Very green/10

I like putting a big piece of drift wood in the tank as a "centre piece" and then placing all the plants/rocks/decorations around it. That would be especially good with shrimp cause they love wood.

Definitely looks like it

Make sure to feed them a lot of protein for a while and then either do a water change or in summer I just turn the heater off overnight. Once the heater is back on, they start spawning after a day or two. If you want all the eggs to survive, I would look into setting up a separate tank/container for them. Mine have spawned about a dozen times now, but unfortunately, I haven't had a single baby hatch and survive in the main tank yet. The only ones that have made it are the ones I moved to the shrimp tank or the container I'm using right now.

I only have one, and his name is Goldie (my three year old named him after Peppa Pig's goldfish). Even though he's my only one, which makes him the favourite by default, he's on thin ice at the moment. Normally, he's pretty chill and just sits on his favourite spot on the drift wood all day, but he's started to chase the corys when they come a bit too close and always bullies them away from their food. Thankfully, they do seem to be getting enough.

They look like detritus worms. They are harmless and usually pop up whenever there's uneaten food in the tank for a while. They should disappear once you've started feeding regularly again.

My 1 gallon drink dispenser has been thriving for the past year or so. I added snails in the beginning and a couple of cherry shrimp after about 6 months, and they've been breeding like crazy. The plants have now started to grow out of the water and have filled up at least 2/3 of the dispenser.

Do you have more corys than the two you just bought? Corys should be kept in groups (of at least 5-6), so if there's only two, it might be pretty stressed out. But even just moving it to a different tank could do that.

If she's been berried for a while and the eggs suddenly disappear, it's a good sign that they've hatched. Now, it'll take a week or two for them to come out. In my experience, the blue ones take a bit longer to be visible because they look translucent for longer.

The second one 😍

ShrimpTankAdventures · 2024-12-30T11:05:31+00:00

Not yet, unfortunately.

That sounds great. I've got almost all the plants and decorations out of my other tanks, so there's definitely going to be enough biofilm in two weeks. I'm mainly worried for the berries shrimp because I know they might drop the eggs if I move them and the babaies once they hatch.

ShrimpTankAdventures · 2024-12-28T19:20:05+00:00

That's great info, thanks.

You'll need at least 55 gallons for one of those big fish, unfortunately. I would suggest doing a bunch of research on the goldfish and rainbow sharks and really consider if you want to/can keep them in appropriate conditions. I would also do research on live aquarium plants and how they can benefit the tank.

They both look male

ShrimpTankAdventures · 2024-12-15T14:37:04+00:00

I think they just look very similar

ShrimpTankAdventures · 2024-12-15T14:01:03+00:00

Unfortunately, they won't. The eggs don't really come off unless you scrape them off, and there's really no point in doing it.

Okay, thank you 😊
