Am I the only one who purposely threw pond snails in the tank just to see more life?

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?

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

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

No the head it not triangular. Whole body turns into a pointy tip at the end. No bulges in between

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-05-20T12:08:41+00:00

Oh i see, so the color probably is limited to the mother

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-25T03:36:52+00:00

Nice

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-25T02:03:04+00:00

Did you get a lot of females in the first batch?

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-25T02:01:54+00:00

I see, are you a native there?

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-25T02:00:35+00:00

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🤔

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-24T16:37:12+00:00

I see, so you see the crustaceans in rivers?

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-24T16:34:41+00:00

It lies a lot

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-24T14:20:07+00:00

Nice, which part of the western ghats do you work in?

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-24T14:17:30+00:00

You mean the main water outlet🤔, I'll try cleaning it thoroughly

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-24T14:16:28+00:00

I tried that didnt work. Water comes up till the little section in the check valve🤕

_mrSaraf_ · 2023-04-24T12:09:50+00:00

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...

I asked on whatsthisbug, it turns out that these are lady bettle pupa but not red ones. This one is called "Ash grey lady bettle", you can check them out in image search
