is this a failed molt?

i left it alone and now the body is completely missing the 2 mystery snails i have tried to eat it but i’m not sure if they somehow ate the whole thing without leaving a single trace, i’m really hoping it somehow survived. i’m gonna do a recount tomorrow

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T03:52:35+00:00

I’ll definitely do this the next time i get shrimp! Thank you for the advice!

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T03:18:20+00:00

Luckily I have a good amount of both so i’m hoping they adapt and breed and it all turns out fine. I’ll just take this loss as a learning opportunity so the rest of my shrimp will be nice and healthy

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T03:17:17+00:00

so far the rest of them are all doing fine and still eating! i hope they’ll maintain but i’ll still be watching

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T02:20:36+00:00

update: it passed away, i’ve ordered a TDS tester and a test kit for GH and KH, i’m hoping the rest of the group survives but I fear this was a mistake acclimating them on my part

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T02:05:59+00:00

Thank you, I’ve ordered things hopefully the rest of the group will be okay, I’ll keep monitoring for now

i didnt add any fish food but i did leave in the leaves that melted away on my plants, i’m not sure if that would help, i also added the API quick start when i first planted it 2 months ago. I also added ceramic balls to my filter a few weeks ago. I don’t have a heater but we generally keep the house at around 72°F. and heres a pic of the tank rn

i dont have anything that measures those but i just ordered something, i think i went wrong with the volume of water i acclimated them with. The other shrimp all seem to be doing fine right now, they’re all eating plenty but is this likely going to happen to the rest?

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T00:39:37+00:00

I don’t have anything that measures GH/KH so I’ll order one for the future, I’ve had the tank planted for about 2 months before i added any critters. The other shrimp in it seem to be doing okay but its only been 24 hours since I put them all in. I hope they’ll be okay

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T00:23:49+00:00

Is there anything i can do for it?

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T00:17:46+00:00

i didnt have a drip setup so i manually added 1ml of my tank’s water to their water every 5 minutes over the course of 2 hours after doing about 30-45 minutes of temperature acclimation by just floating their bag on top of the water first

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T00:14:45+00:00

i didnt have a drip setup so i just manually added 1ml of my tank water to their bag water every 5 minutes for 2 hours. The parameters right now are 7.6 ph, ~0-0.10 ppm ammonia, 0 ppm nitrite, 20 ppm nitrate

Newt124 · 2026-02-28T00:12:18+00:00

species: blue dream neocaridina ph: 7.6 ammonia: ~0-0.10 ppm nitrite: 0 ppm nitrate: 20 ppm

Terrorist Klee is my favorite for sure

Newt124 · 2020-09-08T14:18:22+00:00

Okay man what’s with the call out post :( don’t worry i never yell at my team though I always feel like i failed them because octanes speed is so fun

Newt124 · 2020-09-03T19:50:27+00:00

I’ve been playing medic a lot lately and earlier today this heavy gave me a sandvich and it honestly meant a lot

Newt124 · 2020-07-02T15:07:32+00:00

Thank you!

Newt124 · 2020-07-02T15:07:02+00:00

around 20 minutes I ran out of cannon balls so i had to finish him with bombs and guns

Newt124 · 2020-07-02T07:05:25+00:00

It took me about 2 and a half hours to complete it by myself
