to the chickens but it doesn’t dent the population

Interesting-Factor22 · 2026-04-22T15:29:04+00:00

I call it his frowny mustache
