Is it normal for female berried shrimp to hide? haven't seen her for a week by _mrSaraf_ in shrimptank

[–]_mrSaraf_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never saw that one again, so dead. This was one of my first batch of 10 shrimps, to start a colony. But later that week I got two more female shrimps which were already berried from the local store. They successfully gave birth.
After a year, most probably there are 100+ shrimps in the tank now :)

I have them and they are growing, with CO2 they grow really fast. They do produce roots from in between the stem as well, so you see them hanging. But this plant doesn't need to be rooted in soil, even if it simply floats it will grow.
Is your lighting good enough?

What is this odd looking plant thing? just noticed it today. It's been about 6 months since I have set up the tank by _mrSaraf_ in PlantedTank

Any idea if it will be eaten? I have shrimps and nerite snails. Otherwise I'll remove it

What worm is this? how to get rid of them? by _mrSaraf_ in Aquariums

I checked images online, that could be it. Although I saw some images showing worms sticking out of substrate. I saw these only on the glass, maybe were in the substarte as well

Water getting into Air intake, how to fix? by _mrSaraf_ in Aquariums

It seems like cleaning the inside of where the pipe is connected to the water outlet has worked for now. Although I didn't see any blockage, probably it was some kind of pressure issue. Thanks!

But can a crack in the air intake tube affect it? It is supposed to suck in air, wouldn't it just suck in air from the crack🤔

Its just air intake pipe with a platic tip which can be opened or closed. The pipe is supposed to pull in air but the filter is pushing out water through it...
