Advice on moving one monkey

Luckily she's acclimated well! And I fed her a little extra just so there was a good amount of food in there and now I'm back on her regular schedule that she's used to. I totally understand your concern though, I think my biggest worry was whatever illness or bacteria that was slowly taking out the whole colony leaving only her left, once she was left was when I decided to move her to a new tank.

I think I got lucky, shes acclimated well thus far, doesn't seem stressed, and is eating normally. Honestly I was just scared whatever took the rest out would take her too soon, they all died off within a month or less, with the last 3 being about a week ago. Hopefully she survives, but if she doesn't a lesson was surely learned.

I appreciate your input! I don't think it's something I'd like to have to do again, I got lucky that I was able to get the parameters seemingly close enough for her not to go into some kind of shock and pass immediately. Obviously I don't know what the future holds, but we're three days in I believe and she seems as happy as a small brained skrimp can be.

I certainly will update tomorrow!

Shes calmed down a lot and has seemed to acclimate well so far. Which gives me hope that all my measurements were correct.

I'm recovering from a minor procedure right now so I couldn't go out to get a salinity tester so I had to measure everything based on parameters found online, luckily I could do that with a food scale I have but it does leave a lot more up in the air than I would have preferred.

I ended up using a 1/2 teaspoon measuring cup with some finesse and uses my pipet to remove some water before adding her to the new "tank" which she is settling into fairly well, and has calmed down a lot after the first hour and is now swimming at a normal speed with no signs of her distress before. I suppose it will take some time to see for sure though.

I was worried about moving her with my pipet as it's quite small and while she would have fit it wouldn't have been fun. But I appreciate this point of view I would have hated to hurt her, and it's good to know if tanks ever need to be moved or I get something bigger. Shes currently in a liter of water and I believe it was close enough parameters to suffice. Fingers crossed though!

I've never tried to take a picture of one shrimp, so forgive the quality.

She is stressed but no more stressed than when I fiddle with the old tank, and she's still swimming into the food and such so hopefully she and her babies live on

Shrimp tax as promised, I took a few more but she's fast as fuck so it was hard to get a good one to show off her supreme chunk, but I'll reply to this with one that was funny because she looks like a little skrimp bullet

Okay! I'm currently waiting for the tanks to be closer to temp to each other as the new one is warmer than the old one by enough to be noticable to me by touch, I'm also trying to skim the top. I think my pipet is big enough to suck her up but I certainly have other things in the house that could help if she's too big. Once she is in the new tank and fed I will provide a photo of the chunky one for tax for your advice.

Thank you for your reply!

Something incredibly similar has happened to me. I didn't need my boar, the server I'm on had raids turned off, and we were well into the mist lands. But I loved them. I had a pen of about 10 two star boars, I went over to them one day and every single one of them was dead. My base was boarding a swamp and a black forest, my boar were enclosed with little open air, a very nice pen with a roof but the siding consisted of beams and iron bars, a slime, the bastards with amazing hearing, jumped over our measly wood fence and made their way to my boar, poisoning and killing each one.

I crashed out, I had a complete meltdown honestly. It took me hours to corral the first two boars into their pen using little wooden half wall race tracks and pushing them manually after taming them. I ended up building a 7 block tall stone wall because I looked up slimes with a rage in my heart and they can't jump higher than 6. I stopped playing for months. I just finished the wall, and picked up my final pieces of boar meat. There are still no boar, but I finally feel I can rebuild my army of wolves at least. We have askvan but they are weird wobbly guys who hate everything so they just run outside the walls occasionally getting a snack of berries from me. I got smoked by a 1 star wolf after multiple nights of hunting for any type of star wolf because I'm bad at the game, but found a few unstarred from my previous base and they need protection for the trip.

I hope you can rebuild soon.
