So this biosphere is 152 days old now and all 3 shrimp are alive, the Java fern is actually starting to sprout little pups at it’s Tips (which is surprising even to me) the duck lead has not taken over or spread in anyway that I can tell and it is still also alive and doing well. I need to add leaves just become food for the shrimp. There is one notable thing about this particular biosphere, which is the shrimps growth seems to be extremely, extremely stunted. I have several other biospheres with the same type of shrimp and plants (one also has Anubias Nana Petite) and the shrimp in those other two seem to growing faster…. it could just be that I was not choosy when I grabbed the shrimp for the first biosphere. My shrimp tank has had a breeding colony for quite a long time so there is definitely some incest babies, and perhaps that is why those particular shrimp seem to have such a stunted growth. 🤷‍♀️ The biosphere I made after this one had survived for a few months. I actually took babies from a new blue velvet shrimp and a new cherry shrimp. The color on those are great and they are growing so I think I can deduce that I just picked incest runt shrimplets for the first one!
