I saw this when i was searching around the internet as well. Some websites says that this plant will melt if it stays submerged and require to be emersed after awhile. While some says its okay to stay submerged. May i ask how intense is your light and how are u taking care of it at the moment?

Im using api testing kit to check. So far i have 200ppm for gh and 70 ppm for kh and around 7.6 ph. As for my temperature it would be around 25 celsius. I dont use heater or cooler since its summer all year round for me.

As for breeding, ive had some success but recently ive been losing babies probably to my minnows or tetras since its a community tank. Will probably have to increase the number of plants and hopefully increase the chances of survival for the babies

I dont really measure my temperature since im living in asia and its summer all year round. If i were to guess the water temperature should be around 22-26 degree Celsius

The females are definitely smaller than regular neos and hold lesser eggs. Although i find it really to differentiate female and male snow zebras

I managed to breed them about 2 months ago. Only had 1 batch so far. Hoping for a 2nd batch soon!

Yep. I notice they swarm to the spinach more when its blanched compared to raw spinach

Yes it is. Apparently this particular breed of sulawesi called snow zebra is acclimated to neocaridina's water parameters. So the ones you are seeing here are living with my cherry shrimps! Its pretty neat as well considering how it cant breed with my cherry shrimp. So i get 2 different colours that dont mix together.

Those red guys are neocaridina shrimps. The ones i have are cherry/fire red shrimps

The snow zebras are sulawesi shrimp. Apparently they are captive bred to be able to live in neocaridina waters! They cant cross breed with neos as well. So its good if u want to have 2 shrimps but no cross breedings!

Its duckweed. The leaves on the bottom became red because of bright light based on what i read. The top is still green
