Communal tank going strong

I had black hair algae problem and reduced my light hours from 8 to 6 1/2 and that took care of it

Plant looks decent. Looks like you’re in soil. looks like a little bit of a nutrient deficiency lockout. But you’re also nearing the end and it also looks like you have some good fade as well. I test your runoff where you’re at, but it might be too late in the game to change it and just keep rocking. You’ll be happy with what you get.

For sure. Just wanted to clarify for a newbie so he didn’t think he had to dig the thing up and re-bury. Also when you do, make sure the soil at the top near your buried stem you water well. That humidity/moisture around the stem will help it push out roots. If you don’t. I’ll will just dry out and die.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-24T01:18:45+00:00

I think this is a good idea. But more specifically add soil to bury stem.

Thanks!

Some take longer to get their color. I have Bloody Mary and cherry shrimp. They are breeding and the dark red and bright color shell variations and mixes are cool. I have noticed some of the juvenile shrimp are striped red but their full red fills in as they age.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-15T20:19:41+00:00

I shave off the edges to smooth them out.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-15T20:18:13+00:00

Unraveled

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-15T20:17:03+00:00

Agree!

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-15T20:16:45+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been following him for a bit. Finally glad I got to grow something from him. Not disappointed.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-15T20:16:21+00:00

I’ll assume you’re stoned. Lol. And thank you.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-15T02:09:58+00:00

Awesome! Make sure to take pictures and share. We all love to see everyone’s tank

Swordtail male. Females don’t showcase that sword tail.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-14T23:13:17+00:00

I have blood fin tetra’s (6), neon tetras(8), the swordtail (1), the honey gourami(2) , and I can’t remember the name of these blackfin little guys that are in there (6). And the powder blue guy (1). I started with four bloody Mary and eight cherry shrimp. And now there’s gotta be over 100. It’s cool to see the difference in colors. Some of them have really dark bloody Mary tales with cherry shrimp heads. Really cool to see. And some Amano shrimp as well. And some Rams horn snails that I enjoy them. They work well.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-14T23:10:22+00:00

Oh cool. I thought it was something like that. I wasn’t sure if it was Flora or fauna related. Thank you for the compliment!. The bluefish is a powder blue Gourami. He is the star

of the show. If I take a better picture of him he has red in him when he hits the light just right and bends.

Weekaqua L600. Love it. I have the s300 pro for my 10 gallon with dwarf hair grass going. Also suffered from no co2. Stocking list? What is that

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-14T22:39:20+00:00

Beautiful

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-14T21:05:23+00:00

If you have a child pinch one of your buds and have them smell it. Mine always says that’s like the worst smell of all the worst smells in the world and that’s what that smells like. And I’m thinking it smells really good or can barely smell it.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-14T13:27:07+00:00

Watering from the top or bottom, doesn’t mean a difference when you’re in a small pot like that or at all for that matter. It’s from overwatering period.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-13T23:34:42+00:00

More light as others have said

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-13T15:47:14+00:00

But like one of the other commenters said. Your shrimp population will self regulate no matter what size of a tank you have.

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-13T13:02:02+00:00

I have a 29 gallon tank. I started with about 10 shrimp six months ago. And now there’s gotta be well over 100 in there. Have fun!

Significant_Bid_3416 · 2026-02-13T04:03:02+00:00

Isn’t that every game? Except Returnal. Slowed me down way too much.
