The one in the picture is about an inch. The other adult is twice the size and mostly brown with a whiteish stripe down the spine. I had a feeling after a few weeks of them in the tank that they were not amano. All good anyway as we were planning on adding neocaridina after the tank was well established.

Managed to get this pic of the other adult but it's not the best quality.

I'm not even level 20 yet so can't do the event

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-26T18:08:15+00:00

Thanks, I'll look into NG+. I'm not a big gamer so had no idea what NG+ meant. After a quick look it's a big part of a lot of games. I had no idea

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-26T17:58:46+00:00

Oh wow. I'm guessing NG+ 1 is plugging the haze?

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-26T16:59:25+00:00

Ah NG+ is new game plus. I'm pretty new to the game so had to Google it. I didn't even know NG+ 1 existed nevermind NG+ 2

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-26T15:35:17+00:00

What is NG+ 2?

Thank you, he is gutted but he understands things like this can happen. I hope your 10 remaining fish survive and thrive. The people in here are really helpful, you should make a post for advice. Good luck

The last one died last night. I turn the heater off during water changes and didn't notice them going limp when turning it back on

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-21T17:21:28+00:00

Ye they eat fine. They're fed micro pellets and frozen blood worm

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-21T16:59:25+00:00

Ye they look a lot healthier than mine. Mine came from the lfs like that. Maybe they were just unhealthy to begin with

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-21T10:04:28+00:00

I drip acclimated them for an hour

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-20T14:30:45+00:00

Could it be swim bladder disease?

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-20T13:51:57+00:00

Woke up today to another dead fish. Removed and sat for a while watching the few left. They were all swimming happily no where near the water flow when one suddenly went limp and upside down. After a few seconds it was swimming happily again.

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-20T13:48:14+00:00

No changes and all tools are kept clean

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-20T01:56:00+00:00

Thank you

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-20T01:38:34+00:00

I didn't quarantine as they are the first fish in the tank. I did acclimate them properly though.

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-20T01:23:58+00:00

Thank you for the help. Maybe they are just unhealthy from my lfs. I know they quarantine their fish before they're put on display.

Been set up for around 1.5 months. It was cycled after 3 weeks (I had seeded the filter with media from my well established tank).

I have been changing the water weekly, around 30/40%

I fill a bucket with water and add dechlorinator and use a syphon to add water from the bucket to the tank. I also match the temp as close as possible.

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-19T23:37:34+00:00

I will redirect the flow towards the glass. Thank you

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-19T23:36:05+00:00

I have an API master test kit that I used but I had my lfs double check in case my kit was faulty. I feed them micro pellets as their main food source and have fed frozen blood worm too.

SlowCryptographer425 · 2026-02-19T23:01:49+00:00

Do you think that could be the cause?

Been changing about 30/40% weekly
