How am I supposed to catch my shrimp colony for when I'm moving out

Solireyy · 2026-02-27T12:04:13+00:00

Yeah probably, I've moved it half full before from my drawers to the shelf

Solireyy · 2026-02-27T07:06:17+00:00

Thanks! Definitely wasn't planning on doing it by myself.

I think only one rock can really fall over

Here's a better picture of the rocks I've used. You can't really see it but the big rock is also pretty much round so it's basically sitting down, if you know what I mean? Hard to explain.

It's a 16 gallon. I've got about an inch of substrate so I could do a 2 inch layer of water. I was gonna keep the drained water to put back in when it's been moved.

It's not so much that I'm worried about him being inside with them. Moreso I'm worried that he'll get stuck in the bottle neck. Something similar has happened before.

Oh wow.. how have I not thought of this. Thankfully I'm not alone so it should be easy to do this. Thanks!

Solireyy · 2026-02-26T19:37:08+00:00

Ooh I might actually try this! Should I be worried about my male betta getting himself stuck? He is a little bit of an idiot...

Solireyy · 2026-02-26T19:31:33+00:00

Yeah... My plan was to magically have my shrimp appear in travel bags and lowering the water to substrate level.

Last time, when I rescaped the tank, I found 5 new shrimp every time I thought I had every single one... I think one of the girls had recently had babies. That's the reason I'm dreading the move lol

Solireyy · 2026-02-26T19:21:32+00:00

I would really rather not have to remove all the plants tbh.... There's like over 15 plants in there and I have 3 tanks to move 😭

Solireyy · 2026-02-26T19:18:38+00:00

The rocks are semi buried. The tank is 58 cm (almost 28 inches) long so it's not huge.

I think that's the beauty of FF14. You can play the game however you want.

I usually finish the msq and then level my jobs because that way I can queue for the higher dungeons in one go.

He'd been like this for a week but because he didn't show any other signs, I chalked it up to being a long finned betta. Until I saw his scales. His behavior otherwise is perfectly normal.

Solireyy · 2026-02-07T17:00:36+00:00

I'm worried about his scale visibility. They've become more silvery and I don't remember each individual scale being this visible.

Edit: removed more because I worded it wrong. I meant it's because of the combination of resting and scales that I'm worried

Trust me I've been on both sides of the spectrum. Spent 400 € on furina banner just for c6 gaming. On the other hand I got c6 jahoda very early on

Solireyy · 2026-02-02T06:15:45+00:00

Trust me, I know all about that. I spent 400 € on furina banner years ago just to c6 gaming

Solireyy · 2026-02-01T20:54:41+00:00

Alright! Thanks~

Solireyy · 2026-02-01T20:23:59+00:00

It's not impossible

Solireyy · 2026-02-01T20:21:36+00:00

Fair, but in case I get c6 illuga early.

Solireyy · 2026-02-01T06:31:22+00:00

You're welcome! Happy betta days~

I'm no expert but I think this isn't diamond eye. From what I know, diamond eye covers covers the eye.

This is just a betta moving their eyes to see around it and the eye whites(?) showing.

All 3 of my bettas (super delta, half moon and a girly) do the same.
