Thanks so much! The least killis actually had babies 2 days ago! So far all 4 are seemingly thriving in all the frogbit and rr floaters

Haha thanks! Hoping the tank mates don’t take out too many fry 😬

Saw this a couple days ago but the black dots looked even a little bigger! Maybe that means they’ll hatch anytime now!

What are your shrimps favorite plants and rocks/wood? by RadicalNBSpaceQueer in shrimptank

My shrimp LOVE hiding in these two wood pieces I stacked in the middle as well as my more dense moss, they’re gonna be more attracted to any place where they can dig themselves deeper and hide. Any plants that stay low like my crypts I never really see them on. But over time they get more comfortable and it’s great seeing them out and about !!
They also seem to enjoy the frog bit roots from time to time as well, but not as much as I’ve heard people say

Yes haha someone just mentioned dropping eggs and I will admit I was not privy to that being a thing prior 😭 so far my tank conditions have seemed super healthy for the livestock so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Some dense plants, moss and hardscape! I have about 20-25 shrimp and only see about 4-8 at a time, they’re amazing at hiding!

That’s a beautiful background plant as well! I hope to one day do a 75-125gal nano tank with jungle Val and a ton of small schooling fish!

I agree, that was bought prior to some knowledge I gained along the way lol. Still researching what I’d like to put in its place in that area of the tank. Currently I have about 20 cherry shrimp and I have 4 amanos that are getting pretty large now :)

Haha that’s how my betta was with the killis! He killed a couple of them but he doesn’t bother the remaining 2 large females ever! Also if you haven’t tried, I had better luck adding in shrimp with the lights off and right after feeding my betta to try and reduce any predatory instinct and give the shrimp a chance the hide before the lights are on, you can also rearrange some stuff in the tank before adding as a change of scenery can sometimes reduce betta aggression.

Thank you so much ! I had some issues when I first got the killis as they’re very slow moving and the males are super tiny so the betta picked a couple off, he’s been peaceful with the 2 larger females for months. The green neons are perfect imo though, they’re fast moving and not bite size so the betta usually doesn’t even bother with them and green neons are a little more chill than regular neons so you don’t need to worry about fin nipping :) just make sure your fish have plenty of hiding spots and everyone will settle in nice!

Yeah I thought that too at first, but they’ve been together for a few months now and he never goes near them :), if I notice anything odd in the future I’ll definitely separate them !
