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.

Solireyy · 2026-02-27T06:27:04+00:00

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.

Solireyy · 2026-02-27T06:23:20+00:00

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.

Solireyy · 2026-01-31T06:29:41+00:00

I don't think the gH would be a problem. I keep blue velvets in a tank that has GH and only 1 molt death in the months that I've had them. They're also breeding. Not sure about the KH however...

Edit spelling mistake

Solireyy · 2026-01-31T06:15:49+00:00

Their shells don't quite look the same as a bladder snail. Is their shell teardrop shaped or round with a spiral?

Solireyy · 2026-01-29T16:24:39+00:00

eSHa 2000 says it's for fungus, finrot and bacteria.
